Solar and wind power reinvented: latest news
Virtually all of the grid capacity being added in the world is renewable or nuclear nowadays. Solar and wind met 10% of electricity demand in March 2017 in the USA. Hydro electricity from a wet spring season on the West Coast, which alone provided more than 10% of the nation’s electricity, as well as biomass and geothermal power, all renewable energy sources combined met 24% of electric demand in March and if we add in the 20% we get from n...
Full brick converters suitable for distributed power architectures
The lower cost iFB series of 557-600W rated DC/DC converters have been announced by TDK Corporation, which are packaged in the industry standard full-brick form factor.The iFB models offer high useable power and a robust design suitable for the demands of distributed power architectures. Applications include a wide variety of data communications, telecommunications, and test and measurement equipment.
Keeping the noise down: Converter and inverter output filtering
Most modern power conversion topologies use switched-mode techniques for highest efficiency and smallest size and cost. Inevitably, switching noise is produced and output filters are required to minimise EMI and provide reliable operation of the power converter and load. This article looks at the effects of noise and some of the filtering techniques that can be used.
Selecting DC-link capacitors in power converters
In applications from the simplest cell-phone charger to grid-tied inverters operating at hundreds of kW, power conversion schemes are used which incorporate an intermediate stage where energy is processed at DC. A ‘DC-link’ capacitor is fitted at this point to provide a low impedance path for high frequency switching currents and to provide energy storage.
Compact 75VDC input EMC Filter is rated for 50A
TDK Corporation announces the introduction of the RDEN-048050 48VDC nominal EMC filter rated at 50A. Enclosed in a compact metal case, the filter utilises stud terminals for ease of connection. Excluding the terminals, the filter measures just 90mm in length, 60mm in width and has a height of 30mm.Rated for a maximum voltage of 75VDC, the RDEN will operate at full rated current in ambient temperatures of -30 to +55°C, and with derating, up to...
Programmable DC power supply series saves space and weight
The first model in a 1U, programmable DC power supply series has been introduced by TDK-Lambda. The Genesys+ 5kW output uses digital signal processing (DSP) to improve efficiency, said the company.
3-phase input industrial power supply delivers 3,200W at 48V
TDK has announced the addition of a 3,200W, 48V at 66.7A rated model to its TPS3000 series of industrial power supplies. Capable of operating from a 350 - 528VAC 3-phase input in a Delta or Wye configuration, the TPS3000-48 avoids the need for step down transformers that traditional 208/230Vac input power supplies require. In addition, phase current balancing is simplified.
Modular AC/DC power supplies meet medical and broadcast certifications
Modular AC/DC power supplies in the QM series by TDK-Lambda, are low acoustic noise 700 to 1200W supplies carry both medical and industrial safety certifications, and can be used in applications such as BF-rated medical equipment, test and measurement, broadcast, communications and renewable energy.
15W DC/DC converters have six-sided EMI shielding
TDK Corporation announces the introduction of the CCG15 series of 15W DC/DC converters, packaged in a metal case providing six-sided shielding for reduced radiated EMI. The CCG15 has the industry standard 1x1" footprint, and can operate over a wide 4:1 input range. These converters are suitable for use in a large number of applications, including communications, industrial control, test and measurement, broadcast and portable battery powered equi...
35W triple output power supply simplifies system integration
TDK Corporation announces the introduction of the 35W rated CUT35 power supplies, requiring no minimum loading to maintain tight regulation specifications. In addition, output 1 is electrically isolated from outputs 2 and 3 through the use of a two independent converter topology, enabling the product to also be configured for dual output. This flexibility makes it suitable for use in a wide range of process control, broadcast, test & measurem...
