- What parameters can CPFE1000Fi power supplies provide via I2C?
TDK-Lambda’s CPFE1000FI conduction cooled AC-DC power supplies feature an I2C interface as standard. This video explains what can be monitored, including baseplate temperature and status signals. The…
- How to differentiate between power supply standby voltage and off-load power draw
Power supply standby voltage and off-load power draw are two terms that seem similar but are really quite different. Standby Voltage The use of a Standby Voltage…
- What is the operating ambient and baseplate temperature of CPFE1000Fi power supplies?
The CPFE1000FI series of 700 to 1000W power supplies rely on conduction cooling to operate. This video from TDK-Lambda explains that the operating ambient temperature range is…
- DNV GL and how this applies to power supplies
Like UL (Underwriter’s Laboratories), DNV GL’s heritage stems from insurance. DNV and GL were originally formed in 1860s to evaluate the quality of ships. That has since…
- ATEX and how this applies to power supplies
The acronym ATEX, derived from the French phrase “ATmosphere EXplosible”, was initially introduced in the European Union to facilitate the free movement of goods and services of…
- Points to consider when selecting external power supplies for home healthcare applications
With life expectancy rates rising and the associated costs of patient care soaring, medical providers are looking at ways of reducing costs while still maintaining a high…
- Power supply standby voltage and off-load power draw
Standby Voltage The use of a Standby Voltage on computer power supplies became widespread when the ATX specification was published in 1995. It enables a computer to…
