Recom Power releases two new variants of its popular and cost-effective RACM600-L AC/DC series with 12 V and 48 V outputs. Adding to the existing 24 V output version, the new parts are also rated for extended peak power operation up to 800 W.
The new parts mentioned are designed in the same 7.7" x 4" x 1U open frame/U-channel format. This format supports convection-cooled constructions, which means they can dissipate heat without the need for conductive cooling methods. The new parts have a continuous output rating of 430 W when using convection cooling, and they can handle up to 600 W continuous output when airflow is available. The new variants are safety-certified and feature a peak load of 800 W, as described in detail in the datasheet. The datasheet provides comprehensive information on how the peak load behaves under various duty cycles and repetition rates, making it suitable for dynamic loads commonly found in modern systems.
The RACM600-L series has an 80 - 275 VAC input range and features a 5 V/0.5 A standby output. A range of control functions is included: remote ON/OFF, remote sensing, PSU-Good signal, and output adjustment +/-20%, via a potentiometer or through the built-in PMBus interface. Parts can be paralleled with active current sharing and OR-ing diodes are included for redundant operation. Efficiency is particularly high, peaking at 93%, meeting the ‘90+’ requirements.
Certifications held include IEC/EN/UL 62368-1 for IT/multimedia and IEC/EN/ANSI/AAMI 60601-1, 2MOPP medical, with low leakage current for Body Floating (BF) patient-connect applications. ‘Class B’ EMC limits are met with a good margin, the operating altitude is up to 5000 m (3000 m medical), and the parts are rated over-voltage category II (OVCII).
Parts operate over -20°C to 70°C with derating, dependent on airflow and input voltage.
The RACM600-L series is designed for applications that require reliability, long life, and guaranteed uptime. To achieve this, full protection is included, and the design uses high-grade components with conservative ratings. With these features, the parts are suitable for applications such as medical patient monitoring and industrial test and measurement, where versatile cooling and mounting options are also valuable.
