ECP180 AC-DC Power Supplies

XP Power announces the ECP180 series of low-profile, high-efficiency ''green power'' open-frame 180 W AC-DC power supplies. The IT- and medically-approved units have an average active mode efficiency of 93% and a no-load power consumption of less than 0.5 W. With these energy saving credentials the ECP180 produces less heat and assists designers of end-systems to meet current "green" energy efficiency standards. The highly efficient design also enables the units to provide a convection-cooled rating of 120 W, with the full output power of 180 W needing only 10 CFM of forced airflow.

Occupying 46% less footprint than the industry-standard 3 x 5 inch power supply, the ECP180 measures just 2.0 x 4.0 inches and has the lowest profile in its class of only 1.0 inch. With PFC and a universal wide input range of 85 to 264 V_AC, the ECP180 is available in six output voltage models providing the popular nominal outputs of +12, +15, +24, +28, +36 or +48 V_DC. A secondary 12 V_DC/0.5 A fan output is standard across the range.

Meeting the ITE safety specifications of UL/IEC/EN 60950-1 and the latest stringent 3rd edition medical safety standards ANSI/AAMI ES 60601-1 and IEC/EN60601-1, the ECP180 series is suitable for use in a wide range of information technology, industrial, and medical equipment applications. The units also comply with the internationally-recognized EMC standards EN55011 and EN55022 Class B specifications for conducted noise emissions.

The ECP180 accommodates an extended operating temperature range from -20°C to + 70°C, with no derating until +50°C.
