Summary
The latter types can be integrated into systems where the
output voltage is backed-up by batteries. The float charge
of the battery can be set by a cell voltage selector switch
according to the battery type used. Moreover these units
feature a temperature sensor input to improve the life ex-
pectancy of the battery.
The T series of converters are electrically isolated AC-DC
converters with an output power of up to 550 W. For higher
power requirements several units may be connected in
parallel.
The input of the T units is ideally adapted to the mains: Full
power factor correction, no inrush current, low RFI level and
high transient and surge immunity are key design features.
The T units behave similar to a resistive load.
The rectifier types suit for DC-bus applications at constant
voltage. As the output voltage is SELV, even electrically non
isolated switching regulators such as the Melcher PSR
types may be connected to the T output.
The L-input provides a universal AC-input range from
85...255 V AC. It is the preferred type for 230 V mains,
whereas the U-input range is optimized for 110/120 V
mains. The output delivers an electrically isolated Safety
Extra Low Voltage (SELV) and is short-circuit and no-load
proof. Depending on the type, two output characteristics
are available, intended either for rectifier applications or for
battery charging purposes.
The T 1701 types are especially optimized to build distrib-
uted power systems together with the Melcher CQ-series
DC-DC converters as the signalling capabilities of both
families are matched. Distributed power systems have as
one advantage less power loss over load lines and fewer
regulation problems.
Melcher offers also backplanes for fast and simple set-up of
19" rack systems with T units (see chapter: Back Planes).
