Description
panel allow for a check of the main output voltage.
These extremely compact DC-DC converters incorporate all
necessary input and output filters, signaling and protection
features, which are required in the majority of applications.
The converters provide important advantages such as flexible
output power through primary current limitation, high
efficiency, excellent reliability, very low ripple and RFI noise
levels, full input to output isolation, negligible inrush current,
overtemperature protection, and input over-/undervoltage
lockout. The converter inputs are protected against surges
and transients occurring on the source lines.
Full system flexibility and n+1 redundant operating mode are
possible due to virtually unrestricted series or parallel
connection capabilities of all outputs. In parallel connection of
several converters, automatic current sharing is provided by a
single-wire interconnection.
The converters are particularly suitable for rugged
environments, such as railway applications. They have been
designed in accordance with the European railway standards
EN 50155 and EN 50121-3-2. All printed circuit boards are
coated with a protective lacquer.
The outputs are continuously open- and short-circuit proof. An
isolated output Power Good signal and LEDs at the front panel
indicate the status of the converter. Test sockets at the front
Table of Contents
The fully enclosed, black-coated aluminum case acts as a heat
sink and an RFI shield. The converters are designed for 19"
DIN-rack systems occupying 3 U / 4 TE only, but can also be
chassis-mounted by means of four screws. Fitting an
additional heat or ordering options with fitted heat sink is
possible as well.

As a modular power supply or as part of a distributed power
supply system, the extremely low profile design significantly
reduces the necessary power supply volume without
sacrificing high reliability. A temperature sensor disables the
outputs, if the case temperature exceeds the limit. The outputs
are automatically re-enabled, when the temperature drops
below the limit.

Functional Description
The converters are designed as forward converters using
primary and secondary control circuits in SMD technology. The
switching frequency is approximately 200 kHz under nominal
operating conditions. The built-in high-efficient input filter
together with a small input capacitance generate very low
inrush currents of short duration. After transformer isolation
and rectification, the output filter reduces ripple and noise to a
minimum without compromising the dynamic ability. The
output voltage is fed to the secondary control circuit via
separate sense lines. The resultant error signal is sent to the
primary control circuit via a signal transformer.
Double-output models have the voltage regulation of output 2
relying on the close magnetic coupling of the transformer and
the output inductor together with the circuits' symmetry.
The current limitation is located at the primary side, thus
limiting the total output current in overload conditions. This
allows flexible loading of each output for unsymmetrical loads
in the range 10 to 90% of the total output power. In applications
with large dynamic load changes, we recommend connecting
such a load to output 1. If output 2 is not used, it should be
connected parallel to output 1. Both outputs can either be
series- or parallel-connected (see Electrical Output Data).
In normal operation, the internal control circuits are powered
by a third winding of the main choke (except 48 Q models).
Start-up is ensured from the input voltage by a linear regulator.
Note: When the output voltage is much lower then the nominal
value, this linear regulator is activated, generating considerable
power losses.

Input Fuse
Input Stability with Long Supply Lines
An incorporated fuse in series to the negative input line
protects against severe defects. The fuse is not externally
accessible. Reverse polarity at the input will cause the fuse to
blow.
If a Q Series converter is connected to the power source with
long input lines which exhibit a considerable inductance, an
additional external capacitor connected in parallel to the input
improves stability and avoids oscillations.
Note: Customer-specific models with no internal fuse are
available on request; the customer must prevew an external fuse
according to table 3.
Actually, a Q Series converter with nominal load acts like a
negative resistor, as the input current rises when the input
voltage decreases. It tends to oscillate with a resonant
frequency determined by the line inductance Lex t and the input
capacitance Ci + Cext and damped by the resistors Ri + Rext.
The whole system is not linear at all and eludes a simple
calculation. One basic condition is given by the formula:
Vin²
—• η
Rext Vo nom.

Output Good Signal (Out-OK)
The isolated Out-OK output gives a status indication of the
converter and the output voltage. It can be used for control
functions such as data protection, central system monitoring or
as a part of a self-testing system. It can be connected to get a
centralized fault detection or may be used for other systemspecific applications at the primary or the secondary side of
the converter.
Connecting the Out-OK as per fig. 22, VOK
