27.Why using Reign Power Intelligent Power Supply?
Traditionally, Power Supply could only have a passive output of high-tension supply. And the precision equipment must be sure has the percentage of reliable.
The reason why that needs to avoid to waste of the efficiency and the cost, because it must measure output voltage, current, running temperature and running
time by measuring instrument, when for maintainability.
Details
26.Why the label of AC input rage show 100~240VAC, but the specification show as 90~264VAC?
Because of
Electric safety approval (such as UL) MUST follow its rule (the rate of input
range is + -10%), therefore the label only shows as 100V~ 240V.
And the
specification shows as 90V~ 264V.
25. Why power supply shut down when using on the servomotor application?
Reign Power provides RP1200M series, in has the owner-use circuit to be allowed to overcome this kind of use question.
24.Why the input voltage marked on the spec. sheet is 88~264 VAC while
that it is 100~240VAC?
During safety
verification process, the agent will use a stricter standard -- 10% (IEC60950
uses +6%, -10%) of the input voltage range labeled
on the power supply to
make the test. So, the wider input voltage range specified on the spec. sheet
should be fine while operating. The narrower range
of input voltage labeled
on the power supply is to fulfill the test standard of safety regulation and
make sure that users insert input voltage correctly.
23.The output ground (GND) and frame ground (FG) is the same point in my system, can REIGN POWER's
power supplies use in such system?
Yes. Since our
products are designed based on isolation concept, it will be no problem that
the output ground (GND) and frame ground
(FG) is the same point in
your system.

22.Will REIGN POWER's products with CE marking meet the EMC requirements without fail after assembling
into my system?
We cannot 100%
guarantee that the final system can still meet the EMC requirements. The
location, wiring and grounding of the switching
power supply in the system
may influence its EMC characteristics. In different environment or
applications, same switching power supply
may have different outcomes.
21.Why the output voltage of +12V channel in RP40501SV is lower than the range defined in the spec. sheet?
Because of the
cost and market concern, multiple-output S.P.S. usually only has one control
(feedback) loop. Since RP40501SV uses
+5V channel as the control target,
if there's heavy load at the +12V channel, the output voltage of the +12V
channel will be lower than
the lower bound of the spec. sheet. If
load of the +5V channel is more than 0.5A (as the lower bound of current range
mentioned in
the spec.), the output voltage of +12V channel can maintain
in the range specified in the spec. sheet.
ˇ@
20. When testing the RP20351SV , the +5V channel is correct, but the +12V channel is over the specification.
What is going on?
There are some
minimum-load requirements on REIGN POWER's multi-output power supplies, please
refer to the specification first
before connecting the load. When the load
condition is 5V/ 4A , 12V/ 0A , the output voltage of the 12V channel will be
around 12.8V
that is over the 6% of voltage deviation (12.72V) specified
in the spec. sheet. If we add in the minimum load 0.2A to the 12V channel,
the 12V channel will reduce to around 12.3V which is within the
specification.

19.During the operation of REIGN POWER's power supply, there is some leakage current on the case. Is this normal?
Will this leakage current hurt human body?
Due to the
design of EMI, there will be some Y capacitors between line and neutral to the
FG (case) to improve EMC. For example, IEC-60950 requires that this current should
less than 3.5 mA for information equipment, so basically the leakage current
Yes, but be
careful that if the voltage of the battery is higher than the power supply,
the power will flow from the battery No, you can not
do this connection because RP1320-XXC doesn't operation. When two power
supplies connecting in YES, basically
you can do this alternative to get the right output voltage, but be careful
that the rating output current of REIGN POWER's
power supply can be used within this frequency range. But if the frequency is
too low, the efficiency In general
there are two circumstances that the power supply will be shut down. The first
one is the activation of Some models
control the fan based on internal temperature to extend its lifetime. If the
internal temperature does not If you connect
the S.P.S. to motors, lighting bulbs, or high capacitive loads, you will have
a high output surge current A. To increase
the lifetime of the S.P.S., we suggest users choosing the model that has the
rating of 30% more power than The switching
power supply life cycle can be effect by the temperature and the fan
conditions. Temperature condition Normally we
only ship S.P.S. WITH safety verification to Europe and North America .
(European customers will ask From Jan 1st ,
2001 European Union officially has the detailed standard to the electronic
installation overtone, to It is safety
standard certification. We also called it as SAFETY in short form. There are
different standards of At input side,
there will be an instant (1/2 ~1 cycle, ex. 1/120 ~ 1/60 seconds for 60 Hz AC
source) large current The harmonic is
one kind of noise form. Basically is the frequency which becomes by

earth ground).
you find on the case will not hurt human body.
18.Can we use the REIGN POWER's power as a battery charger?
side to switching power supply and
damage it. We suggest adding a blocking diode in series of the positive output
to protect
the RP1050-XXSV. Also, be careful about the heat problem of this
blocking diode. Moreover because charges time can make
way closes the
power source overload work and if model is using non fan then addition fan
cooled need to be installed. If
it's fan cooled model then allow us to
revise reduce the over-load protection spot to guarantee the product
security.
17. If we need a 600W output, can we use two RP1320-XXC connecting in
parallel?
parallel, the one with higher output voltage will
share more loading and deliver more (even "all") power to the load
and
cause these two power supplies unbalance. We suggest using RP1240D series that
equip with the function of parallel
operation.
16.If we need a 96V output power supply, but REIGN POWER does not have
this model, can we
use two 48V power supplies connecting in series instead of one 96V
power supply?
the series system should be the rating
of the minimum one in these series power supplies.
15.Can REIGN POWER's power supply be used in the range of 45Hz ~ 440Hz?
If YES, is there
anything special will happen ?
will also be lower. For example, when a RP1320-24C
is operated under 230VAC and rated load, if the frequency of AC
input is
60 Hz, the efficiency is around 84%; however, if the frequency of AC input
reduces to 50 Hz, the efficiency will
be around 83.8%. Besides, if the
frequency is too high, the power factor of the S.P.S. with PFC (power factor
correction)
function will reduce and this also will cause higher leakage
current. For example, when a RP1320-24C is operated under
230VAC and rated
load, if the frequency of AC input is 60 Hz, the power factor is 0.95 and the
leakage current is around
0.72mA; however, if the frequency of AC input
increase to 440 Hz, the power factor will decrease to 0.78 and the leakage
current will rise to around 4.2mA.
14.Why my power supply shuts down during operation and after turning it
off, I can restart the
power supply again ?
the over-load-protection (OLP). To deal with this
situation, we suggest increasing the rating of the output power
or
modifying the OLP point. The second one is the activation of over-temperature
protection (OTP) when the
internal temperature reaches the pre-set value.
All of these conditions will let the S.P.S. enter protection mode
and
shut down. After these conditions released, the S.P.S. will be
back to normal.
13.Why the fan is not running when turning on certain
models?
reach the preset value, the fan will remain
steady until receiving the start up signal.
12. Why I can not turn on the power supply smoothly ?
when you turn on the S.P.S. and this high
surge current will cause the failure of start up. We suggest using S.P.S. with
constant current limiting protection to deal with these loads.
11.Notes on choosing a switching power supply?
actual need. For example, if the system
needs a 100W source, we suggest that users may choose a S.P.S. with 130W of
output power or more. By doing this, you can effectively boost the
lifetime of the S.P.S. in your system.
B. We also need to consider
about ambient temperature of the S.P.S. and whether there is additional
equipment for
dissipating the heat. If the S.P.S. is working in a high
temperature environment, we need to make some derating to the
output
power. The derating curve of "ambient temperature" versus "output power" can
be found on Reign Power's web site .
C. Choosing all kinds of function
based on your application: Protection function: Over Voltage Protection
(OVP),
Over Temperature Protection (OVP) Over Load Protection (OLP), etc.
Application function: Signaling Function
(Power Good, Power Fail), Remote
Control, Remote Sensing, etc Special function: Power Factor Correction (PFC),
Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) function.
D. Make sure that the
model qualifies for the verification of safety standards and EMC regulations
you need.
10.Which factors decision switching power supply life circle?
is controlled by room temperature
and power supply Leaves the gusty area is unobstructed or not. The other
condition
included the low wattage power supply will cause the
temperature enhancement this will shorten the power supply life
cycle. As
for Fan conditions besides the brand name of the fan effects the power supply
life cycle also the dusts in the
environment will also reduce the power
supply life cycle. Because the electrolysis electric capacitor is the life
shortest in
all components of a power supply, it is very important to
choose electrolysis electric capacitor for non fan power supply.
9. Can we export S.P.S. without safety verification to Europe and
North America?
for CE mark while US customers will ask for
UL mark.) If the customer did not request the safety marking, please
reconfirm the customer for this non-safety-verified S.P.S. to prevent the
return in the future.
8.Which countries has to stipulate PFC is the electronic installation
standard equipment?
stipulates above mains input 75W the electronic
installation product, all has to pass [EN61000-3-2 (power line
harmonics)]
the harmonic tests and this has became effective in all European unions
countries to import into these
countries all need to match this standard.
In China from May,2005 PFC regards as the standard function which the
electron provides.
7.What is safety approval and its advantage?
switching power supply safety approvals and every
country requires different standard of safety. Safety also has
different
types for example USA is using UL, Canada is using CSA and TUV, VDE are used
in Europe, other than
these are CB is used in Australia, US and
European markets, China is using CCC. Manufacture will have label of
safety stick on the each power supply enclosure for customers reference
and to avoid forge. Simply speaking,
safety test is in normal and is not
normal (any situation) the behavior in service down uses this product to test
if
cause the damage to the human body (for example leakage or detonation
and so on). Because power source in
use time can produce the heat
generation P/S design is not only can create the system the injury but also
cause
series damage to human bodies.
6.What is "Inrush Current"? Is there anything we should notice?
(20~ 60A based on the design of S.P.S., please refer
to the spec. sheet) appears at the moment of power on and
then back to
normal rating. This "Inrush Current" will appear every time you turn on the
power. Although it will
not damage the power supply, we suggest you not to
turn on/off the power supply very quickly in the short time.
Besides, if
there are several power supplies turning on at the same time, the dispatching
system of AC source may
shut off and go into protection mode because of
the huge inrush current. It is suggested that these power supplies
should
start up one by one or use the remote control function of S.P.S. to turn them
on/off.
5.What is harmonic?
compound 60 circulation sine wave combination creates. Power source
supply to exchange
when the overtone can twist the basic sine wave, wave
mode to have the distortion and also
can create the high electric current
in the identical system power line.
4.Why we need PFC ?
A. can fully uses the power source the plant capacity
B.
reduces the harmonic components
C. cut the peak power
The improvement
power factor may the effective use electric power, also may reduce between the
equipment to
penetrate the power line the disturbance.
3.What is PFC?
with in ratio of
the apparent power which LOADING POINT TO MEASURE Therefore the
power
factor is higher (CLOSE TO 1) means the higher on behalf of the electric power
use
factor the electric power then reduces the senseless loss in the
transmission process.
2.Notes on choosing a switching power supply? What is redundant
function? What's the advantage?
This usually causes the unremarkable business
costs lost and data lost. To avoid and improve the reliability of power
supply itself, Reign Power in Taiwan has developed the redundant and Rdy
signals functions Details
Therefore, Power factor rating
increase (when reach closely 1) ,indicate the electrical
energy-efficiency
is highly utilization, so reduce the unexpected lost during electricity
transmission
1.The LP Din Rail Power Supply series that emphasize in ˇuEnergy
Conservationˇv, What is the influence to users??
besides , the most important thing is to choose appropriate power supply.
If the power supply could not comply with the required rules of Energy
Conservation. Then the product could not be approved the Energy Conservation
Certifications.
2:The Regulations of Energy Conservation there has ErP
Standard in European and 80 Plus in America.
LP Din Rail series comply with these strict regulations.
