Today marks a significant advancement in power solutions with the launch of our new ATCW40 Series Power Module, a ground-breaking product engineered to redefine reliability and safety in the most demanding electrical environments. At the heart of this innovation is its compliance with Over-Voltage Category IV (OVC IV), setting a new benchmark for performance and protection.

What is the ATCW40 Series?

The ATCW40 Series is a robust and highly efficient power module designed for universal application, accepting an input range of 90-330VAC at 47-440 Hz. Available in various output voltages—5V, 12V, 15V, 24V, and 48V—it offers a versatile solution for a wide array of industrial and infrastructure needs.

Key Features of the ATCW40 Series:

  • Universal Input Range: 90-330VAC, 47-440 Hz, ensuring broad compatibility.
  • High I/O Isolation: Boasting an impressive 5700VAC isolation, it provides superior protection against electrical hazards.
  • Wide Operating Temperature: Designed to perform flawlessly in extreme conditions, from -40°C to +70°C.
  • Ultra-Low No Load Power Consumption: At less than 0.1W (except 48S), it promotes energy efficiency.
  • High Efficiency: Achieves up to 89% efficiency, minimizing energy waste.
  • Isolation Class II: Further enhancing user and equipment safety.
  • EMC Compliant: Meets rigorous electromagnetic compatibility standards without the need for external components, simplifying integration.
  • Safety Approved: Certified to UL / IEC / EN 62368-1, guaranteeing adherence to international safety regulations.
  • 3-Year Product Warranty: A testament to its durable design and our commitment to quality.

The Power of OVC IV: Unmatched Protection at the Grid Edge

The standout feature of the ATCW40 Series is its Over-Voltage Category OVC IV compliance. This critical designation signifies its capability to operate safely and reliably even at the most vulnerable points in an electrical installation.

Understanding OVC IV:

Over-Voltage Category IV (OVC IV) is the highest classification defined by international standards like IEC 60664-1 and IEC 62368-1. It applies to equipment intended for installation at or near the origin of a building’s electrical supply—such as utility transformers, electricity meters, main fusing, and primary distribution panels. These locations are susceptible to the highest levels of transient overvoltage and short-circuit currents, often stemming from external events like lightning strikes or significant load changes within the utility network.

Why OVC IV Matters for the ATCW40 Series:

  • Superior Safety and Robustness: By designing the ATCW40 Series to OVC IV standards, we ensure it can withstand extreme impulse voltages and surges that would overwhelm lesser-rated equipment. This provides an unparalleled level of safety for both the equipment and the overall electrical system it supports.
  • Direct Grid Connection: The OVC IV rating means the ATCW40 can be connected directly to the public power distribution network, upstream of the consumer unit. This eliminates the need for additional, costly, and bulky isolation or protective transformers, simplifying installation, reducing bill of materials (BOM), and enhancing overall system reliability.
  • Ideal for Critical Infrastructure: Its ability to perform reliably in environments with severe transient over voltages makes the ATCW40 Series perfect for critical infrastructure applications such as smart city systems, utility metering equipment, and industrial controls where uninterrupted operation and maximum safety are paramount.

The ATCW40 Series – OVC IV Power Module is more than just a component; it’s a commitment to safety, efficiency, and uncompromising performance, particularly for applications at the very front of your electrical infrastructure. Experience the difference of true OVC IV compliance, delivering peace of mind and robust power where it’s needed most.
