XP Power Releases Compact Industrial and Medical 400W Power Supply
XP Power announced the FCM400 series of single output high efficiency 400W ac-dc power supplies suitable for a wide range of industrial and medical applications. Having an enclosed low noise fan and measuring just 6 x 4 x 1.93 inches (152.4 x 101.6 x 49.0mm), the compact units have a power density of 13.9W per cubic inch and a typical efficiency rating of 85%. It is believed that the FCM400 has one of the highest power densities of any 400W power supply with medical safety approvals.
The FCM400 series can provide a higher peak power capability, up to 600W for 0.5 seconds. This is important for applications that might draw a higher current for a short period, and enables the customer to specify the unit in place of a larger higher rated unit, therefore saving space and cost.Medical applications that might demand a high peak power include respiratory appliances, surgical equipment and hospital beds.
Accommodating the wide input range of 80 – 275Vac, the family comprises 6 models with nominal outputs of +12, +15, +24, +28, +36, or +48V. An output trim allows an adjustment of ±10% to suit non-standard voltage requirements and compensate for any voltage drops in the end system.
The series meets the electrical safety standards of both IEC 60601-1/UL 60601-1 for medical equipment and IEC 60950-1/UL 60950-1 for industrial and IT equipment. The series also complies with EN 55022/EN55011 specifications for Class B conducted and Class A radiated emissions without the need of additional filtering components.
A +5Vdc 0.5A always on standby output provides a supply for logic and memory functions without the need to design-in an additional voltage source. Remote on/off, AC OK and power fail signals provide basic monitor and control functions when integrating into the end system.
The FCM400 12V output model is priced at less than $0.50 per watt in OEM quantities.
