Summary
The K 4000/5000-series of AC-DC converters represents a
flexible range of power supplies for use in advanced elec-
tronic systems. Features include full power factor correc-
tion, high efficiency, high reliability, low output voltage noise
and excellent dynamic response to load/line changes.
The converter inputs are protected against surges and tran-
sients occurring at the source lines. An input over- and
undervoltage lock-out circuitry disables the outputs if the
input voltage is outside the specified ranges. Inrush current
limitation is included preventing circuit breakers and fuses
from being damaged at switch-on.
All outputs are overload, open- and short-circuit proof and
are protected against overvoltages by means of a built-in
suppressor diode. The outputs can be inhibited by a logic
signal applied to the connector pin 18 (i). If the inhibit func-
tion is not used pin 18 must be connected with pin 14 to en-
able the outputs.
LED indicators display the status of the converter and allow
visual monitoring of the system at any time.
Full input to output, input to case, output to case and output
to output isolation is provided. The modules are designed
and built according to the international safety standards
IEC/EN 60950 and have been approved by the safety
agencies LGA (Germany) and UL (USA). The UL Mark for
Canada has been officially recognized by regulatory au-
thorities in provinces across Canada.
The case design allows operation at nominal load up to
71°C in a free air ambient temperature. If forced cooling is
provided, the ambient temperature may exceed 71°C but
the case temperature must remain below 95°C under all
conditions.
A temperature sensor generates an inhibit signal which
disables the outputs if the case temperature
T
C
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 in-
dividual applications.
The modules may either be plugged into 19 inch rack sys-
tems according to DIN 41494, or be chassis mounted.
Important:
These products are intended to replace the
LK 1000 and LK 2000 in order to comply with IEC/EN
61000-3-2.

Functional Description
AC-DC Converters >100 Watt
K Series
The input voltage is fed via an input fuse, an input filter, a
rectifier and an inrush current limiter to a single transistor
boost converter. This converter provides a sinusoidal in-
put current (IEC/EN 61000-3-2, class D equipment) and
sources a capacitor with a voltage of 360-370 VDC. This
capacitor sources a single transistor forward converter.
Each output is powered by a separate secondary winding
on the main transformer. The resultant voltages are recti-
fied and their ripples smoothed by a power choke and an
output filter. The control logic senses the main output volt-
age
U
o1
and generates, with respect to the maximum ad-
missible output currents, the control signal for the primary
switching transistor.
The second output of double output units is controlled by
the main output but has independent current limiting. If the
main output is driven into current limitation, the second out-
put voltage will fall as well and vice versa.

Input Fuse
A fuse mounted inside the converter protects the module
against severe defects. (If operated from a DC-source this
fuse may not fully protect the module when the input volt-
age exceeds 200 V DC! In applications where the convert-
ers operate at source voltages above 200 V DC an external
fuse or a circuit breaker at system level should be in-
stalled!)
Reverse Polarity Protection
Should the input voltage to the unit be supplied from a DC
source the built-in bridge rectifier provides reverse polarity
protection.
Inrush Current Limitation
The modules of the versions -7, -6, incorporate an NTC re-
sistor in the input circuitry which - at initial turn on - reduces
the peak inrush current value by a factor of 5...10 to protect
connectors and switching devices from damage. Subse-
quent switch-on cycles within short periods will cause an
increase of the peak inrush current value due to the warm-
ing-up of the NTC resistor. See also:
E option.

Input Under-/Overvoltage Lock-out
If the input voltage remains below approx. 65 V AC or ex-
ceeds approx. 280 V AC an internally generated inhibit sig-
nal disables the output(s). When checking this function the
absolute maximum input voltage rating
U
i abs
should be
considered! Between
U
i min
and the undervoltage lock-out
level the output voltage may be below the value defined in
table:

(see:
Technical Information: Measuring
and Testing).
Input Transient Protection
A VDR together with the input fuse and a symmetrical input
filter form an effective protection against high input tran-
sient voltages.
