EXAMPLE 1:
An AC3-24S module has an efficiency of 81%. What is themaximum ambient temperature if 100 Watts of power is needed?

EXAMPLE 2:
What would be the maximum output power for an AC3-24S module at an ambient temperature of  50°C with an efficiency of 81%?

EXAMPLE 3:
At a maximum ambient temperature of 50°C and an efficiency of 81%, how could an AC3-24S module be used if 200 Watts of output power is required?

 

For output voltages up to and including 48V

Sense Pins must be connected
(see application note for remote sense)

For output voltages above 48V

Remote Sense Terminals (only on models with output voltages below and including 48V)

Remote Sense terminals must be connected for unit to operate properly. When conncected in local sense (+S connected to +V output terminal and -V output terminal), the output voltage is regulated at the output terminals.

If your load is connected more than a few inches away from the unit and you want to regulate the output voltage ON the load, remote sense is required. This means connecting the +S connection at the end of the +V wire (at the load), and the -S connection at the end of the -V wire (at the load). Since the load wires have current flowing through them and they have a certain resistance, there will be a voltage drop in them so that the output voltage at the load will be lower than the output voltage of the unit. Remote sense will prevent theis by compensating for up to 1V of drop in the load wires. This means that the output voltage of the unit will ge up to 1V higher than the nominal value, so that at the load, the voltage will be the nominal value.

Example of local and remote sense connections, using the AC3-12S with a 0.2V drop in the wires connecting the +V and -V output terminals to the load

Vout = Voltage on the output voltage terminals of the unit.
Vload = Voltage on the load where the wires are connected.
Vout = Vload + Vwire1 + Vwire2

LOCAL SENSE CONNECTION

REMOTE SENSE CONNECTION
With local sense, Vout is regulated at 12V
So, Vout = 12V
Vload = Vout - Vwire1 - Vwire2
Vload = 12V - .2V - .2V = 11.8 Volts		 With remot sense, Vload is regulated at 12V
So, Vload = 12V
Vout = Vload + Vwire1 + Vwire2
Vout = 12V + .2V + .2V = 12.4 Volts

The voltage drops in the wires connecting the +V and -V output terminals of the unit and the load depend on the size of the wire (or PCBoard trace) and the current flowing through them.
