Electronic Transformer Reduces Energy Costs in Industrial Applications

The XT40 family is up to 96% efficient, Din-rail mounted, measures a miserly 96mm wide and weighs just 1.4Kg. Operating temperature range is –25°C to +60°C without derating and offers a 25% “PowerBoost” feature to handle motor start-up currents and similar peak loads. All XT40’s meet EN61000-3-2, active input-transient filtering, have a typical power factor of 0.93 and no inrush current surge.

Four models are available offering semi-regulated outputs of 24VDC @ 40A, 36VDC @ 26.6A, 48VDC @ 20A and 72VDC @ 13.3A. Two input voltages are available at 400V or 480V. Front panel mounted LED’s indicate DC OK, transformer shut-down, low input voltage or missing phase and impending thermal cut-off.

Harry Moore, Managing Director of PULS UK comments, “Our new XT series of Electronic Transformers can save our customers up to 25% of the cost of conventional power converters. They also offer continuing lower cost of ownership as their small size, low weight and very high efficiency reduce costs for cabinets and enclosures, reduce shipping costs, simplify cooling and ventilation requirements and offer real saving in energy consumption. Anyone who currently uses conventional transformers or has to supply a power hungry single load will find our XT40 series offers many advantages.”

Typical applications include DC motors as used on conveyor belts, manufacturing and logistics systems, industrial drive systems, valves for water distribution and purification systems, electrolytic painting and finishing, welding, heaters and lighting.
