New Advanced Energy Compact Power Factor Correction Module Enables Greater Power Efficiency for Wide Range of High-Voltage Applications
Next-generation module optimizes utilization of electrical power for medical devices, unmanned aerial and terranean vehicles and a wide range of industrial applications
DENVER, COLORADO - Media
OutReach - 25 March 2021 - Advanced Energy Industries, Inc.
(Nasdaq: AEIS) – a global leader in highly engineered,
precision power conversion, measurement and control solutions – today announced the
launch of the Artesyn AIF06ZPFC series, a power factor correction (PFC) module that packs greater
efficiency and density into a compact brick, the size of a smartphone. The
AIF06ZPFC module is ideal for a wide range of high-voltage applications including
medical devices, unmanned aerial and terranean vehicles, and industrial applications
where extreme heat and cold are a significant factor.
"As a global leader in the design and manufacture
of highly reliable power conversion solutions, we continuously strive to stay
ahead of the innovation curve to meet the needs of our customers—often before
they know what they need," said Andy Brown,
director of technical marketing, DC-DC, Advanced Energy. "The AIF06ZPFC series provides even better performance than
our previous generation module, with greater efficiency and more functionality,
including digital control and
internal inrush limiting. This all combines to make the AIF06ZPFC easier to
integrate and use, and we are already seeing some really interesting
applications for this compact PFC brick."
The AIF06ZPFC allows customers to pack more power into
an application without having to increase the size of the module. Rated at 2400
watts, the module has a high conversion efficiency of 97.3 percent and provides
a nominal non-isolated output voltage of 400 Vdc. This module series can be
used as a standalone power supply in a diverse set of applications such as
dental X-ray equipment, insulation tests, process control and automation and
high-voltage motors and pumps. It is also ideal for applications such as
tethered drones, where a high DC voltage source at low current is needed for
power transmission over longer distances.
The AIF06ZPFC offers extensive
monitoring, protection and adjustment capabilities, enabling applications to meet
next-generation digital requirements. The built-in Power Management Bus
(PMBus®) interface provides a full suite of commands and controls. The
interface enables digital communication with other connected factory software
and applications to deliver on the promise of Industry 4.0. The module also features a built-in, market-leading and patented inrush
limit control function, which significantly simplifies application design for
engineers by eliminating the standard industry requirement to provide this
function with external equipment.
