Campbell Collins - High Efficiency, Single & Multi-Output AC/DC Converters
Campbell Collins Ltd, a specialist supplier of power supplies, capacitors and hi-rel power semiconductors announced the release of the GRN series of high efficiency, compact AC/DC Power Supplies from IPD (Integrated Power Designs) of the USA.
The Efficiency levels are as high as 89%, leading to high power densities, small package sizes, cooler operating temperatures and higher overall reliability. This also saves energy for the user and hence ultimately lowers operating costs. The efficiency curve is also very flat across the entire load range, offering consistent results under different load conditions while still offering >85% efficiencies at very light loads. Operating temperature range is from 0°C to +70°C, with full power being available up to 50°C in natural convection environments (derates linearly to 50% available load at 70°C).
The GRN offers internal hold-up from supply voltage interruptions for up to 16ms, and also meets the leakage current requirements of UL/EN60601-1 making them suitable for Medical applications as well as IT and Industrial applications. No minimum load is required to maintain output regulation, and MTBF figures are in excess of 100khrs according to Mil-Hdbk 217F.
