Description
150 W DC-DC and AC-DC Converters
The K Series of DC-DC and AC-DC converters represents a broad and flexible range of power supplies for use in advanced
electronic systems. Features include high efficiency, high reliability, low output voltage noise and excellent dynamic response to
load/line changes. LK models can be powered by DC or AC with a wide-input frequency range (without PFC).
The converter inputs are protected against surges and transients. An input over- and undervoltage lockout circuitry disables the
outputs, if the input voltage is outside of the specified range. Certain types include an inrush current limiter preventing circuit
breakers and fuses from tripping at switch-on.
All outputs are open- and short-circuit proof, and are protected against overvoltages by means of built-in suppressor diodes. The
output can be inhibited by a logic signal applied to pin 18 (i). The inhibit function is not used, pin 18 must be connected with pin
14 to enable the outputs.
LED indicators display the status of the converter and allow for visual monitoring of the system at any time.
Full input-to-output, input-to-case, output-to-case, and output to output isolation is provided. The converters are designed, built,
and safety-approved to the international safety standards IEC/EN 60950-1. They are particulary suitable for railway applications
and comply with EN 50155 and EN 50121-3-2.
The case design allows operation at nominal load up to 71 °C with natural cooling. If forced cooling is provided, the ambient
temperature may exceed 71 °C, but the case temperature must remain below 95 °C.
A temperature sensor generates an inhibit signal, which disables the outputs when the case temperature
T
C
exceeds the limit. The
outputs are automatically re-enabled, when the temperature drops below the limit.
Various options are available to adapt the converters to individual applications.
The converters may either be plugged into a 19 ” DIN-rack system according to IEC 60297-3, or be chassis mounted.
Important:
For applications requiring compliance with IEC/EN 61000-3-2 (harmonic distortion), please use our LK4000 or LK5000
Series with incorporated power factor correction (PFC).

Non-standard input/output configurations or special customer adaptations are available on request.

K Series
150 W DC-DC and AC-DC Converters
Functional Description
The input voltage is fed via an input fuse, an input filter, a bridge rectifier (LK models only), and an inrush current limiter to the
input capacitor. This capacitor sources a single-transistor forward converter with a special clamping circuit and provides also the
power during the hold-up time.
Each output is powered by a separate secondary winding of the main transformer. The resultant voltages are rectified and their
ripple smoothed by a power choke and an output filter. The control logic senses the main output voltage
V
o1
and generates, with
respect to the maximum admissible output currents, the control signal for the switching transistor of the forward converter.
The second output of double-output models is tracking the main output, but has its own current limiting circuit. If the main output
voltage drops due to current limitation, the second output voltage will fall as well and vice versa.
Standard models with a single 5.1 V output have a synchronous rectifier to provide good efficiency.
