Open frame AC/DC supplies specified up to 250W

XP Power has added a 250W range to its GCS series of single output AC/DC power supplies.

Certified to both industrial and medical international safety standards, and comprising 150, 180, and now 250W models, the GCS series is available in multiple mechanical formats. The devices are available in an industry standard 127 x 76.2mm open frame package. An enclosed covered version, and top or end-mounted fan cover options are available. The open frame format allows the GCS250 to deliver up to 180W by convection cooling, and the full 250W when provided with only a 7CFM airflow, or when using the optional fan mounted configurations. With both Class I and Class II input construction techniques used, designers can opt to use an input earth scheme or not. The devices offer a typical efficiency of 93% and are available with outputs covering all the popular nominal voltages from 12 to 48VDC. A secondary 12VDC/0.6A fan supply is also a standard feature. The GCS250 can operate over the extended temperature range of – 40 to 70°C with no derating until 50°C. The supplies operate from an input range of 85 to 264VAC, with full power available from 90VAC and higher.
