Power supply withstands rough handling

Paul Boughton

Lambda is adding a lower power range of multi-output models to its popular NV-Power family of configurable power supplies.

The new NV-100 models enable Lambda to satisfy the increasing demand for cost-efficient 1U high configurable power supplies at 100W in broadcast and instrumentation markets. In addition, the new models hold MIL-STD-801E approvals and are therefore capable of withstanding the rough handling and harsh service conditions associated with military use.

The range is also well suited to other applications, such as ATE, automation, routers, servers and security networks.

Designed to operate from inputs in the range from 90-264V AC (45-63Hz) or 120-350V DC, Lambda's NV-100 power supplies are claimed to offer a class-leading efficiency of up to 90 per cent. They are available with up to four outputs, covering the range 3.3-24V and delivering currents up to 10A.

Available with a selection of outputs and cover/chassis/cooling options, it is possible to achieve a wide range of output voltage and current combinations. Using the Lambda NV-Power Configurator, design engineers can create their own configuration online. This tool checks the configuration and offers the optimum supply with fully approved samples available on short lead times. Total output regulation is 1 per cent and no minimum load is required.

The NV-100 power supplies achieve a convection power rating of 50W at ambient temperatures up to 50 degrees C. As well as being EN 61000-6-3 and FCC47 compliant (achieving class B conducted and radiated emissions), Lambda's 100W NV-Power models meet IEC/EN/UL/CSA 60950-1 safety approvals, carry the CE mark and come with a three-year warranty.
