Emerson Network Power has launched a 720 watt power factor correction module that has a 61 x 89 mm footprint and a mounting height of just 14 mm for space-constrained applications. The AIT02ZPFC module features a universal input that accepts any voltage in the range 85 to 264 Vac at any frequency from 47 to 63 Hz and from 360 to 800 Hz. The AIT02ZPFC module presents a near unity power factor to the incoming power line, and generates a typical output of 393 Vdc, which is intended for feeding to one or more high voltage dc-dc converters for further down-conversion to the low voltages required by the application.
The company produces a number of compatible high voltage half-brick and full-brick dc-dc converters, with outputs ranging from 1.8 to 48 Vdc. This modular approach enables users to build low profile ac-dc power supplies with minimal non-recurring engineering costs and fast turnaround.
The AIT02ZPFC module can deliver up to 1.83 A @ 393 Vdc and achieves a power density in excess of 155 watts per cubic inch. The module uses active power factor correction to minimise input harmonic current distortion and ensure compliance with the RTCA/DO-160D avionics standard at 115 Vac at full load, and EN61000-3-2.
The AIT02ZPFC modules are available for delivery, and the standard lead-time for quantity orders is 8 weeks. The pricing in 100-piece quantities is $98 US.
