Artesyn power supplies offer cost-competitive reliability and efficiency

Artesyn Embedded Technologies has announced the LCB range of enclosed AC/DC power supplies, consisting of 23 models that are said to provide a reliable, low cost solution for general-purpose industrial applications requiring a single low voltage DC supply. The power supplies are claimed to combine typical efficiency of 89 or 90%, with a no-load power consumption of 0.5W.

The LCB range is offered in four series with nominal power output ratings of 35, 50, 100 and 150W. The LCB35, LCB50 and LCB100 series each comprises six single-output models, offering voltages of 3.3, 5, 12, 15, 24 and 48V, while the LCB150 series comprises five single-output models, offering voltages of 5, 12, 15, 24 and 48V. LCB35, LCB50 and LCB100 series units accept a universal 88 to 264Vac input and are also capable of operating from a 125 to 373Vdc input, while the LCB150 model accepts an 88 to 132Vac or 176 to 264Vac input and is also capable of operating from a 248 to 373Vdc input.

Designed for normal convection cooling, all LCB family power supplies accommodate an ambient operating temperature range of -25 to 70°C. An externally accessible trim pot allows the output voltage to be adjusted by ±10%.
