NEWS! Recom offers DC/DC Converters Reinforced offering up to 10kVDC isolation

NOVITA’! RECOM PROPONE DC/DC CONVERTERS RINFORZATI CHE ARRIVANO FINO A 10KVDC DI ISOLAMENTO

Larcet srl, distributor of RECOM POWER SOLUTIONS in Italy, is pleased to inform you that Recom DC/DC Converters have been Reinforced offering  up to 10kVDC isolation.

DC/DC converters typically offer galvanic input to output isolation. Depending on the converter, the isolation voltage can be as low as 1kVDC or as high as 10kVDC. The isolation rating is functional isolation. However, UL defines three classes of isolation quality: functional, basic and reinforced. Sophisticated applications in medical or power electronics often require “reinforced” isolation for isolation strengths higher than 6kVDC.

RECOM has developed a patent pending transformer and driver system that meets all of the requirements for reinforced isolation but also with higher efficiency. Thus the converters can deliver 20% more power with the same efficiency as their functional isolation-only equivalents. Thus the REC3.5-R8/R10 offers 3.5W of power with either 8kVDC or 10kVDC of reinforced isolation and the REC6-R8/R10 offers 6W of power with either 8kVDC or 10kVDC of reinforced isolation. All converters are UL and CSA certified for both industrial and medical applications.
