CoolX power supplies approved to IEC 62368 safety standard

CoolX600 Series of 600W convection-cooled modular power supplies from Excelsys is now approved to IEC 62368-1 – Part 1, the new safety standard for audio, video, information and communication technology equipment, as well as business and office machines.

According to the company, the standard provides a single approval covering the increasing overlap in design and functionality of professional and domestic equipment. The new standard is meant to replace the IEC 60950-1 and IEC 60065 by 2019.

The CoolX600 power supply series is the latest user configurable modular power supply which delivers 600W without fan assisted cooling from an 8.5 x 4.5 x 1U package.

The CoolX600 is available with full safety certifications to UL/EN60950 and UL/EN60601 3rd and 4th Edition (EMC) for both industrial and medical applications. Stand-out medical features include body floating rating, dual fusing, 2 x MOPP and less than 300uA leakage current.

Said to offer system integrators flexibility with PMBus monitoring and control capability, the power supply is user field configurable with Plug and Play power. All outputs are isolated and may be connected in series or parallel. Mounting options include base, side and Din Rail alternatives.

The CoolX600 can be populated with up to 4 CoolMods, providing up to four isolated DC outputs ranging from 2.5 to 58.0V. Additional features include SEMI F47 compliance, operation at 5000m altitude and an additional 25W standby power output.

Typical applications include medical clinical diagnostic equipment, medical lasers, radiological imaging, test and measurement, automation equipment, printing, telecommunications, audio equipment and high reliability harsh industrial electronics, radar, communications.
