Extreme Temperature Operation: The RQB150W12 series operates flawlessly in temperatures ranging from -40°C to +90°C, ensuring reliable performance even in extreme weather conditions.
-
Rugged Construction: Featuring a fully encapsulated internal module, the RQB150W12 series is shock-proof, dust-proof, and moisture-proof, making it ideal for demanding railway applications.
Enhanced Features for Optimal Performance
The RQB150W12 series goes beyond its wide voltage input with a plethora of features designed to optimize performance and system integration:
-
Hold-up Time Flexibility: By adding an external capacitor, the hold-up time can be extended to 10~30 ms, ensuring smooth operation even during temporary DC input fluctuations.
-
High Isolation Voltage: With a 3 KV (AC) high isolation withstand voltage, the RQB150W12 series guarantees safety and reliable operation in systems with strict isolation requirements.
-
Comprehensive Protections: The RQB150W12 series offers a suite of protection features, including short-circuit, overload, over-voltage, over-temperature, and input under-voltage protection, safeguarding your system from potential damage.
-
Remote Control and Adjustability: The RQB150W12 series features remote ON/OFF control for convenient system management. Additionally, the output voltage is adjustable by ±10%, providing flexibility for specific application requirements.
Applications Beyond Railways
While ideal for railways, trams, MRTs, buses, and information networks, the RQB150W12 series' versatility extends to various applications:
- Industrial control automation
- Communication equipment
- Double-layer isolation requirements
- DC UPS systems
- Battery voltage conversion or voltage stabilization
Compact Design and Certifications
The RQB150W12 series boasts a compact and low-profile design, measuring just 57.9 x 36.8 x 12.7 mm. This minimizes space requirements within crowded railway cabinets or other space-constrained applications. Furthermore, the RQB150W12 series is backed by a comprehensive set of certifications, ensuring compliance with stringent railway and safety standards:
- Railway: EN50155/EN50121-3-2
- ITE: LVD IEC62368-1, EAC, CE, UKCA
