Emerson Network Power, recently announced a new 1500 watt AC-DC power supply that provides full power across the input range 90 to 264 Vac.

The LCM1500 Q-T-4 model is the latest in Emerson's LCM series of AC-DC power supplies. The model is rated for 24 volt single output, which can be trimmed to 10 per cent. A digital control loop optimizes efficiency across a wide load range, giving the new model efficiency greater than 91 per cent at full load. It also offers a 5 V standby voltage to enable OEM standby functions when the equipment in nominally off.

Emerson's LCM 1500 Q-T-4 has received a number of industrial and medical safety approvals. Its industrial applications include burn-in systems, test and measurement equipment and factory automation. It can also be used for non-patient contact and non-patient critical, dental and laboratory applications.

Variable-speed 'Smart Speed' fans draw on software controls developed by Emerson Network Power to match fan speed to the unit's cooling requirement and load current. Slowing the fan saves power and reduces wear.

The mean time between failure of the LCM1500 is greater than 500,000 hours.
