XP Power announced the addition of a 250 Watt range to its GCS series of single-output AC-DC power supplies. Certified to both industrial and medical international safety standards, the range is available in an industry standard 127 x 76,2 mm open-frame package, an enclosed covered version, and top- or end-mounted fan cover options.
The open-frame format allows the GCS250 to deliver up to 180 Watts by convection cooling, and the full 250 Watts when provided with only 7 cfm airflow or when using the optional fan mounted configurations. With both Class I and Class II input construction techniques used, designers can opt to use an input earth scheme or not.
These highly efficient (up to 93%) supplies are available with outputs covering all the popular nominal voltages from +12 to +48 V d.c. A secondary 12 V d.c. / 0,6 A fan supply is also a standard feature, with remote on/off being available as an option.
Suiting a wide range of application environments, the GCS250 can operate over the extended temperature range of -40°C to +70°C with no derating until +50°C. The supplies operate from a wide input range of 85 - 264 V a.c., with full power available from 90 V a.c. upwards.
No additional EMC filtering components are required since the GCS series meets Class B conducted and Class A radiated criteria as stipulated by the internationally recognised standards of EN55011 and EN55022. Also, the units comply with the 3rd edition medical safety standards EN60601-1, ANSI/AAMI ES60601-1, CSA22.2 No 60601-1, and the IT equipment safety standard UL/EN 60950-1.
Ideal for use in any ‘1U’ equipment, the GCS250 is suitable for a multitude of applications within the industrial and healthcare markets.
