100/150 W miniature PCb type power supplies
November 2012
Electrical Power & Protection
In response to the low power consumption requirement for electronic end products, Mean Well has introduced the AC/DC green open frame type power supplies of the 100/150 series. Along with models of EPS-25, EPS-35, EPS-45, EPS-65 and EPP-300, the new100/150 W miniature power units allow Mean Well to extend its green PCB type power solution to cater for an even wider range of miniaturised applications.
These series have no load power consumption below 0,5 W and high performance frequency switching design that exhibits efficiency up to 93% depending on load. EPP-100/150 can be cooled by free air convection from -30 to 50°C ambient temperature and can operate up to 70°C with suitable derating. Besides standard protection functions for short circuit, over-voltage and over-temperature, the supplies feature a 12 V/0,3 A auxiliary output and comply with safety requirements per UL/CUL/TUV/CB/CE. Suitable applications include electrical or mechanical equipment, factory automation and all other applications that require low no load power consumption.
