Power Supply Series Meets Latest Energy Standards

XP Power announced the launch of the highly efficient single output AFM series of 48 and 60 Watt external AC-DC power supplies designed for a wide range of medical equipment. The ranges offer output voltages of 12, 15, 18, and 24 VDC. Offering a typical efficiency of up to 88%, these highly efficient units meet the latest stringent energy efficiency standards, such as Energy Star Level V, EISA2007, and CEC2008 in the United States, and the ErP Directive for Europe. These standards define the average energy efficiency and the maximum no load power consumption. The AFM45 has a no load power consumption of less than 0.3 W, and the AFM60 less than 0.5 W.

In addition, the AFM series complies with the internationally recognized safety approval standards for IT and commercial equipment IEC60950-1/UL60950-1/EN60950-1. They also comply with the IEC60601-1/UL60601-1/EN60601-1 medical safety standards.

The units offer multiple input cable interface options allowing designers to specify either IEC320-C14, -C6, or -C8 connectors. The -C8 option provides a Class II grounding method. An optional cable restraining clip is also available.
