PF1500B-360 AC/DC Power Factor Correction Modules

TDK-Lambda’s PF1500B-360 full-brick power module is rated at 1512 W with an input of 170 V to 265 V or 1008 W from 85 V to 265 V. The module delivers a non-isolated, regulated 360 V_DC output with a 0.98 power factor. The PF1500B-360 is ideally suited for high-voltage power systems using isolated DC/DC converters in a distributed power architecture configuration or for loads requiring a high-voltage source. Other applications include LED lighting, semiconductor fabrication, and custom power supplies using power module-based solutions.

The PF1500B-360 is packaged in the industry standard full-brick footprint, measuring 116.8 mm in length, 61 mm wide, and 12.7 mm high (4.6" x 2.4" x 0.5"), enabling low-profile designs. The module can operate reliably with baseplate temperatures of +100°C and ambient temperatures of -40°C to +85°C due to efficiencies of up to 96.5%.

Standard features include a 10 V to 16 V 10 mA auxiliary voltage, remote on/off, inverter good, and a signal indicating the output voltage is more than 350 V to enable isolated DC/DC converters to begin operating. Up to three modules may be connected in parallel with current sharing to provide additional power.

The input and output to ground isolation is 2,500 V_AC. Safety certification is to the IEC/EN/CSA/UL 62368-1 standard and has CE/UKCA marks to the Low Voltage and RoHS Directives. With external circuitry, the PF1500B-360 will meet radiated and conducted emissions and comply with the IEC 61000-4 immunity standards.
