I — INTRODUCTION
SCOPE OF MANUAL. This instruction manual covers
the installation and operation of the Kepco JBW 15W
Series of RoHS (Reduction of Hazardous Substances)
compliant Switching Power Supplies.
DESCRIPTION. The Kepco JBW 15W Series consists of
four models of switching power supplies, with a single output as shown in Table 1. Units may be operated with a
nominal 100 to 120V a-c and 220 to 240V a-c (input voltage
range 85 to 265 Va-c), 50-60 Hz (input frequency range 47440Hz.) They will also operate on 110V to 370V d-c input.
The JBW 15W Series employs a light weight ferrite core
with a variable switching frequency. Regulation is provided
by pulse width modulation. A FET power stage, operating in

the ringing choke converter mode provides a smooth isolated d-c output. A thermistor circuit prevents excessive
turn-on current surge. Overvoltage protection is provided.
Current limiting with automatic recovery from short circuit is
featured. Units are manufactured on an open frame pc
board.
Table 1 contains specifications and operating limits of individual JBW 15W Series models. Section II (following) contains specifications and operating limits common to all JBW
15W Series Models.

OPERATING TEMPERATURE: -10 to 60°C (start up
-20 to -10°C). See the derating, Figure 1.
STORAGE TEMPERATURE: -30°C to + 75°C.
COOLING: Natural convection. Do not allow the power
supply to become dust covered because that will
decrease the cooling efficiency of the unit and cause insulation to deteriorate.

TRANSIENT RECOVERY: A step load change from
50% to 100% of rated load in 50 microseconds or more
produces no more than 4% output voltage excursion.
Temperature range from -10 to 50°C.
HOLD UP TIME: Upon input interruption the output is
maintained for 150 milliseconds typical with 240 Va-c
input voltage, and for 13 milliseconds typical with 100 Vac input voltage. The condition for output load is 100%.
START UP TIME:

See Table 1. The overvoltage circuit is set by Zener diode
clamp, latching could occur.
OVERCURRENT: Square type, output voltage returns
to rated level upon removal of cause of malfunction (long
term overcurrent could damage unit).

III — INSTALLATION
MOUNTING POWER SUPPLY: Refer to Figures 2
and 4. The unit may be mounted on one mounting surface.
The air surrounding the power supply must not exceed the
ambient values given in the graph in Figure 1.
INSULATION: Install unit 0.3 inches (8mm) away from
base with the use of 0.24 inch (6mm) diameter spacers
attached to the PC board. Keep at least 0.16 inches (4mm)
spacing around and above the unit to comply with insulation and safety requirements. An insulator must be used if
the spacing is less than 0.16 inches (4mm) (see Figure 2).
VENTILATION: It is recommended to keep at least 0.39
inches (10mm) clearance from adjacent equipment for
proper ventilation
CONNECTIONS: Connect the load to the power supply
by connecting the two (+) output wires from terminal block
TB2 to the load (+) terminal, and the two (–) output wires
from TB2 to the load (–) terminal. The AC input power is
applied via the terminal block TB1. Make sure to connect
the AC input Neutral and Line wires to the P2 and P3 pins
respectively of TB1 (see Figure 3). A Cable Kit (P/N 219-
0406) is available as an option from Kepco (see Figures 3
and 5). The kit includes an input cable, terminated on one
end with an input mating connector; and an output cable,
terminated on one end with an output mating connector.

IV — OPERATION
PROTECTION DIODE: When a number of power sup-
plies are operating in series, the current rating is to be limited to the rating of the power supply with the lowest rating.
A diode (Vr>2 Vo, If>2Io, Vf<< low) must be connected to
the power supply output terminals to protect the unit from
reverse voltage.
