Power supplies
Bear Power Supplies has designed a custom power supply for a provider of smart meters and data collection systems.
The custom 30W AC/DC converter will power energy-monitoring systems to be mounted on utility poles worldwide, providing a key link in the 'smart grid' advanced metering infrastructure (AMI).
Bear designed the custom AC/DC converter to withstand high transient surges such as those caused by lightning, following IEEE C62.41-1991 (R1995) practices.
This compact power supply has been designed to deliver years of reliable operation under an extreme operating temperature range of -40C to +70C.
In addition to smart grid and other utility applications, Bear custom power supplies are found in a wide range of commercial and industrial equipment including ground transportation, telecommunications, medical and military systems.
