Test configurations
Input Reflected Ripple Current Test Setup (figure 7)
Output Ripple and Noise Test Setup (figure 8)
Note: Scope measurements should be made using a BNC socket
with a 1µF ceramic capacitor and a 10µF tantalum capacitor.
Position the oscilloscope probe between 51mm and 76mm
(2in and 3in) from the module
Note: Measure input reflected ripple current with a simulated
source inductance of 12µH. The measurement points for input
reflected ripple current is showed above.
Design considerations
Input filtering
The power module should be connected to a low acimpedance input source. Highly inductive source impedances can affect the stability of the
power module. For the test configuration in Figure7 a 470µF electrolytic capacitor and a 1µF ceramic capacitor, mounted close to the power
module helps ensure stability of the unit.
Safety considerations
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. UL60950-1, CAN/CSA-C22.2, No. 60950-1 and
EN60950-1:2001(+A11)andIEC60950-1:2005,ifthesysteminwhichthe
power module is to be used must meet safety agency requirements.
If the input source is non-SELV (ELV or hazardous voltage greater than
60Vdc and less than or equal to 75Vdc), for the module’s output to be
considered as meeting the requirements for safety extra-low voltage
(SELV), all of the following must be true.
1. The input source is to be provided with reinforced insulation from
any other hazardous voltage, including the AC mains.
2. One VIN pin and one VOUT pin are to be grounded, orboth the input
and output pins are to be kept floating.
These converters have been evaluated to the spacing requirements
for Basic Insulation, per the above safety standards.
3. The input pins of the module are not operatoraccessible.
4. Another SELV reliability test is conducted on the whole system as
required by the safety agencies, to verify that under a single fault,
hazardous voltages do not appear at the module’s output.
For all input voltages, other than DC mains, where the input volta-
ge is less than 60Vdc, if the input meets all of the requirements for
SELV, the output is considered to remain with SELV limits. Signal
component failure and fault tests were performed in the power
converters.
All flammable materials used in the manufacturing of these modules
are rated 94V-0.
To preserve maximum flexibility, internal fusing is not included,
however, to achieve maximum safety and system protection, always
use an input line fuse. The safety agencies require a time delay fuse
with a maximum rating of 30A. Based on the information provided in
this data sheet on inrush energy and maximum dc input current, the
same type of fuse with a lower rating can be used. Refer to the fuse
manufacturer’s data sheet for further information.
