New compact 500W series of medical power supplies

Delta has launched the MEP-500A, a high-performance 500W model, as an addition to its open frame medical power supply MEP Series. The series is available now from Luso Electronics. It is specifically designed for medical applications with limited space, such as IVD equipment, operating beds, endoscopes, ultrasound machines, and ventilators.

The model supplies an outstanding power density of up to 25.64W/in³ and 95% efficiency in a compact 3” x 5” footprint, optimising performance and reducing installation space. Crafted for flexibility and reliability, the series provides output voltage options of 12V, 18V, 24V, and 48V, reliably operating within -30C to +85C operating temperature. The 5V/2A standby power capability advances efficiency and lowers operational costs.

Demonstrating high operational quality, it supplies 500W with fan cooling and 300W with natural convection cooling. To support improved control and monitoring, the power supply also features remote sensing to compensate for voltage drops in wiring, and remote on/off capabilities for user-friendly system management and diagnostics.

The MEP-500A is equipped with 2 x MOPP isolation, fulfilling the strict requirements for type BF medical equipment to protect patients and operators. It is certified to IEC/EN/UL safety standards for medical, IT, and household use. Further, it complies with the EN 55032 Class B standard, minimising EMI and ensuring a reliable operation for sensitive medical devices.
