The EPL225 series maximises efficiency across the load range and minimises no load power
consumption minimising heat dissipation, reducing running costs and enabling compliance with the
latest environmental goals and legislation. Fully approved for ITE and Industrial applications the
EPL225 provides up to 150W when convection cooled and up to 225 W when force cooled at just
10 CFM. A 12 V 0.5 A fan supply is included to support force cooled applications. The small footprint, low profile, low noise and comprehensive
safety agency approvals allow this versatile product to be used in a wide range of ITE and industrial applications with either Class I or Class II earth
arrangements.

Estimated Service Life vs Component Temperature
In order to ensure safe operation of the PSU in the end-use equipment, the temperature of the components listed in the table below
must not be exceeded. Temperature should be monitored using thermocouples placed on the hottest part of the component
(out of direct air flow). See Mechanical Details for component locations.
The estimated service life of the EPL225 is determined by the cooling arrangements and load conditions experienced in the end
application. Due to the uncertain nature of the end application this estimated service life is based on the actual measured temperature of
key capacitors with in the product when installed by the end application,
The graph below expresses the estimated lifetime based on the temperature of these key components based on the average temperature
over the lifetime of the equipment.
