LDA100W-18-S

AC/DC converters are devices that convert alternating current (AC) into direct current (DC). The LDA100W-18-S converter is a switch mode power supply (SMPS) that utilizes pulse-width modulation (PWM) for providing a DC output voltage. It is Energy Star-approved, and offers a no-load power consumption of less than 0.5 watts. This particular model has a wide input voltage range (100V-240V) and can easily handle any type of input, including single-phase AC and three-phase AC.

The LDA100W-18-S converter has an input and output current range of 0.3 to 18A, and can deliver up to 200W of power. It also offers a high efficiency of up to 86%, which makes it ideal for many applications including industrial and commercial uses. It also has a high power factor of up to 0.95, which makes it particularly suitable for power grid applications.

The converter works by using an oscillator circuit that produces a square wave voltage that is sent to the primaryside MOSFETs or transistors driving the main switching transformer. This switching frequency is regulated according to the desired output voltage. During the switching, the power is stored in the energy-storage inductor. The DC output voltage is then regulated by the converter\'s rectifier circuitry, which is responsible for supplying a constant DC output.

The LDA100W-18-S converter also features an overtemperature protection by means of a thermistor connected to the primary side of the transformer. It is also equipped with a soft-start feature that helps prevent overloading of the incoming electricity. Additionally, the manufacturer also includes several safety features such as short-circuit protection and over-current protection.

The LDA100W-18-S converter is suitable for a wide range of applications, including powering electronics, IT infrastructure, and motor drives. It is also highly efficient and cost effective, making it the go-to solution for many applications that require reliable and efficient power conversion technology.
