AC/DC supply provides 95% efficiency

XP Power has announced the EPL225 series of efficient, open frame AC/DC power supplies suited for industrial, IT and medical applications. The series comprises seven single-output models that offer a range of standard output voltages from 12 to 48V DC with an output power of 225W.

Available in an industry standard 1U package, the series has a convection cooled output power rating of 150W which is believed to be 'best in the industry' for a power supply of this footprint.

The EPL225 series offers a minimum average efficiency of 93% and a maximum efficiency of 95% resulting in less heat to dissipate and a cooler running unit, this is said to contribute to a more reliable longer-life power supply.

The EPL225 is suitable for use in a range of environments with an operating temperature range from -20 to 70°C.The series conforms to safety standards for ITE and medical applications and is suited to space constrained applications that are either convection cooled or have airflow.
