Vega 450 Handbook
Customer Air Cooling (option C):
The following method must be used for determining the safe operation of PSUs when C option (Customer Air) is
fitted, ie fan not fitted to PSU.
For PSUs cooled by customer supplied airflow the components listed in the following table must not exceed the
temperatures given. Additionally ratings specified for units with an internal fan must still be complied with, eg mains
input voltage range, maximum output power, ampere turns, module voltage / current ratings and maximum ambient
temperature. To determine the component temperatures the heating tests must be conducted in accordance with
the requirements of the safety standard being considered for the end equipment.
Test requirements include: PSU to be fitted in its end-use equipment and operated under the most adverse
conditions permitted in the end-use equipment handbook/specification and which will result in the highest
temperatures in the PSU. To determine the most adverse conditions consideration should be given to the
end use equipment maximum operating ambient, the PSU loading and input voltage, ventilation, end use equipment
orientation, the position of doors & covers, etc. Temperatures should be monitored using type K fine wire
thermocouples (secured with cyanoacrylate adhesive, or similar) placed on the hottest part of the component (out of
any direct airflow) and the equipment should be run until all temperatures have stabilised.
