Need 200w open frame power supply

Feb 15, 2007 5 Replies

Greetings,



I am modifying a piece of gear to put out more power and need to get hold of a 24vdc open frame power supply. The present design has a



100w power supply, but I am hoping newer designs can double the power in a similar footprint. I never bought an off the shelf design before, alway did them myself. So I have no idea what manufacturers would be good to look at. I see a company called astrodyne in MA. Any other companies I should look at?

The present power supply is the VLT100 in the link below.

PowerOne and Condor come to mind. Nothing is perfect in the world of switchers but I had mostly positive experiences with them.

I've always had excellent luck with Lambda:

NOT wicor - unless the kit is in a location that you like to travel to often!

TOKO does some cheap & nasty open frame supplies - if they have to be cheap and noise is not so important.

I have had good results with following:

Tamura of America (was Taiyo Yuden) Power One

In my experience, following seem to produce units having reliability problems and/or tend to not meet their published specs:

Vicor Astec Phihong Mean Well

Those are the brands that Microdyne was using when I left.

We had problems with all of them. Some never made it through the first test in engineering.
