MEAN WELL Introduces 500 W DC-DC Converters for Railway Applications

MEAN WELL has been working on railway telematics for years, the 8 - 500 W encapsulated module type, enclosed type, and DIN rail type have been widely praised within the industry. To meet the demand for a wider voltage input range, the company has introduced a newly launched encapsulated module of 1/4 brick 150 W 12:1 (14~160 V(DC)) ultra-wide voltage input RQB150W12 series.

Main features: 14~160 V(DC) ultra-wide voltage input can cover the mainstream nominal voltages of global railway systems (24/36/48/72/96/110V (DC)), operate under extreme environments of -40~+90ºC, an external capacitor can be added to ensure the hold-up time would last for 10~30 ms while the DC input is temporarily unstable, 3 KV (AC) high isolation withstand voltage, complete protections, etc. It is very suitable for industries such as railways, trams, MRTs, buses and information networks, industrial control automation, communication equipment and double-layer isolation requirements, DC UPS systems, battery voltage conversion or voltage stabilization.
