This particular model, with an output of 15W, is designed to provide a stable and efficient DC output for various industrial and embedded systems. The HWS-A series is designed to meet the growing demands for compact, energy-efficient power solutions in a variety of industrial applications, improving the overall performance and reliability of systems requiring constant power.
Features
- High Efficiency (Up to 91%): Provides up to 91% efficiency, which is a significant improvement over many traditional power supplies. The high efficiency helps reduce operational costs by minimizing energy wastage, leading to lower electricity bills, and consequently, a smaller environmental footprint. This feature is especially crucial for systems running continuously, where power efficiency directly impacts operational costs and the long-term sustainability of the system.
- Wide AC Input Range: The power supply is compatible with a wide AC input range from 85-265Vac, which makes it adaptable to different global power grids. This broad input voltage capability ensures it can be used in various regions worldwide, without the need for additional voltage converters or adjustments. Whether in North America, Europe, or Asia, the unit can handle fluctuations and ensure stable operation regardless of the power source.
- Low Standby Power Consumption: The low power consumption at no load is a significant advantage. At idle or no-load conditions, this power supply consumes minimal power, reducing the overall energy usage when not in active operation. This feature aligns with modern demands for green energy solutions and contributes to lower operational costs, particularly in industries focused on reducing their environmental impact.
- Temperature and Derating Range: Operates efficiently within a wide temperature range of -10°C to +50°C at full load, ensuring that it works in environments with varying temperatures. For more demanding applications or environments with higher temperatures, the power supply can be used in temperatures up to 70°C, with appropriate derating (reducing the power output to prevent overheating and damage). This makes ideal for environments with varying climatic conditions, from factory floors to outdoor installations in challenging environments.
- Active Power Factor Correction (PFC): Active power factor correction (PFC) is a standard feature in the HWS-A series. PFC improves the overall efficiency of the power supply by reducing harmonic distortion in the current waveform. This leads to a cleaner electrical load, which not only improves the efficiency of the power supply but also reduces electrical interference with other equipment. PFC is important for systems that require high-quality power, such as sensitive measurement equipment, broadcast systems, and LED displays.
- Compact Form Factor: Designed with a compact size of 2.05 inches (length) x 3.86 inches (width) x 1.38 inches (height), making it easy to integrate into space-constrained systems. Its chassis mount design allows for easy installation into existing setups, providing users with flexibility for integration into control cabinets, industrial machinery, and other applications where space is limited.
- Enclosed Design for Enhanced Durability: The enclosed design offers protection against dust, moisture, and other environmental factors, increasing its durability and lifespan. This enclosure ensures that the power supply remains protected from harsh industrial environments, contributing to better performance over time, especially in applications that involve physical wear and tear, such as manufacturing plants, process control, and outdoor installations.
- Compliance with Global Safety and EMC Standards: Meets stringent international standards such as UL/CSA/EN 60950-1 and UL508 (with cover), ensuring it adheres to globally recognized safety standards. This compliance is critical for industries where safety is paramount. It also complies with electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) standards like EN55011, EN55022, FCC, and VCCI curve B, which ensures that the power supply does not cause interference with other equipment, making it suitable for use in a wide range of environments, including industrial automation, communications, and broadcasting.
