With most markets under price pressures, the FCS40 and FCS60 look to address this by combining low unit cost with easy integration into multiple end equipment markets with international agency approvals, high efficiency and low emissions. Both power supplies also come with a wide operating temperature (-25C to +70C) that allows use in a wide variety of environments.
The FCS40 & 60 supplies offer a single output of either 12, 15, 18, 24, 36 or 48V at efficiencies up to 86%, model dependant. An on-board potentiometer allows the voltage to be trimmed by 10%, optimising the voltage for specific load requirements or voltage drops.
Both devices carry extensive approvals that ease the task of the designer in obtaining system-level approval for their designs. For medical applications these include IEC/EN/ES60601 offering 2 x Means of Patient Protection (MOPP). The units also include two-line input fuses and offer Class II operation, furthering their suitability for medical applications in the home healthcare environment.
For ITE & industrial applications the supplies are approved to IEC60950-1 and IEC/EN/cUL62368-1 as well as meeting the needs of the Low Voltage Directive (LVD). IEC60335-1 approval makes the FCS40 and FCS60 applicable to domestic & household applications.
Part of XP Power’s ‘Green Power’ range, both new supplies minimise the no load power consumption to less than 0.3W, facilitating compliance with the latest environmental legislation. The ability to be convection cooled up to +70C with de-rating removes the need for a fan from many systems, saving energy, cost and weight as well as improving system reliability.
