ER / HR Series
144 / 288 W 10:1 DC-DC Converters
Description
The converter inputs are protected against surges and transients. An input over- and undervoltage lockout circuitry disables
the outputs, when the input voltage is outside of the specified range. To avoid high input currents at operation with high-voltage
batteries, the inhibit input allows for adjusting the undervoltage lockout to a suitable level, thus allowing the use of an appropriate
external input fuse.
The converters exhibit an inrush current limiter, preventing external circuit breakers and fuses from tripping at switch-on.
The outputs are open- and short-circuit proof.
Full input-to-output, input-to-case, output-to-case, and output to output isolation is provided. The converters are particularly suitable
for railway applications. The HR converters can be supplied by all common railway batteries with 24 V, 36 V, 48 V, 72 V, 96 V, 110 V,
and 120 V nominal voltage. The ER converters can be supplied by all common railway batteries with 96 V, 110 V, and 120 V nominal
voltage. All PCB boards are coated with a protective lacquer.
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 disables the outputs when the case temperature TC exceeds the limit. The outputs are automatically reenabled, when the temperature drops below the limit.
LED indicators display the status of the converter and allow for visual monitoring of the system at any time.
The converters may either be plugged into a 19 ” rack system according to IEC 60297-3, or be chassis mounted. Two heat sinks
of different size and cooling plates for chassis mounting (option B, B1) are available.

ER / HR Series
144 / 288 W 10:1 DC-DC Converters
Functional Description
The input voltage is fed via an efficient filter to the interleaved switching boost converter (HR models), which provides the
intermediate circuit voltage on the bulk capacitor C b. The inrush current is limited by the resistor Rinr, which is shorted by Vinr after
the bulk capacitor was charged.
The bulk capacitor sources a single-transistor forward converter with active clamp and provides the power during the interruption
time of 10 ms.
The main transformer exhibits two separate secondary windings for the two outputs. The resultant voltages are rectified by
synchronous rectifiers (not models with Vo = 2 × 48 V) in order to provide the best efficiency. Their ripple voltages are smoothed by
a dual power choke and output filters. The control logic senses the main output voltage Vo1 and generates the control signal for the
forward converter, with respect to the max. output current transferred via magnetic feedback to the control circuit of the forward
converter, located on the primary side.
The second output voltage 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 drop as well and vice versa.
The output voltages can be adjusted by external means. Parallel operation of several converters is possible by interconnecting
the T-pins to provide active current sharing. Both outputs can be connected in parallel or in series without any precaution. They
exhibit a rectangular current limitation characteristic. Switchable preloads VPL (Version V101 or later) ensure good regulation even
with no load at one output.
A control output (D) and two LEDs signal correct operation of the converter. In case of an output overvoltage, the converter is
disabled by a latch.
Input over- and undervoltage lockout is provided. The undervoltage trigger level can be adjusted by an external resistor connected
to PUL (pin 24) depending on the nominal voltage of the supplying battery.
Temperature sensors on the primary and secondary side prevent the converter from excessive warm-up.
A cooling plate for chassis-mounting is available (opt. B, B1).

PUL Function and Fuse
No fuse is incorporated in the converters. Consequently, an external fuse or a circuit breaker must be installed at system level to
protect against severe defects.
HR converters are designed for an extremely wide input voltage range, allowing for connection to all common railway batteries.
However, the programmable input undervoltage lockout (PUL, pin 24) should be adjusted adequately, in order to limit the input
current at low input voltage.
Table 3 specifies the values of the resistor R PUL, connected between PUL and Vi–, versus the resultant minimum input voltage and
the recommended external input fuse.
Fig. 3 shows more values of R PUL versus start-up voltage. For stationary batteries, a higher start-up voltage might be advantageous.

ER / HR Series
144 / 288 W 10:1 DC-DC Converters
Reverse Polarity and Input Transient Protection
Reverse polarity protection of all models is provided by an antiparallel diode across the input, causing the external input fuse or
circuit breaker to trip. ER models exhibit an additional serial diode on the input.
The double stage symmetrical input filter together with a VDR (voltage depending resistor) form an effective protection against
high input transient voltages, which typically occur in battery-driven mobile applications.
At very high input voltage, the overvoltage lockout disables the converter in order to protect it from damage.
Inrush Current Limitation
The converters exhibit an electronic inrush current limiting circuit. This circuit is also functional, when the input voltage is removed
and immediately reapplied.
However, several capacitors are directly connected to the input pins. Consequently, a short current peak is present, when applying
the input voltage.
The inrush current peak value can be determined by following calculation; see also fig. 6:

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 within the specified input voltage range and nominal load, 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; see also fig. 9.

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 enhanced cooling with the help of cooling plates (options B, B1) allows for TA to be higher than 71 °C
(e.g. 85 °C), as long as TC max is not exceeded.

ER / HR Series
144 / 288 W 10:1 DC-DC Converters
Thermal Protection
Two temperature sensors generate an internal inhibit signal, which disables the converter in the case of overtemperature.
The outputs automatically recover when the temperature drops below the limit.
Interruption Time
The integrated storage capacitor (C b) is loaded to the boost voltage and ensures full output voltage with nominal load during an
interruption time (or ride-through time) of at least 10 ms, provided that V i was ≥ 20 V before the interruption. This complies with
EN 50155:2017 class S 2.
Output Protection
The 2nd output of double-output models is protected by a suppressor diode against overvoltage, which could occur due to a failure
of the internal control circuit. This suppressor diode was not designed to withstand externally applied overvoltages. Overload at
any of the outputs will cause both outputs to shut down.
Note: Vo BR of the suppressor diode is specified in Electrical Output Data. If this voltage is exceeded, the suppressor diode generates losses
and may become a short circuit.
Note: The output voltage of the first output is monitored. If it exceeds typ. 140% of Vo nom for 10 ms, the converter is inhibited. To reactivate,
Vi must be removed or an inhibit signal must be applied to PUL (pin 24).
Each output has its own current limiting circuit, providing a rectangular output characteristic and protecting against short circuit.
There is no limitation for the capacitive load, and battery charging is possible as well.

Series and Parallel Connection
Both outputs of the same converter can be series-connected or parallel-connected in order to double the output current or the
output voltage respectively.
Outputs of different converters may be series-connected.
In parallel connection of several converters, the T-pins should be interconnected so that all converters share the output current
equally; see fig. 10. HRL and ERL models have no T-pins and should not be operated in parallel connection.
If both outputs of each converter are connected in series, Vo1– of both converters should be connected together and the T-pins
as well. See fig. 11.

Notes:
– Not more than 5 converters should be connected in parallel.
– If several outputs are connected in series, the resulting voltage can exceed the ES1 level.
– The PUL- pins ( pin 24) should exhibit an individual PUL resistor for each converter. If the shutdown function is used, each PUL-pin must be
controlled individually.
– The R-pins should be left open-circuit. If not, the output voltages must individually be adjusted prior to paralleling within 1 to 2% or the R-pins
should be connected together.
– Series connection of second outputs without involving their main outputs should be avoided, as regulation may be poor.

Typical dynamic load regulation of Vo.
Output 1 is under normal conditions regulated to Vo nom, irrespective of the output currents.
However, Vo2 depends upon the load distribution; see fig. 14 a and fig.14b. Converters with version V101 (or later) have incorporated
switchable preloads and do not need a minimum load.
Note: If output 2 is not used, connect it with output 1 ! This ensures good voltage regulation and efficiency.

Auxiliary Functions
Inhibit Function
The PUL input (pin 24) can also be used as inhibit (for the PUL function see table 3 and 4). The response time ton and the rise time tr
are specified in table 2.
The current coming out from pin 24 (PUL) is typ. 1.5 mA (2.875 V may damage the converter.
b) Adjustment by means of an external resistor:
Depending on the value of the required output voltage, the resistor shall be connected
either: between pin 16 (R) and pin 14 (S1–) to adjust the output voltage in the range of approx. 40 – 100% of Vo nom.

Output voltage adjustment
Notes:
– If the output voltages are increased above Vo nom via R-input control, sense lines, or option T, the output currents should be reduced, so that
Po nom is not exceeded.
– The second output of double-output models follows the voltage of the controlled main output.
Output Voltage Monitor
The output voltage monitor generates a logic “low” signal (NPN open-collector output) at the D-output (pin 20), when Vo1 ≥ 0.96 Vo nom.
For converters with version V101 (or later), the voltage at S1+ (corresponding to Vo1) must be ≥ 0.96 Vo nom and ≤1.04 Vo nom (typ.
values). Then, a green LED (Out OK) at the frontplate is illuminated. If the output voltage is adjusted by the R-input, the trigger
levels are corrected accordingly.
At low D-output, the current is limited by a 10 Ω protective resistor; for converters with Version V102 (or later) I D should be ≤ 100 mA.
If the D-output is high (open collector), VD should be ≤ 75 V. For previous converters: ≤50 mA and 50 V.
Note: Output overvoltage activates a latch; see Output Protection.

Indicators
Two green LED indicators are visible at the front plate:
- Out OK; see Output Voltage Monitor
- In OK. This signal is activated when Vi is below 158 V and greater than Vi min, whereas Vi min is defined by the adjust resistor
connected to the PUL input (pin 24).
Battery Charging / Temperature Sensor
All converters with an R-input are suitable for battery charger application. For optimal battery charging and life expectancy of the
battery an external temperature sensor can be connected to the R-input. The sensor is mounted as close as possible to the battery
and adjusts the output voltage according to the battery temperature.
Depending upon cell voltage and the temperature coefficient of the battery, different sensor types are available; see Accessories.

Electromagnetic Emissions
All conducted emissions (fig. 21 and 22) have been tested according to EN 55011, group 1, class A. These limits are much
stronger than requested in EN 50121-3-2:2016, table 2.1, and coincide with EN 50121-4:2016, table 1.1. The limits in fig. 21 and
22 apply to quasipeak values, which are always lower then peak values.
In addition, the values for average must hold a limit 10 dBµV below the limits in fig. 21 and 22 (not shown).
Radiated emissions have been tested according to EN 55011, group 1, class A . These limits are similar to the requirements of
EN 50121-3-2:2016 and EN 50121-4:2016, both calling up EN 61000-6-4+A1:2011, table 1. The tests were executed with hori
zontal and vertical polarization. The worse result is shown in fig. 22 and 23.

Installation Instructions
The converters are components, intended exclusively for inclusion within other equipment by an industrial assembly operation
or by professional installers. Installation must strictly follow the national safety regulations in compliance with the enclosure,
mounting, creepage, clearance, casualty, markings, and segregation requirements of the end-use application.
Connection to the system shall be made via the female connector H15; see Accessories. Other installation methods may not meet
the safety requirements.
Pin no. 22 (
) is connected with the case. For safety reasons it is essential to connect this pin reliably to protective earth.
Notes:
– The PUL function (pin 24) must be programmed to enable the outputs. PUL should be connected to Vi– (pins 30 + 32) by a resistor to adjust
the start-up voltage; see table 3. Otherwise, the input current may become too high at low input voltage.
– Do not open the converter, or warranty will be invalidated.
– If the second output is not used, connect it in parallel with the main output.
Make sure that there is sufficient airflow available for convection cooling and verify it by measuring the case temperature TC, when
the converter is installed and operated in the end-use application; see Thermal Considerations.
Ensure that a converter failure (e.g. an internal short-circuit) does not result in a hazardous condition.

ER / HR Series
144 / 288 W 10:1 DC-DC Converters
Standards and Approvals
The converters are safety-approved to UL/CSA 62368-1 3rd edition and IEC/EN 62368-1 3rd edition.
The converters correspond to Class I equipment (with case connected to ground). They have been evaluated for:
• Building-in
• Basic insulation between input and case based on 250 VA. Double or reinforced insulation between input and outputs
• Functional insulation between outputs
• Overvoltage category II
• Pollution degree 2 environment
• Max. altitude: 2000 m
• The converters fulfill the requirements of a fire enclosure.
The output voltage is considered as ES1, except HR/HRP/ER/ERP2880 with both outputs in series connection.
The converters are subject to manufacturing surveillance in accordance with the above mentioned safety standards and with ISO 9001:2015,
IRIS ISO/TS 22163:2017 certified quality and business management system. CB-scheme is available on request.
Protection Degree and Cleaning Liquids
The protection degree is IP 40, provided that the female connector is fitted to the converter.
In order to avoid possible damage, any penetration of cleaning fluids has to be prevented, since the power supplies are not
hermetically sealed.
Railway Application and Fire Protection
The converters have been designed by observing the railway standards EN 50155, EN 50121-3-2, and EN 50121-4. All boards
are coated with a protective lacquer.
The converters comply with NF-F16 (I2/F1). They also comply with EN 45545-1, EN 45545-2, if installed in a technical compartment
or cabinet.
Isolation and Protective Earth
The electric strength test is performed in the factory as routine test according to EN 62911 and IEC/EN 62368-1 and should not be
repeated in the field. The Company will not honor warranty claims resulting from incorrectly executed electric strength tests. The
resistance case to the earth pin (< 0.1 Ω) is tested with 25 A for 1 s.

Description of Options
B, B1 Cooling Plates
Where a cooling surface is available, we recommend the use of a cooling plate instead of the standard heat sink. The mounting
system should ensure that the maximum case temperature TC max is not exceeded. The cooling capacity is calculated by (η see
