High and low temperature outdoor power supply

Wide temperature power supplies usually operate within a range of -40 to -20°C up to 70–80°C, exceeding the range of conventional power supplies and meeting the needs of most applications. Although wide temperature power supplies utilize internal components with superior heat resistance, these materials still have thermal and efficiency limits.

We qualify and derate our high temperature components significantly for the application. Our standard and custom high temperature power supplies range from 2.5V up to 150kV and, in some instances, they can withstand temperatures of up to 225°C.

The High Temperature X-ray HVPS, the 100kV Neutron Generator HVPS, the 2kV PMT power supply, the 100V Ultrasonic Transducer power supply and the High Temperature Multiple-Output Low Voltage DC Converters are just a few of the options available. However, we customize products to fit any applications you require and deliver them in a timely fashion.

Typically, the operating temperature range for power supplies is between 0°C and 40°C, with some products able to reach standards of 0°C to 50°C. In other words, the temperature inside the equipment must be maintained within this range to ensure stable operation.

Power supplies need to be housed outdoors, where the extreme heat of the summer and the extreme cold of the winter will both be present. Power supplies heat themselves up at different rates and intensities, and environmental influences will impact how quickly a power supply is exposed to high temperatures.

When the ambient temperature exceeds this range—such as during scorching summers or freezing winters—the power supply may fail to operate normally. To address such extreme environments, users are advised to opt for wide temperature (Wide Temperature) power supplies.
