AC DC Converters

AC DC converters are the most common type of power converters used in both commercial and domestic applications. The term AC DC refers to the electrical system that changes alternating current (AC) into direct current (DC). AC DC converters are mainly used in renewable energy, automotive, industrial and aerospace applications.

DNR480TS24-I application field and working principle

The DNR480TS24-I AC/DC converter is a compact and cost-effective power solution that is suitable for a wide range of commercial and industrial applications. The device is designed to convert a single-phase AC input into a DC output in a high-efficiency conversion process.

The converter is suitable for worldwide use and optimized for use with a wide range of power sources, such as solar, battery, and fuel cell systems. It operates at a maximum power efficiency of 95%. Its high-frequency switching is designed to reduce the physical size of the converter. Additionally, the converter can operate over a wide temperature range from -20°C to +70°C and is able to provide a fully regulated output.

The DNR480TS24-I AC/DC converter works by taking an AC input from a power source and converting it into a DC output, while maintaining power efficiency as high as 95%. This is achieved by using a full bridge rectifier, which consists of two MOSFETs and four diodes. The first MOSFET carries the majority of the peak current, while the second carries the remainder. The four diodes form the bridge, where they alternate between conducting the positive and negative current. The output of the bridge rectifier passes through an inductor, which smooths out the output voltage, and then through a capacitor, which further smooths the output. Finally, the output is fed into a DC to DC converter, which is used to regulate the DC output to the desired voltage level.

The DNR480TS24-I AC/DC converter is an ideal solution for a wide range of small to medium power applications, from industrial to commercial applications. With its high-efficiency conversion process and its ability to operate in a wide range of temperature environments, this converter is a reliable and cost-effective power solution.
