6000W Power Converter Rugged Design for Critical Railway Applications
Schaefer Inc. has introduced the C/B5600 Series of 6000 Watt DC/DC converter, AC/DC power supply and battery charging products. The design has industrial grade components, provides an efficient, space-saving solution for extreme environments in industries such as transportation and railway controls and communications equipment (onboard and trackside), sub-station applications for DC Switches, CBTC, and emergency lighting.
The C/B5600 Series offers a substantial lineup with over 150 standard models, with requests for modifications also available. Five standard DC input voltage options span a range from 80-800VDC. AC input models offer 1-Phase or 3-Phase as well as battery charging models. Single output voltages encompass a range from 5-400VDC. All outputs are adjustable and fully regulated to 0.2% or better (load) and 0.1% (line).
The C/B5600 Series DC/DC and AC/DC models have remote sense capability and features comprehensive protection circuitry and efficiencies are up to 95%. –20C to +75C operating temperature range, with –40C to +75C as an option.
The units are packaged in a space saving 6U or 9U rack module or a wall mount module. Options include parallel / redundant operation, further mechanical ruggedization, inhibit, Power-OK / DC-OK alarms, system reset signaling, and programming/monitoring functions.
