Compact 500W DC/DC Converter Built To Last In the Toughest Environments
23 December 2008
Absopulse Electronics’ new RWY 65 series fully encapsulated, DC/DC converter uses field-proven topology to generate 500W output power from a compact 153mm x72mm x 269mm enclosure. Designed to meet the stringent requirements of EN50155 for electronic equipment used on railway rolling stock, this converter is also suitable for operation in other extreme environments including industrial, mining, military, oilrigs and transportation.
The RWY 65 meets EN55022 Class B and EN50121-3-2 conducted and radiated standards and is designed to meet IEC 61373 Cat 1 A and B and Cat 2 shock and vibration standards as a minimum. It is entirely potted with a thermally conductive MIL-spec silicon rubber compound with UL94V-0 flammability rating. Conduction cooled, it is rated for operation over a -40°C to +70°C cold-plate temperature range without derating.
This 500W unit delivers standard outputs of 12V, 24V, 36V, 48V or 110VDC and can be operated from 48VDC, 72VDC, 96VDC or 110VDC supply voltages, with wide input ranges. Other input and output voltages are available on request. The unit features 3kVDC input to output isolation, full electronic protection and up to 90% efficiency, depending on input/output configuration.
