DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
Input Source Impedance
The power module should be connected to a low
ac-impedance input source. Highly inductive source
impedance can affect the stability of the module. The
input capacitor Cin should be placed close to the module
input pins and in equal from the two input pins of the
module. To filter ripple current and ensure module
stability in the presence of inductive source impedance,
Cin is recommended to be 150µF minimum and with an
adequate RMS Current Rating to sustain ripple voltage
of 50mV RMS at 1MHz.
When using multiple modules in parallel, a small
inductor (0.2 – 0.5µH) is recommended at the input of
each module to prevent interaction between modules.
Consult Delta for more technical support.
Safety Considerations
For safety-agency approval the power module must be
installed in compliance with the spacing and separation
requirements of the end-use safety agency standards.
For the converter output to be considered meeting the
requirements of safety extra-low voltage (SELV), the
input must meet SELV requirements. The power module
has extra-low voltage (ELV) outputs when all inputs are
ELV.
The input to these units is to be provided with a
maximum of 30A fast-acting fuse in the ungrounded
lead.
