Description
The MELCHER Convert Select series represents a family of DIN-rail mountable DC-DC and AC-DC converters with power factor
correction. The converters have been designed according to the latest industry requirements and standards.
The converters are ideal for use in outdoor and other demanding applications to power building control systems, factory automation,
industrial controls, instrumentation, electromagnetic drives, fans, and other DC loads.
Dierentmodelsareavailablewithasingleoutputortwoindependentlyregulated,electricallyisolatedoutputswith12,24,36,or48V.
Specialmodelsforbatterychargingareavailable.TheEWmodelsareparticularlysuitablefor110Vrailwayapplications;theyhave
been designed in accordance with the railway standards EN 50155 and EN 50121.
Key features of the Convert Select line include power factor correction with low harmonic distortion, negligibly low inrush current, high
immunity to transients and surges, and low electromagnetic emissions. Internal protection circuits such as input over- and undervoltage

The outputs deliver an electrically-isolated Safety Extra Low Voltage (ES1) and low output noise. They are no-load, overload, and short-
circuitproof.Theelectronicallycontrolledshort-termpeakpowercapabilityofupto150%oftheratedoutputpowerenablesthefront
end converters to deliver additional power to start-up motors or to safely operate subsequent circuit breakers. Built-in large sized output
capacitors absorb possible reverse energy, which may be caused by quick deceleration of electromagnetic drives connected directly to
the output. A green LED at the front cover displays the status of the output(s).
The Convert Select Series was designed according to all relevant international safety standards. The converters are approved by Nemko

The thermal concept allows operation at full load up to an ambient temperature of 60 °C (LW models) or 70 °C (EW models) in free air
