5. Power Ratings
CM4 series products must always be operated within stated operating limits. Equipment manufacturers and other users must take the appropriate
de-rating into account when specifying a unit for the intended application. If in doubt, contact TDK-Lambda for assistance.
There are three main de-ratings for the CM4 series of configurable power supplies when used in a conduction cooled application,
1. Ambient air temperature
Ambient air temperature de-ratings apply to the input
module rated and peak power only.
The input module must be de-rated by 2.5% per
degree Celsius above 50°C, up to a maximum of
70°C.
2. Baseplate temperature
Baseplate temperature de-ratings apply to output
module rated power, peak power and rated current,
and bias supply power.
The output module parameters must be de-rated by
2.5% per degree Celsius above 85°C, up to a
maximum of 105°C.
3. Input line voltage
Input line voltage de-ratings apply to the rated power
and peak power for both the input module and output
(3)
module.
All parameters must be de-rated by 2.5% for every 3
volts below 120Vrms, down to a minimum of 85Vrms.
Notes:
1.
Ambient air temperature is the air temperature immediately surrounding the power supply.
2.
Baseplate temperature is measured at baseplate temperature sensing location TS1 (see mechanical drawings for location.
3.
A normalized value of 1 is equivalent to 100%.
4.
Input line voltage de-ratings are cumulative with temperature de-ratings.
