AC-DC Power for Industrial use Meets Energy Efficiency Levels VI and Tier2

June 14, 2018 by Paul Shepard

Bicker Elektronik presents the new BET-0900-T, a highly-efficient and very robust external ac-dc power supply unit for industrial use with an output of 90W. The BET-0900-T meets the stringent requirements of the US Department of Energy (DoE) for energy efficiency level VI, as well as the current European energy efficiency standard EU-CoC-Tier2. This applies in particular to the power consumption in standby mode, which is less than 0.15W and the typical efficiency of 90%.

The external ac-dc power supply with wide-range input of 90- to 264-Vac, active PFC and high reliability (MTBF >869,000 hours), which is ensured by the exclusive configuration with +105°C premium electrolytic capacitors and a robust circuit design. Thus, the BET-0900-T is suited for 24/7 continuous operation in the wide operating temperature range of -20°C to + 60°C.

Three models are available with accurately regulated dc output voltages of +12V, +19V or +24V. For additional reliability, the BET-0900-T has short circuit and overload protection with auto-restart, as well as over-voltage and over-temperature protection. The isolation voltage between input/output is 4242Vdc. The protective conductor PE (primary) is connected to -Vout (secondary).

No base load is required at the output so that the latest generation Intel® Core™mainboards with special power saving modes can be supplied safely. In addition to the current energy efficiency standards, the BET-0900-T has the EN/UL60950-1 safety approvals.

The standard built-in dc hollow connector on the power supply output can be customized for specfic applications by special connectors, such as locking dc plugs. Optional accessories are available from Bicker Elektronik: The Cling Pad KP-01 for quick and easy mounting of the external ac-dc power supply on smooth surfaces, a practical adapter PSZ-1008 (dc jack to screw terminals), the three-pin power cable Y1-132 with IEC-60320-C13 and the dc extension cable CB-TRG-EXT.
