Efficient power supplies have variable-speed fans
XP Power
SHP1000 and MHP1000
XP Power has extended its SHP and MHP series of high-power-density, fan-cooled AC/DC power supplies with the SHP1000 and MHP1000, which are claimed to have 85 per cent efficiency.
The SHP1000 and MHP1000 have a power density of up to 8.9W/cubic inch and are capable of providing 1,000W across the full input range of 90-264VAC.
Models with an output of 24VDC or greater are capable of providing up to 1,200W when used with an input of 180VAC or greater.
A range of six models provide the single outputs of +12, +15, +24, +28, + 36 or +48VDC.
The output is user adjustable within +/-10 per cent of nominal.
A +5VDC, 1A always on output is also provided for standby purposes.
The MHP1000 range meets the UL/IEC60601-1 safety specification for medical equipment, as well as EN55022/EN55011 EMC limits of Class B for conducted emissions and Class A for radiated.
The SHP1000 range complies with the UL/IEC60950-1 standards for ITE equipment, meets SEMI F47 requirements and EN55022 EMC limits for Class B conducted and Class A radiated.
These compact units, measuring 242.6 x 149.8 x 61mm (9.6 x 5.9 x 2.4in), can deliver full output power from -20 to +50C and with derating up to +70C.
The units are capable of start up from as low as -40C.
Both the SHP and MHP employ a variable-speed fan for noise reduction.
Available control signals include AC OK and remote on/off.
An active single-wire current-share capability is also provided, to allow sharing of loads across multiple units.
For configuration of redundant systems, remote sense is provided.
The SHP1000 and MHP1000 are available from Farnell or direct from XP Power.
