MTW15-51212/V

AC/DC converters offer reliable, stable and cost effective solutions for applications requiring a steady and consistent supply of power. The MTW15-51212/V is just one example of an AC/DC converter which allows safe and efficient conversion of AC power from a mains network to a DC output. This article will take a look at the application field and working principle of the MTW15-51212/V converter.

Application Field

The MTW15-51212/V is suitable for customers who need to convert AC current and power from a mains network into DC. The converter can provide a steady power output for systems such as security systems, PLC, lighting systems, industrial equipment, mobile communication equipment and other electronic equipment which requires a maintained voltage source.

The MTW15-51212/V has a wide input voltage range, from 90VAC to 264VAC, and a maximum output current of 1.2A, making it suitable for a variety of applications. With its built-in protections, the converter is capable of protecting against overvoltage, overcurrent, overtemperature and short-circuit. Additionally, the MTW15-51212/V is UL-certified and compliant with EN61000-6-2, making it an ideal choice for electronic equipment needing a steady and consistent power supply.

Working Principle

The working principle of the MTW15-51212/V can be divided into two parts: the AC/DC conversion and the DC regulate.

In the AC/DC conversion cycle, an AC mains voltage is inputted into the converter which is then rectified and filtered to produce a DC bus voltage. The output is then generated by means of a fixed frequency and duty-cycle control providing a stable and reliable power output.

The DC regulation cycle provides the power output with adjustable voltage output to meet a variety of power needs. It uses a reference voltage generated by an internal reference voltage generator which is then compared to the output voltage through a feedback circuit. If the voltage output deviates from the reference voltage, the duty cycle of the pulse width modulation (PWM) is adjusted to produce the desired output voltage.

In addition to the AC/DC and DC regulation cycles, the MTW15-51212/V also provides an additional feature in the form of power factor correction (PFC). This feature helps to reduce power distortion, reduce energy consumption and minimize the power dissipation of the converter.

Conclusion

The MTW15-51212/V AC/DC converter provides a reliable and cost-effective solution for applications requiring a steady and consistent power supply. With its wide range of features such as adjustable voltage output, power factor correction, and protection against overvoltage, overcurrent, overtemperature and short-circuit, the converter offers a highly efficient and reliable power conversion solution.
