1.2 Considerations

Unless otherwise indicated, all measurements were done with 24-V input voltage and 50-A output current.

The load used was an electronic load TDI RBL100-120-800, limited to 800 WMAX, squeezed up to 828 W; the source was the SMPS Agilent 6574A, limited to a maximum 35-A input current, squeezed up to 35.8 A.

Efficiency and thermal image measurements up to 60-A continuous current are provided, but with a proper thermal interface there is still some headroom left – the current limitation trips at around 70 A.

Unless otherwise indicated, an air flow of 0.5 meters per second (m/s) to 1 m/s was used for the first measurements.


            
CAUTION: Make sure the wiring is properly connected. The output current can
                be as high as 60 A and the input current can be as high as 30 A.

WARNING:  A 16-mm2
                cable cross section still gets warm and provides a minor voltage drop. Always wear
                eye protection when working with this reference design, and do not wear watches or
                rings.
