FCS Series – Low-cost, Open-Frame 40W & 60W Power Supplies

Helios Power Solutions has launched two new series of low-profile, open-frame power supplies addressing the need for ultra low-cost 40W and 60W solutions that support a broad range of applications within the medical, domestic/household and ITE/industrial sectors. Most markets are under price pressure these days; the new FCS40 and FCS60 address this need by combining low unit cost with easy integration into multiple end equipment markets with international agency approvals, high efficiency and low emissions. This is further supported by the wide operating temperature (-25°C to +70°C) that allows use in a wide variety of environments. The new FCS40 & 60 supplies offer a single output of either 12, 15, 18, 24, 36 or 48V at efficiencies up to 86%, model dependant. An on-board potentiometer allows the voltage to be trimmed by ±10%, optimising the voltage for specific load requirements or voltage drops. Both the FCS40 and FCS60 carry extensive approvals that ease the task of the designer in obtaining system-level approval for their designs. For medical applications these include IEC/EN/ES60601 offering 2 x Means of Patient Protection (MOPP). The units also include two line input fuses and offer Class II operation, furthering their suitability for medical applications in the home healthcare environment. For ITE & industrial applications the supplies are approved to IEC60950-1 and IEC/EN/cUL62368-1 as well as meeting the needs of the Low Voltage Directive (LVD). IEC60335-1 approval makes the FCS40 and FCS60 applicable to domestic & household applications. As part of XP Power’s ‘Green Power’ range, all of the new supplies minimise the no load power consumption to less than 0.3W, facilitating compliance with the latest environmental legislation. The ability to be convection cooled up to +70°C with de-rating removes the need for a fan from many systems, saving energy, cost and weight as well as improving system reliability.

Air Insulation While not suitable for ultra-miniaturized modules operating in severe environmental conditions, air insulation offers a lightweight repairable structure that minimizes parasitic capacitance losses for most applications.Glassman XP Power has developed HV structures that incorporate equipotential grading and electrostatic shielding of sensitive components so that we achieve excellent stability and accuracy. All HV assemblies are based on the well-known Cockcroft-Walton voltage multiplier concept, (or variations, thereof), to achieve high DC outputs while minimizing peak transformer secondary voltages. The use of air allows for forced cooling of HV components when required. Forced air cooling allows us to incorporate an increased value of series protection resistance (where practical), which minimizes peak discharge currents when an arc or overload occurs. (NOTE: Some models or applications require external series protection resistance.) This not only protects the HV components and the customer’s load, but also reduces the discharge energy that occurs during an arc and minimizes the electromagnetic interference (EMI) pulse that can damage or disrupt sensitive controls and microcontrollers. All these techniques improve the reliability of the entire high voltage assembly, as well as the control and power elements of the complete power supply structure. Above 150kV our designs utilize an open-air “stack” that eliminates the HV connector and cable that would be massive at these voltages. Toroidal terminals and equipotential surfaces are used to minimize the electrostatic fields. For units of 150kV and below, we mount the HV assembly in a proprietary HV insulated enclosure whose walls can withstand the full voltage. This enclosure is made of fire retardant materials and is designed to provide a uniform surface gradient to minimize corona. This, in turn, is mounted in a grounded chassis. PWM XP Glassman HV supplies utilize our proprietary PWM converter technology for the main power conversion. Typically, the AC mains line voltage is rectified and filtered into the DC rails directly off the line with no transformers. In many cases, a power factor correction boost converter is employed to provide a regulated 400VDC rail bus. This provides a power factor very close to unity, which virtually eliminates line harmonic currents, and reduces the VA drawn from the mains. The DC rail voltage is applied to the converter and coupled to the HV assembly via the HV transformers which provide line to ground isolation. The converter drive signals are coupled to the converter switching devices by isolation transformers which also provide line to ground isolation. Most of XP Glassman HV supplies use a converter that runs at switching frequencies between 30kHz and 70kHz and employs either FETs or IGBTs as the switching elements. Conversion efficiency is greater than 90%. The converter topology is well suited to drive large ratio step up transformers as it uses the energy stored in the stray and interwinding transformer capacitance to switch the secondary voltage rather than dissipate it in snubber or switching losses. Control Circuits All XP Glassman supplies employ fast acting voltage and current feedback loop control with automatic crossover. In addition, techniques are used to ensure safe, well-controlled ramp up of voltage from any condition, including recovery from an arc, overload, or short circuit. This prevents dangerous voltage overshoot under any recovery condition. All XP Glassman supplies employ redundant under voltage sensing so that the power supply is fully protected against any input line voltage perturbations all the way down to zero. This ensures safe operation during brownouts or large line dropouts. Bias rail voltages are all derived from a single source so that the rise and decay of the bias voltages during turn on and off remain in the same relationship as for normal running. This eliminates any possibility of the feedback operational amplifiers losing
