Emerson Releases New 100W Power Supplies for LED Lighting

November 21, 2011 by Jeff Shepard

A new series of high efficiency power supplies for LED lighting, the LDS100 series, has been announced by Emerson Network Power. The company’s LED lighting products now cover three distinct power output bands – 25, 70 and 100W – making it easy for original equipment manufacturers and system installers to obtain the optimum high quality power supply for their application.

The new Emerson Network Power LDS100 series 100W LED power supplies offer a choice of models – featuring an input range of 120 to 277Vac (H models), and an input range of 100 to 240Vac (U model). The first models in the series feature Class 2 outputs capable of delivering up to 4.1A at 24Vdc, and offer both constant current and constant voltage output modes, enabling customers to meet the demands of different LED lighting systems with a single model, thereby minimizing inventory. Constant voltage mode operates from no load to full load. The LDS100-24-H03 model features programmable current limit levels, controlled via an IEC 60929 compliant interface using a standard 0 to 10V signal, to support dimming. The current limit level is also resistor programmable and can be preset by the system designer.

All Emerson Network Power LDS100 power supply models feature active power factor correction rated at 0.9 minimum to support Energy Star requirements and meet the class C harmonic requirements of IEC 61000-3-2. The supplies also have a very high conversion efficiency – typically 90 percent when operating from a nominal 230Vac input – which further helps minimize users’ running costs. They are rated for operation over a wide case temperature range of minus 40 to 90°C, without forced air cooling. Available with ingress protection ratings as high as IP67, which provides protection against shallow water immersion, LDS100 power supplies are intended for outdoor and ruggedized indoor applications. Housed in a slimline package measuring just 8.5 x 1.65 inches (215 x 42mm), with a height of only 1.2 inches (30mm), the power supplies are easy to accommodate in modern LED lighting fixtures with limited space.

Emerson Network Power LDS100 series power supplies comply with the CISPR 15 requirement for EMI and meet FCC part 15 conducted noise standards. They are protected against short-circuit, overvoltage and overtemperature conditions. The surge immunity performance of the LDS100 series has been evaluated to installation class 3 (U models) and class 4 (H models) test levels set out in IEC 61000-4-5.

Critical safety specifications include EN 61347-2-13 and UL 8750, which are specific to LED related applications, and the LDS100 series also complies with CSA C22.2 No. 107.1 and CE LVD directives. The flexible nature of the LDS100 design platform also facilitates rapid modification for customer-specific applications.
