Test Configurations
Note: Measure input reflected-ripple current with a simulated
source inductance (LTEST) of 12 µH. Capacitor CS offsets
possible battery impedance. Measure current as shown above.
Figure 31. Input Reflected Ripple Current Test Setup.
Note: Use a 1.0 µF ceramic capacitor and a 10 µF aluminum or
tantalum capacitor. 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.

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 31, a 100F
electrolytic capacitor (ESR<0.7 at 100kHz), mounted
close to the power module helps ensure the stability of
the unit. Consult the factory for further application
guidelines.
Output Capacitance
High output current transient rate of change (high di/dt)
loads may require high values of output capacitance to
supply the instantaneous energy requirement to the
load. To minimize the output voltage transient drop
during this transient, low E.S.R. (equivalent series
resistance) capacitors may be required, since a high
E.S.R. will produce a correspondingly higher voltage drop
during the current transient.
Output capacitance and load impedance interact with
the power module’s output voltage regulation control
system and may produce an ’unstable’ output condition
for the required values of capacitance and E.S.R..
Minimum and maximum values of output capacitance
and of the capacitor’s associated E.S.R. may be dictated,
depending on the module’s control system.
The process of determining the acceptable values of
capacitance and E.S.R. is complex and is load-
dependant. GE provides Web-based tools to assist the
power module end-user in appraising and adjusting the
effect of various load conditions and output
capacitances on specific power modules for various load
conditions.
Safety Considerations
For safety agency approval the power module must be
installed in compliance with the spacing and separation
requirements of the end-use safety agency standards,
i.e., UL 60950-1 2nd, CSA C22.2 No. 60950-1-07, DIN EN
60950-1:2006 + A11 (VDE0805 Teil 1 + A11):2009-11; EN
60950-1:2006 + A11:2009-03. For the converter output
to be considered meeting the requirements of safety
extra-low voltage (SELV), the input must meet SELV
requirements.
If the input source is non-SELV (ELV or a hazardous
voltage greater than 60 Vdc and less than or equal to
75Vdc), for the module’s output to be considered as
meeting the requirements for safety extra-low voltage
(SELV), all of the following must be true:

Safety Considerations
(continued)
The input source is to be provided with reinforced
insulation from any other hazardous voltages,
including the ac mains.
One V
IN
pin and one V
OUT
pin are to be grounded, or
both the input and output pins are to be kept
floating.
The input pins of the module are not operator
accessible.
Another SELV reliability test is conducted on the
whole system (combination of supply source and
subject module), as required by the safety agencies,
to verify that under a single fault, hazardous
voltages do not appear at the module’s output.
Note: Do not ground either of the input pins of the
module without grounding one of the output
pins. This may allow a non-SELV voltage to
appear between the output pins and ground.
The power module has extra-low voltage (ELV) outputs
when all inputs are ELV.
For input voltages exceeding –60 Vdc but less than or
equal to –75 Vdc, these converters have been evaluated
to the applicable requirements of BASIC INSULATION
between secondary DC MAINS DISTRIBUTION input
(classified as TNV-2 in Europe) and unearthed SELV
outputs.
The input to these units is to be provided with a
maximum 15A fast-acting (or time-delay) fuse in the
unearthed lead.

Feature Descriptions
Overcurrent Protection
To provide protection in a fault output overload
condition, the module is equipped with internal current-
limiting circuitry and can endure current limit for few
seconds. If overcurrent persists for few seconds, the
module will shut down and remain latch-off. The
overcurrent latch is reset by either cycling the input
power or by toggling the on/off pin for one second. If the
output overload condition still exists when the module
restarts, it will shut down again. This operation will
continue indefinitely until the overcurrent condition is
corrected.
An auto-restart option is also available.
Remote On/Off
Two remote on/off options are available. Positive logic
remote on/off turns the module on during a logic-high
voltage on the ON/OFF pin, and off during a logic low.
Negative logic remote on/off turns the module off during
a logic high and on during a logic low. Negative logic,
device code suffix "1," is the factory-preferred
configuration. To turn the power module on and off, the
user must supply a switch to control the voltage
between the on/off terminal and the VI (-) terminal
(Von/off). The switch can be an open collector or
equivalent (see Figure 34). A logic low is Von/off = 0 V to
I.2 V. The maximum Ion/off during a logic low is 1 mA.
The switch should maintain a logic-low voltage while
sinking 1 mA. During a logic high, the maximum Von/off
generated by the power module is 15 V. The maximum
allowable leakage current of the switch at Von/off = 15V
is 50 µA. If not using the remote on/off feature, perform
one of the following to turn the unit on:
For negative logic, short ON/OFF pin to VI(-).
For positive logic: leave ON/OFF pin open.
Figure 34. Remote On/Off Implementation.
Remote Sense
Remote sense minimizes the effects of distribution losses
by regulating the voltage at the remote-sense
connections. The voltage between the remote-sense
pins and the output terminals must not exceed the
output voltage sense range given in the Feature
Specifications table i.e.:
[Vo(+) – Vo(-)] – [SENSE(+) – SENSE(-)] % of V
o,nom
.
The voltage between the Vo(+) and Vo(-) terminals must
not exceed the minimum output overvoltage shut-down
value indicated in the Feature Specifications table. This
limit includes any increase in voltage due to remote-
sense compensation and output voltage set-point
adjustment (trim). See Figure 35. If not using the remote-
sense feature to regulate the output at the point of load,
then connect SENSE(+) to Vo(+) and SENSE(-) to Vo(-) at
the module.
Although the output voltage can be increased by both
the remote sense and by the trim, the maximum
increase for the output voltage is not the sum of both.
The maximum increase is the larger of either the remote
sense or the trim. The amount of power delivered by the
module is defined as the voltage at the output terminals
multiplied by the output current. When using remote
sense and trim: the output voltage of the module can be
increased, which at the same output current would
increase the power output of the module. Care should be
taken to ensure that the maximum output power of the
module remains at or below the maximum rated power.
Figure 35. Effective Circuit Configuration for Single-
Module Remote-Sense Operation Output Voltage.
Output Voltage Set-Point Adjustment (Trim)
Trimming allows the user to increase or decrease the
output voltage set point of a module. This is
accomplished by connecting an external resistor
between the TRIM pin and either the SENSE(+) or SENSE(-)
pins. The trim resistor should be positioned close to the
module.
If not using the trim feature, leave the TRIM pin open.
With an external resistor between the TRIM and SENSE(-)
pins (Radj-down), the output voltage set point (Vo,adj)
decreases (see Figure 36). The following equation
determines the required external resistor value to obtain
a percentage output voltage change of %.
