Medical and industrial power conversion platforms with leading power density

Advanced Energy Industries, Inc has introduced two new ranges of AC/DC power supplies with industry-leading power densities for critical medical and industrial equipment. The SL Power NGB800 800W and NGB1200 1200W families are optimised to meet the performance, power, size, reliability, and compliance demands of medical and industrial applications.

The power supplies provide compact form factors and typical efficiencies above 90%. With full medical and industrial safety and EMC approvals, they comply with IEC 60601-1-2 4th edition, covering medical equipment and applications operating in heavy industrial areas.

“Medical and industrial OEMs want to reduce the size, improve the performance and extend the operating life of their equipment while minimising time-to-market,” said Conor Duffy, vice president of marketing, medical power products at Advanced Energy. “With their high efficiencies, small form factors, compliance with all relevant standards and long operating lives, the NGB family of power supplies enable equipment designers to address these challenging requirements. Deep engineering and integration support from Advanced Energy’s technical teams further speed development cycles.”

Created to satisfy the lifetime reliability demands of equipment ranging from medical imaging and patient monitoring to industrial automation, the families provide an MTBF above 500,000 hours and offer a three-year warranty. The specification of high-quality electrolytic capacitors further supports long-term reliability with operating lives over seven years.

These new power supplies can accommodate a wide 85-264VAC input range and offer output voltages from 12VDC to 48VDC. Power supplies in the NGB800 family are convection cooled, whilst the NGB1200 units provide an integrated, ultra-reliable, low-noise fan.
