Description
The K Series of DC-DC and AC-DC converters represents a
broad and flexible range of power supplies for use in advanced
electronic systems. Features include high efficiency, high
reliability, low output voltage noise and excellent dynamic
response to load/line changes. LK models can be powered by
DC or AC with a wide-input frequency range (without PFC).
The converter inputs are protected against surges and
transients. An input over- and undervoltage lockout circuitry
disables the outputs, if the input voltage is outside of the
specified range. Certain types include an inrush current limiter
preventing circuit breakers and fuses from tripping at switchon.
All outputs are open- and short-circuit proof, and are protected
against overvoltages by means of built-in suppressor diodes.
The output can be inhibited by a logic signal applied to pin 18
(i). The inhibit function is not used, pin 18 must be connected
with pin 14 to enable the outputs.
LED indicators display the status of the converter and allow for
visual monitoring of the system at any time.
Table of Contents
The case design allows operation at nominal load up to 71 °C
with natural cooling. If forced cooling is provided, the ambient
temperature may exceed 71 °C, but the case temperature
must remain below 95 °C.
A temperature sensor generates an inhibit signal, which
disables the outputs when the case temperature TC exceeds
the limit. The outputs are automatically re-enabled, when the
temperature drops below the limit.
Various options are available to adapt the converters to
individual applications.
The converters may either be plugged into a 19 " DIN-rack
system according to IEC 60297-3, or be chassis mounted.
Important: For applications requiring compliance with IEC/EN
61000-3-2 (harmonic distortion), please use our LK4000 or
LK5000 Series with incorporated power factor correction (PFC).

K Series Data Sheet
150 Watt DC-DC and AC-DC Converters
Functional Description
The input voltage is fed via an input fuse, an input filter, a
bridge rectifier (LK models only), and an inrush current limiter
to the input capacitor. This capacitor sources a singletransistor forward converter with a special clamping circuit
and provides also the power during the hold-up time.
Each output is powered by a separate secondary winding of
the main transformer. The resultant voltages are rectified and
their ripple smoothed by a power choke and an output filter.
The control logic senses the main output voltage Vo1 and
generates, with respect to the maximum admissible output
currents, the control signal for the switching transistor of the
forward converter.
The second output of double-output models is tracking the
main output, but has its own current limiting circuit. If the main
output voltage drops due to current limitation, the second
output voltage will fall as well and vice versa.
Standard models with a single 5.1 V output have a synchronous rectifier to provide good efficiency.

Both outputs of double-output models are loaded with Io nom.
Valid for -7 versions without option E (-9 versions exclude NTC). This is the nominal value at 25 °C and applies to cold converters at initial
switch-on cycle. Subsequent switch-on/off cycles increase the inrush current peak value.
For 1 s max.
Rated input voltage range is 100 – 240 VAC (nominal 230 VAC). Nominal frequency range is 50 – 60 Hz; operating frequency range is
47 – 440 Hz (440 Hz for 115 V mains). For frequencies ≥ 63 Hz, refer to Installation Instructions.

Input Transient Protection
Inrush Current Limitation
A suppressor diode or a VDR (depending upon the input
voltage range) together with the input fuse and a symmetrical
input filter form an effective protection against high input
transient voltages which, typically occur in most installations,
but especially in battery-driven mobile applications.
The CK, DK, EK, and LK models incorporate an NTC resistor
in the input circuitry, which at initial turn-on reduces the peak
inrush current value by a factor of 5 – 10, such protecting
connectors and switching devices from damage.
Subsequent switch-on cycles within short periods will cause
an increase of the peak inrush current value due to the
warming-up of the NTC resistor. See also Option E.
Standard nominal battery voltages are: 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72,
110, and 220 V. Railway batteries are specified with a tolerance
of –30% to +25%, with short excursions up to ± 40%.
In certain applications, additional surges according to RIA 12
are specified. The power supply must not switch off during
these surges, and since their energy can practically not be
absorbed, an extremely wide input range is required. The EK
input range for 110 V batteries has been designed and tested
to meet this requirement.
Input Fuse
05109a
Rs ext
+
A fuse mounted inside the converter protects against severe
defects. This fuse may not fully protect the converter, when the
input voltage exceeds 200 VDC. In applications, where the
converters operate at source voltages above 200 VDC, an
external fuse or a circuit breaker at system level should be
installed.

BCD20002-G Rev AC, 31-Jan-2014
The converters (except LK models) are not protected against
reverse polarity at the input to avoid unwanted power losses. In
general, only the input fuse will trip.
LK models are fully protected by the built-in bridge rectifier.

Input Under-/Overvoltage Lockout
If the input voltage remains below approx. 0.8 Vi min or exceeds
approx. 1.1 Vi max, an internally generated inhibit signal
disables the output(s). When checking this function, the
absolute maximum input voltage V i abs should be observed.
Between Vi min and the undervoltage lock-out level the output
voltage may be below the value defined in table Electrical

Thermal Considerations
If a converter is located in free, quasi-stationary air
(convection cooling) at the indicated maximum ambient
temperature TA max (see table Temperature specifications) and
is operated at its nominal input voltage and output power, the
temperature measured at the Measuring point of case
temperature TC (see Mechanical Data) will approach the
indicated value TC max after the warm-up phase. However, the
relationship between TA and TC depends heavily upon the
conditions of operation and integration into a system. The
thermal conditions are influenced by input voltage, output
current, airflow, and temperature of surrounding components
and surfaces. TA max is therefore, contrary to TC max, an indicative
value only.
Caution: The installer must ensure that under all operating
conditions TC remains within the limits stated in the table
Temperature specifications.
Notes: Sufficient forced cooling or an additional heat sink allows
TA to be higher than 71 °C (e.g., 85 °C), as long as TC max is not
exceeded. Details are specified in fig. 8.
applied overvoltages. Overload at any of the outputs will
cause a shut-down of all outputs. A red LED indicates the
overload condition.
Note: Vo BR is specified in Electrical Output Data. If this voltage
is exceeded, the suppressor diode generates losses and may
become a short circuit.
Parallel and Series Connection
Single- or double-output models with equal output voltage
can be connected in parallel using option T (current sharing).
If the T pins are interconnected, all converters share the
output current equally.
Single-output models and/or main and second outputs of
double-output models can be connected in series with any
other (similar) output.
Notes:
– Parallel connection of double-output models should always
include both, main and second output to maintain good
regulation.
– Not more than 5 converters should be connected in parallel.
– Series connection of second outputs without involving their
main outputs should be avoided, as regulation may be poor.
1.0
– The maximum output current is limited by the output with the
lowest current limitation when several outputs are connected in
series.

A temperature sensor generates an internal inhibit signal,
which disables the outputs, when the case temperature
exceeds TC max. The outputs automatically recover, when the
temperature drops below this limit.

avoided: Minimum input voltage, maximum output power, and
maximum temperature.

Output Protection
Each output is protected against overvoltages, which could
occur due to a failure of the internal control circuit. Voltage
suppressor diodes (which under worst case condition may
become a short circuit) provide the required protection. The
suppressor diodes are not designed to withstand externally

Output Voltage Regulation
figure 10 applies to single-output or double-output models
with parallel-connected outputs.
For independant configuration, output 1 is under normal
conditions regulated to Vo nom, irrespective of the output
currents.
Vo2 depends upon the load distribution. If both outputs are
loaded with more than 10% of Io nom, the deviation of Vo2
remains within ± 5% of Vo1. Fig. 11 to 13 show the regulation
depending on load distribution.

This option ensures that the output currents are
approximately shared between all parallel-connected
converters, hence increasing system reliability. To use this
facility, simply interconnect the T pins of all converters and
make sure that the reference for the T signal, pin 14 (S– or
Vo1–), are also connected together. The load lines should
have equal length and cross section to ensure equal voltage
drops.

Not more than 5 converters should be connected in parallel.
The R pins should be left open-circuit. If not, the output voltages
must be individually adjusted prior to paralleling within 1 to 2%
or the R pins should be connected together.

The input and/or output undervoltage monitor operates independently of the built-in input undervoltage lockout circuit. A
logic "low" signal (output with self-conducting JFET) or "high"
signal (NPN open-collector output) is generated at the D
output (pin 20), when one of the monitored voltages drops
below the preselected threshold level V t. This signal is
referenced to S– / Vo1–. The D output recovers, when the
monitored voltages exceed Vt + Vh. The threshold levels Vti
and Vto are either adjusted by a potentiometer, accessible
through a hole in the front cover, or adjusted in the factory to a
fixed value specified by the customer.

V ACFAIL signal (VME)
Available for units with Vo nom = 5.1 V only.
This option defines an undervoltage monitoring circuit for the
input or for the input and main output voltage ( 5.1 V) similar to
option D and generates an ACFAIL signal (V signal), which
conforms to the VME standard.
The low state level of the ACFAIL signal is specified at a sink
current of I V ≤ 48 mA to V V ≤ 0.6 V (open-collector output of an
NPN transistor). The pull-up resistor feeding the opencollector output should be placed on the VME back plane.
After the ACFAIL signal has gone low, the VME standard
requires a hold-up time t h of at least 4 ms, before the 5.1 V
output drops to 4.875 V, when the output is fully loaded. This
hold-up time t h is provided by the internal input capacitance.
Consequently the working input voltage and the threshold
level V ti should be adequately above Vi min of the converter, so
that enough energy is remaining in the input capacitance. If V i
is below the required level, an external hold-up capacitor
(C i ext) should be added; refer to the formulas below:
Vt i =

Note: Option V2 and V3 can be adjusted by the potentiometer to
a threshold level between Vi min and Vi max. A decoupling diode
should be connected in series with the input of AK – FK
converters to avoid the input capacitance discharging through
other loads connected to the same source voltage.
Option V operates independently of the built-in input undervoltage lockout circuit. A logic "low" signal is generated at pin
20, as soon as one of the monitored voltages drops below the
preselected threshold level V t. The return for this signal is
S–. The V output recovers, when the monitored voltages
exceed V t + Vh . The threshold level V t i is either adjustable by a
potentiometer, accessible through a hole in the front cover, or
adjusted in the factory to a determined customer-specific
value. Refer to table 26.
V output (V0, V2, V3):
Pin V is internally connected to the open collector of an NPN
transistor. The emitter is connected to S–. V V ≤ 0.6 V (logic
low) corresponds to a monitored voltage level (V i and/or Vo)

V i min increases proportionally to Vo /Vo nom.

voltage at the connector pins by the voltage drop ∆V ti across
the input filter. The threshold level of option V0 is adjusted in
the factury at Io nom and TA = 25 °C. The value of ∆V ti depends
upon the input voltage range (AK, BK, etc.), threshold level V t ,
temperature, and input current. The input current is a function
of input voltage and output power.
