The International Series BVA
The BVA series is the premium grade, open frame line of linear DC power supplies. Designed to operate over a wide range of AC power sources found worldwide, the BVA series is especially suited to OEM applications where cost savings is a significant factor. The field selectable universal input (100/117/220/230-240 VAC) reduces your inventory cost by allowing you to use just one standard model regardless of destination.

Specifications

AC Input:
Standard models: field selectable taps for 100/117/220/230-240 VAC ±10%; 47-63 Hz. For 50 Hz operation derate output by 10%.
"480" models:208/240/480 VAC ±10%; 47-63 Hz.
See chassis ID label for jumper and line fusing requirements.

DC Output:
See Selection guide for voltage / current ratings. The output is floating; either positive or negative terminal can be grounded. Output range is ±10%, except variable 10-18V outputs.

Line Regulation:
±0.05% for 10% line change

Load Regulation:
±0.05% for 50% load change

Thermal Regulation:
±0.02% per °C maximum, ±0.005% per °C typical

Output Ripple:
2 mV RMS maximum, 3 mV P-P

Dynamic Response:
30 µS for 50% load change

Stability:
±0.3% for 24 hour period after 1 hour warm-up

Short Circuit and Overload Protection:
Feedback current limiting, set at 120% of nominal

Overvoltage Protection:
Crowbar overvoltage protection is standard on all 5VDC main outputs and is factory set at 6.2V±0.4V (fixed). Optional OVP module adjustable from 4.5 to 36V is available for other models.

Remote Sensing:
Standard on all models above 30 watts. Remote sensing will compensate for a cable drop of 0.25V. Protected against open or shorted sense leads. Twisted pair sense leads are recommended.

Efficiency:
5V units: 45%; 12 and 15V units: 55%; 24V and higher units: 60%

Operating Temperature:
0°C to 50°C full rated load, derate linearly to 40% at 70°C. See derating chart.

Storage Temperature:
-55°C to +85°C

Vibration:
Per MIL-STD-810B, Method 514, Procedure 1, Curve AB (to 50 Hz)

Shock:
Per MIL-STD-810B, Method 516, Procedure V

Safety Standards:
UL, CSA and CE Recognized (480 VAC Input Models are designed to meet)

Finish:
Clear aluminum chassis. Chassis also serves as heat sink.

Mounting:
Units can be mounted on several surfaces. Mounting holes will accept "press-fit" #6-32 threaded fasteners. For efficient cooling, allow unrestricted air flow. Forced air cooling may be recommended.
