SWITCHING POWER SUPPLY
I — INTRODUCTION
SCOPE OF MANUAL. This instruction manual covers the installation and operation of the Kepco MTW 15W Switching Power Supply,
Model MTW 15-51212K.
DESCRIPTION. The Kepco MTW 15W is a PC card style, triple-output switching power supply. 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 47-440Hz). They will also operate on
110V to 370V d-c input. The MTW 15W employs a light weight ferrite core with 30-250 KHz switching frequency. Regulation is provided by
pulse width modulation. Integral regulator chips provide smooth isolated d-c outputs. A trimmer provides fine adjustment of the 5V output. The
±12V outputs have a common return. DC Output power is shared between +5V, +12V and -12V (15W max. total). A thermistor circuit prevents
excessive turn-on current surge. Overvoltage protection is provided. Overcurrent protection with automatic recovery from short circuit is featured. A steel cover (Model CA 39) is available as an option.
Table 1 contains output specifications. Section II (following) contains specifications and operating limits.

INPUT CURRENT: (maximum load at 25°C with nominal output voltage):
0.42A typ. (100 Va-c input, 100% load); 0.25A typ. (240 Va-c input, 100% load)
INPUT PROTECTION AND SOFT START: A thermistor circuit reduces start-up surge. Units are protected against shorts by an input
fuse. Fuse value 2A, 250V.
INPUT SURGE: First surge only, not including current flow into EMI filter.
25A typ. (100 V a-c, 100% load, 25°C cold start); 50A typ. (240 Va-c, 100% load, 25°C cold start)
LEAKAGE CURRENT:

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 60°C.
OUTPUT HOLDING TIME: Upon input interruption the output is maintained for 150 milliseconds typical with 240 Va-c input voltage,
and for 20 milliseconds typical with 100 Va-c input voltage. The condition for output load is 100%.
START UP TIME: 100mS max. (+5V, ±12V) at 100 Va-c, Output voltage may not rise with constant current load. .
