Compact 65 Watt external power supply meets Level VI requirements and suits medical and commercial applications

June 15, 2016

XP Power today announced the ALM65 series of external single output 65 Watt AC-DC power supplies. These compact supplies, measuring 1.32 x 4.94 x 2.19 inches, comply with the latest Level VI energy efficiency standard, introduced in February 2016. The new standard stipulates lower limits for the no load input power of a supply to ensure that much less power is consumed when the end-unit is switched off or not connected, and increased active mode average efficiency to reduce waste power when the load is connected.

The units are approved to both the ITE EN/UL 60950-1 and IEC60601 … Read More → "Compact 65 Watt external power supply meets Level VI requirements and suits medical and commercial applications"
