Feature Packed Pure Sine Inverter with Battery Charger and UPS - Unlimited Parallel Capability

Tuesday, October 23rd, 2007

The Rex Series are sine wave inverters of power ratings of 1500W or 3000W. They’re suitable for use in industrial, residential, shore, generator or other backup power applications.

The REX Series’ compact operates as either an inverter or a four stage adaptive battery charger. The inverters also include a UPS function. Unique, intelligent Power Control and Power Assist features address the concerns of limited power sources or boost the capacity of shore or generator power.


Desktop Switcher Boasts 150W of Power in a Compact Package

Friday, October 19th, 2007

The PUP150 Series boasts 150W of power in a compact 6.73″ x 2.85″ x 1.57″ package, has a power factor corrected, 90-264VAC input, and offers fully regulated, single output models ranging from 12VDC to 24VDC. It’s efficiency is 88% minimum which allows the unit to operate without a cooling fan, ensuring quiet operation and high reliability. The operating temperature is 0C to +40C. The units boast 5% total regulation and no minimum load is required

Units are RoHS compliant, and are approved to worldwide 60950 safety standards and Class B radiated and conducted EMI performance.


Battery Chargers - AC Adaptors - Switching Power Supply

Tuesday, October 16th, 2007

If you need high qualified charges and switching power supply for electric vehicles, golf scooters and medical machines, it’s highly recommended to use EV and DC series batteries. Lifespan of these batteries are expressed in cycles and deep cycle series type, besides AMG type, GEL type that above 24AH is also available with much better cyclic performance.

AGM deep cycle batteries are recommended to be used for solar energy application. GEL deep cycle batteries are to be used for solar energy application. EV series batteries should be used for light electric vehicles, battery driven golf caddies and wheelchairs etc.. Lifespan of these batteries are expressed in cycles and deep cycle series type, besides AMG type, GEL type that above 24AH is also available with much better cyclic performance.


Compact 300W Medical Grade Power Supplies

Friday, October 12th, 2007

Protek Electronics’ PM300 Series of 300W is medical and low-profile AC/DC switching power supplies offering a compact, performance packed design with full compliance to worldwide EN60101-1 medical safety standards.
The PM300 Series has a universal 85-264VAC input and is available in 21 models with single and quad outputs. They range from 3.3VDC to 48VDC.

An option is an integral cover and fan assembly that allows for a full 300W of power from 0-50C, with derated output power up to 70C. A U-channel version is also available. It’s capable of 200W of convection cooled power or 300W with 25CFM of moving air.

New Inductance Filter In Switching Power Supply

Friday, October 5th, 2007

The inductance of the new filter: 80μH, output DC current: 200A and volume : 132×171×30mm.

This new design method comes from a novel concept. Once high frequency ferrite magnetic core adopted, the results were as follows:

N Aw Ae
2 2.5 160 cm²
5 6.25 64 cm²
10 12.5 32 cm²
12 15 26.667 cm²
20 25 16 cm²
According to this data, while designing the inductance filter L., the below result can be get:

N=2 Volume:3489.3 cm³
N=5 Volume:1840.2 cm³
N=10 Volume:1626.3 cm³
N=12 Volume:1666.6 cm³
N=20 Volume:2024.4 cm³
Choosing N=5 where the instance that the loop circle count and volume is less, we get the volume and dimension of the inductance filter L(200A 80uH,working frequency > 80KHz). Its gas gap of magnetism way is 2×1.25mm,and the volume is 1840.2 cm³.
