Safety Consideration
For safety-agency approval of the system in
which the power module is used, the power
module must be installed in compliance with
the spacing and separation requirements of the
end-use safety agency standard, i.e., UL1950,
CSA C22.2 No. 950-95, and EN60950. The
AVO75 series input-to-output isolation is a
basic insulation. The DC/DC power module
should be installed in end-use equipment, in
compliance with the requirements of the
ultimate application, and is intended to be
supplied by an isolated secondary circuit.
When the supply to the DC/DC power module
meets all the requirements for SELV(<60Vdc),
the output is considered to remain within SELV
limits (level 3). If connected to a 60Vdc power
system, double or reinforced insulation must be
provided in the power supply that isolates the
input from any hazardous voltages, including
the AC mains. One input pin and one output pin
are to be grounded or both the input and output
pins are to be kept floating. Single fault testing
in the power supply must be performed in
combination with the DC/DC power module to
demonstrate that the output meets the
requirement for SELV. The input pins of the
module are not operator accessible.
Note: Do not ground either of the input pins of
the module, without grounding one of the
output pins. This may allow a non-SELV
voltage to appear between the output pin and
ground.
Note:
To comply with the published safety standards,
the following must be observed when using this
built-in converter.
1. The built-in converter is intended for use as
a component part of other equipment. When
installing the power supply and marking input
and output connections, the relevant safety
standards e.g. UL 60950-1; IEC 60950-1/VDE
0805; EN60950-1; CAN/CSA-22.2NO.
60950-1-03 must be complied with, especially
the requirements for creepage distances,
clearances and distance through insulation
between primary and earth or primary and
secondary.
2. The output power taken from the built-in
converter must not exceed the rating given on
the built-in converter.
3. The built-in converter is not intended to be
repaired by service personnel in case of failure
or component defect (unit can be thrown
away).
4. The maximum ambient temperature around
the converter must not exceed 55°C.
5. An external forced air cooling (CFM: 80.2,
Speed: 1m/s, distance from unit: 20cm) shall
be used for unit operate with full load and
ambient up to 55°C.
6. The built-in converter has no in-line fuse. For
safety purpose, a fast acting UL listed fuse or
UL recognized fuse rated 5A/250V needs to be
connected to the input side as external
protection.
Thermal Consideration
Thermal management is an important part of
the system design. AVO75 series modules
have ultra high efficiency at full load, and the
module exhibit good performance during
pro-longed exposure to high temperatures.
However, to ensure proper and reliable
operation, sufficient cooling of the power
module and power derating is needed over the
entire temperature range of the module.
Considerations includes ambient temperature,
airflow and module power derating.
