Flexible 500-W peak-power ac-dc supply targets industrial, Body Floating-rated medical apps

XP Power has announced the launch of the CMP250 series of high peak power AC-DC power supply units, primarily targeting healthcare, industrial and IT applications. Offering a flexible combination of electrical and thermal characteristics, the power supplies deliver up to 500 W of peak power for up to 60 seconds, as well as providing 250 Watts of continuous convection-cooled power. This high level of flexibility makes the series ideal for motor applications and other electromechanical loads without the need for fan cooling across a range of applications.

For medical applications, the CMP250 has an input/output (I/O) isolation of 4 kVAC, provides 2 x MOPP (Means of Patient Protection) I/O isolation and 1 x MOPP isolation from both input to ground and output to ground, all rated at the AC input voltage. Maximum earth leakage current of 250µA coupled with a maximum patient leakage current of 80µA and these isolation characteristics make the CMP250 an ideal choice for Body Floating (BF) applications, targeting a range of equipment such as surgical tools, motorized beds and chairs, use in life support and imaging products. In addition, the series is suited to a variety of industrial and IT applications, especially supporting those applications that have requirements for long-duration peak currents to drive equipment such as printers and other electromechanical loads.
