Revolutionizing Industrial Power Supplies with MEAN WELL
In an exciting development for the industrial sector, RS, a renowned global solutions provider, has partnered with MEAN WELL to introduce advanced power supply solutions. This collaboration brings forth two new series, the XDR-E and XTR, which set a new standard for efficiency and reliability in power supplies targeted at a wide variety of industrial applications.
MEAN WELL's Legacy and Innovative Breakthroughs
MEAN WELL has established a robust reputation over the years, boasting over 100 million installations and a decade of proven performance in the field. The latest XDR-E and XTR series are designed to take that legacy even further, promising enhanced functionality and adaptability in today's fast-evolving industrial landscape. The advent of these power supplies aims to address the growing demands across sectors such as automation, telecommunications, and energy management.
Key Improvements Over Legacy Models
Both the new XDR-E single-phase and XTR three-phase models are designed with several groundbreaking enhancements:
- - Slimmer Form Factors: The new designs maximize space efficiency, allowing for greater flexibility in control panel arrangements.
- - Higher Efficiency: Efficiency ratings of 92% to 96% significantly reduce energy consumption and heat generation. Lower inrush currents help mitigate electrical disturbances, enhancing the durability of connected systems.
- - Wider Temperature Ranges: Both series are suitable for challenging environments, with a vast operating temperature range, from -40°C to +85°C.
- - Extended Warranty and Safety Certifications: The new models include extended warranties on performance and numerous international compliance certifications, ensuring they can be applied across various industries and applications.
Enhanced Functionality for Diverse Applications
The XDR-E series caters primarily to single-phase applications with a notable power rating of 75 to 960W, while the XTR series tackles three-phase power needs with capabilities that range similarly. XDR-E is engineered to replace earlier legacy models with added voltage levels and improved operational characteristics.
- - XDR-E Series Highlights:
- Measures between 30mm and 96mm wide, making it up to 45% smaller than predecessors.
- Includes output options tailored for specific industrial needs, notably adding new 36V ratings.
- Capable of operating at high altitudes (up to 5,000m), supporting high-demand environments.
- Features reduced sizes (up to 28% smaller), ideal for tight installation sites.
- Enhanced peak power capability of 150-200% allows flexibility in demanding scenarios.
- A five-year warranty highlights MEAN WELL's commitment to high-quality performance and reliability.
Applications and Usability
Designed for versatility, the XDR-E series is well-suited for SCARA industrial robots, while the XTR series excels in environments like electric vehicle charging stations. With advanced diagnostic features and built-in fault protection options, these innovations provide robust solutions for operators across multiple industries.
