MBC180-1015L

AC-DC converters, or rectifiers, are an essential component in the delivery of power from AC sources to DC loads. Most modern rectifiers employ semiconductor components, and are generally made up of a bridge rectifier, power switch, energy storage unit, and a control circuit. The MBC 180-1015L is a 10A, 15V AC-DC power module converter designed for a variety of commercial and industrial power applications. This article will explain the application field and working principle of the MBC 180-1015L.

Application Field and Specifications

The MBC 180-1015L is a non-isolated DC-DC module converter, designed for industrial and consumer grade electronics. It is typically used in commercial-grade LED lighting, industrial automation systems, machine-to-machine (M2M) and Internet of Things (IoT) applications, and mains-to-sub-mains rectification. The module has a wide range of input voltages from 85-265V, an output voltage of 15V and a maximum output current of 10A. It is able to regulate, rectify, filter, and control the input voltage, providing a stable and efficient output.

Features and Benefits

The MBC 180-1015L offers a wide range of features and benefits. It is designed to reduce the size, weight, and cost of the overall system, making it preferable for applications where space and power need to be kept to a minimum. This makes it suitable for use in commercial-grade and industrial electronics, as well as consumer products. It also has a low input ripple, reducing electrical noise, and a high efficiency of between 90 and 93%, depending on the load. In addition, it has an embedded control circuit, which provides overload protection and over-temperature protection. This makes it more reliable and durable than competing products.

Working Principle

The MBC 180-1015L utilizes four stages of power conversion to convert the AC input voltage to a steady DC voltage. First, the AC voltage is rectified, creating a pulsed DC voltage. This pulsed DC voltage is then smoothed into a sinusoidal waveform through the use of an inductor and capacitance filter stage. This filtered voltage is then converted to a stable DC voltage through the use of a buck converter. Lastly, the output voltage is regulated to provide a consistent output voltage.

Conclusion

The MBC 180-1015L is a 10A, 15V AC-DC power module converter designed for a variety of commercial and industrial power applications. It is capable of regulating, rectifying, filtering, and controlling the input voltage, providing a stable and efficient output. This module offers a wide range of features, such as a wide range of input voltages, high efficiency, low input ripple, and an embedded control circuit providing overload protection and over-temperature protection.
