Description
The Convert Select front end series represents a family of
DIN-rail mountable DC-DC and AC-DC converters with power
factor correction. The converters have been designed
according to the latest industry requirements and standards.
The converters are ideal for use in outdoor and other
demanding applications to power building control systems,
factory automation, industrial controls, instrumentation,
electromagnetic drives, fans, and other DC loads. Different
models are available with a single output or two independently
regulated, electrically isolated outputs with 12, 24, 36, or 48 V.
Special models for battery charging are available. The EW
models are particularly suitable for 110 V railway applications;
they have been designed in accordance with the railway
standards EN 50155 and EN 50121.
Key features of the Convert Select line include power factor
correction with low harmonic distortion, negligibly low inrush
current, high immunity to transients and surges, and low
electromagnetic emissions. Internal protection circuits such as
input over- and undervoltage lockout, thermal protection, as
well as output overvoltage protection by a second control loop
ensure safe operation of the final system.
The outputs deliver an electrically-isolated Safety Extra Low
Voltage (SELV) and low output noise. They are no-load,

125, 250 Watt AC-DC and DC-DC DIN-Rail Converters
overload, and short-circuit proof. The electronically controlled
short-term peak power capability of up to 150% of the rated
output power enables the front end converters to deliver
additional power to start-up motors or to safely operate
subsequent circuit breakers. Built-in large sized output
capacitors absorb possible reverse energy, which may be
caused by quick deceleration of electromagnetic drives
connected directly to the output. A green LED at the front cover
displays the status of the output(s).
The Convert Select Series was designed according to all
relevant international safety standards. The converters are
approved by TÜV and UL, and are UL 508 listed. Adequate
clearances and creepage distances allow operation in
pollution degree 3 environment (with AC input). All board
assemblies are coated with a protective lacquer.
The thermal concept allows operation at full load up to an
ambient temperature of 60 °C (LW models) or 70 °C (EW
models) in free air without forced cooling. A rugged DIN snap-fit
device allows easy and reliable fixing onto the various 35 mm
DIN rail models. The converters are fitted with cage clamp
terminals which are easily accessible from the front. System
connectors with screw terminals for use with pre-assembled
harnesses, external adjustment of the output voltage as well as
various auxiliary functions are available as options.
The letter E stands for improved EMC performance of LW
models. Models without E are obsolete.

Functional Description
The W Series converters are primary controlled AC-DC or DC-
DC flyback converters with a constant switching frequency of
130 kHz. The power-factor-corrected single-step conversion of
the input voltage to a low output voltage results in extremely
high efficiency. Depending upon the output power, the
converters are fitted with one (125 W) or two (250 W)
powertrains. Models with two powertrains have one or two
outputs. Double-output models exhibit individually regulated
powertrains.
The input voltage is fed via fuse, filter, and rectifier to the main
transformer, designed in planar technique. The input filter with
very small input capacitance generates virtually no inrush
current. An input transient suppressor protects the converter
against high voltage peaks and surges. Input over- and
undervoltage lockout as well as input current limitation protect
the converter from operation outside of its specification. The
input voltage waveform is sensed by the primary control logic
to allow active power factor correction, forcing the input current
to follow the input voltage waveform.
The secondary side of the main transformer supplies via the
rectifier diode a large electrolytic output storage capacitor
providing for the hold-up time. Double-output models exhibit an
individual control logic each. The output voltage and the output
current are measured and fed back to the primary control logic
via an optocoupler. A second control loop monitors the output
voltage. It disables the output in the case of a failure in the
control logic and limits the output voltage.
Built-in temperature sensors monitor the internal temperature
of each powertrain. If the temperature exceeds the limit, the
converter reduces the output power continuously to keep the
temperature below its limit. A green LED on the front cover
confirms the presence of the output voltage(s).
The R input (option R, M1, or M2) allows for external adjustment
of the output voltage by means of a resistor or an external
voltage source. An external sensor can be connected to the R
input and allows for temperature-controlled battery charging
(see
Accessories).
