Test Configurations
Design Considerations
Input Source Impedance
The power module should be connected to a low
ac-impedance source. A highly inductive source
impedance can affect the stability of the power
module. For the test configuration in Figure 7, a
470μF Low ESR aluminum capacitor, CIN , mounted
close to the power module helps ensure the stability
of the unit. Consult the factory for further application
guidelines
Output Capacitance
Note: Measure the input reflected-ripple current with a
simulated source inductance (LTEST) of 12 µH. Capacitor
CS offsets possible battery impedance. Measure the current,
as shown above.
Figure 7. Input Reflected Ripple Current Test
Setup.
The JNW350R power module requires a minimum
output capacitance of 440µF Low ESR aluminum
capacitor, Cout to ensure stable operation over the full
range of load and line conditions, see Figure 8. If the
ambient temperature is under -20C, it is required to
use at least 3 pcs of minimum capacitors in parallel.
In general, the process of determining the acceptable
values of output capacitance and ESR is complex and
is load-dependant.
Safety Considerations
For safety-agency approval of the system in which the
power module is used, the power module must be
installed in compliance with the spacing and
separation requirements of the end-use safety agency
standard, i.e., UL60950-1, CSA C22.2 No. 60950-1-
03, EN60950-1 and VDE 0805:2001-12.
Note: Use a Cout (470 µF Low ESR aluminum or tantalum
capacitor typical), a 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor and a 10 µF
ceramic capacitor, and Scope measurement should be made
using a BNC socket. Position the load between 51 mm and
76 mm (2 in. and 3 in.) from the module.
For end products connected to –48V dc, or –60Vdc
nominal DC MAINS (i.e. central office dc battery
plant), no further fault testing is required. *Note: -60V
dc nominal battery plants are not available in the U.S.
or Canada.
Figure 8. Output Ripple and Noise Test Setup.
For all input voltages, other than DC MAINS, where
the input voltage is less than 60V dc, if the input
meets all of the requirements for SELV, then:
The output may be considered SELV. Output
voltages will remain within SELV limits even with
internally-generated non-SELV voltages. Single
component failure and fault tests were performed
in the power converters.
Note: All measurements are taken at the module terminals.
When socketing, place Kelvin connections at module
terminals to avoid measurement errors due to socket contact
resistance.
One pole of the input and one pole of the output
are to be grounded, or both circuits are to be kept
floating, to maintain the output voltage to ground
voltage within ELV or SELV limits. However,
SELV will not be maintained if VI(+) and VO(+)
are grounded simultaneously.
