Advanced Energy Introduces Ultra-Compact, High-Efficiency Medically-Certified Power Supplies for BF Applications

DENVER, Colo., December 16, 2021 — Advanced Energy (Nasdaq: AEIS) – a global leader in highly engineered, precision power conversion, measurement and control solutions – launched the Excelsys Xsolo XB1000 series. The ultra-compact single-output AC-DC power supplies for Type BF medical applications feature market-leading 92% efficiency and user-defined output setpoint voltages.

XB1000 power supplies have the safety approvals required to simplify and speed the development and certification of a wide range of applications, including acoustically sensitive laboratory and medical systems requiring Type B (body) and Type BF (body floating) ratings.

“Medical equipment used for imaging, electrosurgery and treatment are required to meet stringent safety requirements,” said Conor Duffy, vice president, medical at Advanced Energy. “By streamlining compliance with regulatory requirements for Type BF applications, the XB1000 helps system designers more easily attain safety certification for their medical equipment which reduces time-to-market.”

The XB1000 n a compact 1U package, with maximum output power up to 1000 W with output voltages in 24 or 48 V. Meeting the stringent creepage and clearance requirements for medical applications, the XB1000 provides 4 kVAC isolation, 2 MOPP, as well as the low leakage currents required for Body Floating (BF) applications. Full international medical safety certifications include UL/EN60601-1 3rd Edition.

Designed for optimum flexibility, the new power supplies combine user-defined output setpoint voltages with wide adjustment ranges and features such as variable fan speed, output voltage and current control. The ability to operate the supplies in parallel allows users to scale system power for applications requiring ratings beyond 1000 W. Optional PMBus™ communications based on the I2C protocol equip users with an intelligent digital platform to monitor power supply performance.
