I — INTRODUCTION
SCOPE OF MANUAL. This instruction manual covers
the installation and operation of the Kepco JBW 50W
Series of RoHS (Reduction of Hazardous Substances)
compliant Switching Power Supplies.
DESCRIPTION. The Kepco JBW 50W Series consists of
four models of switching power supplies, each 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 50W Series employs a light weight ferrite core.
Regulation is provided by pulse width modulation. A FET
power stage, operating as a forward converter with a fixed
switching frequency of 140KHz provides a smooth isolated

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).
FIGURE 2. VENTILATION, INSULATION AND MOUNTING
DIRECTION
VENTILATION.
It is recommended to keep at least 0.40
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 P1 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.
