Description
RSD-500 series is a 500W enclosed type reliable railway DC-DC converter. This
series is compliant with BS EN/EN50155/BS EN/EN45545-2 railway standard,
constituting three types of models with 2:1 wide but different input ranges
16.8~33.6V/33.6~67.2V/67.2~154V, suitable for railway and all kinds of
transportation systems exploiting the frequently used standard input voltages
such as 24V, 36V, 48V,72V, 96V and 110V. Various output voltages, 12V, 24V and
48V are available for selection.
This series has the capability of working under -40~+80°C, low ripple and
noise, supreme MC characteristics,4KVdc I/O isolation, low enclosure profile
41mm and an interior with semi-potted silicone. It does not only well fits the
in-car systems or the facilities by rails for railway, trams and buses but
also can be used in the harsh environment with high vibration, high dust,
extremely low or high temperature, etc.
Model Encodina
SPECIFICATION
Block Diagram
Input Fuse
There are two or three fuses connected in series to the positive input line,
which are used to protect against abnormal surge. Fuse specifications of each
model are shown as below.
Input Reverse Polarity Protection
There is a MOSFET connected in series to the negative input line. If the input
polarity is connected reversely, the MOSFET opens and there will be no output
to protect the unit.
Input Range and Transient Ability
The series has a wide range input capability. Within #30% of rated input
voltage, it can be executed at full-load operation and operate properly; with
‡40% of rated input voltage, it can withstand that for 1 second.
Input Under-Voltage Protection
If input voltage drops below Vimin, the internal control IC shuts down and
there is no output voltage. It recovers automatically when input voltage
reaches above Vimin, please refer to the cruve below.
Inrush Current
Inrush current is suppressed by a resistor during the initial start-up, and
then the resistor is bypassed by a Relay to reduce power consumption after
accomplishing the start-up.
Hold-up Time
- EN50155:2017 version- D type is in compliance with S2 level (10ms), while B and C types are in compliance with S1 level (3ms) at full load output condition.
To fulfil the requirements of S2 level (10ms), B and C types require de-rating their output load to 70%, please refer to the curve diagrams below.
Efficiency vs Load & Vin Curve
The efficiency vs load & Vin curves of each model are shown as below.
Overload Protection
If the output draw up to 105~135% of its output power rating, the converter will go into overload protection which is constant current mode. After the faulty condition is removed, it will recover automatically. Please refer to the diagram below for the detail operation characteristic. Please note that it’s not suitable to operate within the overload region continuously, or it may cause to over temperature and reduce the life of the power supply unit or even damage it.
Over Voltage Protection
The converter shuts off to protect itself when the output voltage drawn
exceeds 115~140% of its output rating. It must be repowered on to recover.
Over Temperature Protection
The converter shuts off to protect itself when the built-in temperature sensor
mounted on the main power transformer senses a high temperature.
It must be repowered on to recover.
LED Indicator
Equipped with a built-in LED indicator, the converter provides an easy way for
users to check its condition through the LED indicator.
- Green: normal operation;
- No signal: no power or failure.
Derating Curve
-
Single unit operation
If the unit has no iron plate mounted on its bottom, the maximum ambient temperature for the unit will be 55°C as operating under full load condition.
It requires de-rating output current when ambient temperature is between 55 – 80°C, please refer to the de-rating curve as below.
Suitable installation methods are shown as below. Since RSD-500 is a semi- potted model, its thermal performances for the following installation methods are similar and share the same derating curve. -
Operate with additional iron plate
If it is necessary to fulfil the requirements of EN50155 TX level that operate the unit fully loaded at 70°C, RSD-500 series must be installed onto an iron plate on the bottom. The size of the suggested iron plate is shown as below. In order for optimal thermal performance, the iron plate must have an even & smooth surface and RSD-500 series must be firmly mounted at the center of the iron plate.
The load vs ambient temperature curve is shown as below.
Suitable installation methods are shown as below. Since RSD-500 is a semi- potted model, its thermal performances for the following installation methods are similar and share the same derating curve.
