ESC-120-54

AC/DC converters are used in various electrical and electronic applications such as consumer electronics, industrial machinery, and automotive applications. In particular, AC/DC converters are employed extensively in control systems. The ESC-120-54 AC/DC converter is a classic example of this type of device and is widely used for a wide range of applications.The ESC-120-54 is an AC/DC converter module designed to provide efficient and reliable power conversion from AC to DC power. It converts line voltage (110/220V AC) to 12V DC. It offers a maximum peak current rating of 5V output current (15A), and an output voltage of 12V DC, with a total efficiency of 85%. The input voltage range lies between 100V & 250V AC. The ESC-120-54 AC/DC converter has several features which make it an ideal choice for many applications. It is capable of providing a continuous power rating of 12W at 12V DC output, and its features are designed for reliable operation in harsh industrial and automotive environments. It is designed with a low-voltage drop of 2.5dB, ensuring a stable output voltage, and low EMI (electromagnetic interference) levels. The converter also has a wide operating temperature range of -20C to+85C.The ESC-120-54 AC/DC converter is also equipped with an overload protection circuit, which helps to protect the device from surge currents and to improve the reliability of the system. The converter also has an over voltage protection and short-circuit protection built in, further enhancing the reliability and system robustness.As far as the working principle of the ESC-120-54 AC/DC converter is concerned, it is based upon an AC-to-DC conversion method called the ‘bridge rectifier’. In this method, four diodes connected in a full-wave rectifying configuration are employed in order to perform the conversion process. The process begins when the diodes act as a switch which rapidly turns ‘ON’ and ‘OFF’, allowing the AC waveform to pass through them while limiting the output current and voltage to their demanded levels. The input voltage range for the ESC-120-54 converter is between 100V to 250V AC, and the maximum current output rating is 15A, with an efficiency of 85%. It is observed that the working frequency of the converter is between 50/60Hz which means that this device is suitable for industrial and consumer applications.In conclusion, the ESC-120-54 AC/DC converter is a reliable and efficient device that is widely used for a variety of applications. Its features make it a reliable choice for many applications, providing high efficiency output while keeping the system safe from surge current and over voltage conditions. It is based upon the ‘bridge-rectifier’ method which is capable of providing regulated AC-to-DC conversion processes.
