85 – 250 Watt medical and IT external power supplies reach 92% efficiency

April 6, 2011

April 2011, XP Power announced today the launch of their AHM series of highly efficient external AC-DC power supplies aimed at a broad range of medical and IT applications. The series comprises 5 single-output ranges of 85, 100, 150, 180 or 250 Watt output, and provides the popular nominal outputs from +12 to + 48 VDC. All units are convection cooled removing the need for any internal forced air flow. Not only does this make the units more reliable, but maintains their quiet operation. This being especially important for healthcare equipment sited close to a patient.

These Energy Efficiency Level V rated units are highly efficient, … Read More → "85 – 250 Watt medical and IT external power supplies reach 92% efficiency"
