Excelsys Technologies has announced that its CoolX600 Series of 600W convection-cooled modular power supplies is now approved to IEC 62368-1 – Part 1, the new safety standard for audio, video, information and communication technology equipment.
The standard has been created to provide a single approval covering the increasing overlap in design and functionality of professional and domestic equipment.
The safety of IT and communications equipment is covered by the IEC 60950-1 while IEC 60065 covers the safety of audio, video and similar electronic apparatus. This new standard IEC 62368-1, covering all of these equipment types, was introduced in 2010 and will replace the IEC 60950-1 and IEC 60065 by 2019. After the 20th of June 2019 equipment manufacturers will no longer be able to claim compliance to the legacy standards. The 3rd edition of the IEC 62368-1 standard is currently under development by TC 108 and due to be released in the 2nd half of 2018, i.e. before the legacy standards are withdrawn.
IEC 62368-1:2014 covers the safety of electronic equipment within the field of audio, video, information and communication technology, and business and office machines. Parts of the standard are also applicable to components and sub-assemblies intended for incorporation in such equipment.
Dermot Flynn, Sales Director of Excelsys Technologies, commented: “Excelsys Technologies is an early adopter of the IEC 62368-1 standard in order to ease system compliance for our customers. Our CoolX product family is approved to both IEC 60950-1 and IEC 62368-1 and so that our customers can meet the existing legislative requirements for their product while also providing a future proofed power solution for our customers for the emerging legislation.”
The IEC 62368-1 approved CoolX600 convection-cooled power supply series is the latest user configurable modular power supply from Excelsys Technologies which delivers an incredible 600W without fan assisted cooling from a very compact 8.5×4.5x1U package.
The only fanless modular power supply on the market, the CoolX600 offers system designers best in class performance for efficiency and reliability in addition to the most comprehensive feature set and specifications available. Typical efficiency is greater than 93% and due to its excellent thermal performance offers typically 25% longer lifetime than competitors. An industry leading 5 year warranty ensures quality, reliability and the lowest total cost of ownership.
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 BF rating (Body Floating), dual fusing, 2x MOPP, <300uA leakage current.
The Excelsys CoolX600 offers system integrators unparalled flexibility with analogue and digital management with PMBus monitoring and control capability and is user field configurable with Plug and Play power. All outputs are isolated and may be connected in series or parallel to achieve higher output voltages or currents. Mounting options include base, side and Din Rail alternatives
Additional features include SEMI F47 compliance, and operation at 5000m altitude. A 25W standby power output, offering effectively another output, for system intelligence, cooling fans, displays etc. is a standard feature.
The CoolX600 can be populated with up to 4 CoolMods, providing up to 4 isolated DC outputs ranging from 2.5-58.0V. Following the tradition of Excelsys, the CoolX600 offers customers the greatest flexibility and is completely user and field configurable. Outputs can be configured to the required set point voltages and connected in parallel of series for higher output current and/or higher output voltages.
Typical applications include medical clinical diagnostic equipment, medical lasers, dialysis equipment, radiological imaging and clinical chemistry. Industrial test and measurement, industrial machines, automation equipment, printing, telecommunications, audio equipment and high reliability harsh industrial electronics, radar, (Naval, Ground Based), communications, test and measurement
Other products in the Excelsys range include the UltiMod and Xgen user configurable modular power supplies suitable of applications including, industrial, medical, laser, communications, IT, wafer fabrication, optical inspection, wire bonding, and automated test equipment.
