IBX15 Series

Boost Converters

© 2021 Bel Power Solutions & Protection

Installation Instructions

Connection to the system shall be made via a printed circuit board with hole diameters of 1.5 mm for the pins.

The converter must be connected to a secondary circuit.

Do not open the converter!

Ensure that a converter failure (e.g. by an internal short-circuit) does not result in hazardous conditions.

Note: To prevent excessive current flowing through the input supply lines in case of a malfunction an external fuse should be installed in a

non-earthed input supply line; see table 3.

Standards, Approvals, Isolation

The converters have been approved according to the latest edition of IEC/EN 62368-1 and UL/CSA 60950-1. The CE mark is fitted.

All pins are tested against the case with 1500 VAC (2120 VDC) for ≥1 s as routine test in the factory according to EN 62911 and

IEC/EN 60950.

CB scheme is available.

Railway Applications

To comply with railway standards, all components are coated with a protective lacquer (except option Z).

Protection Degree and Cleaning Liquids

The protection degree of the converters is IP 40, except open-frame models (option Z).

In order to avoid possible damage, any penetration of cleaning fluids should be prevented, since the converters are not hermeti-

cally sealed.

However, open-frame models (option Z) leave the factory unlacquered; they may be lacquered by the customer, for instance

together with the mother board. Cleaning liquids are not permitted – except washing at room temperature with isopropyl alcohol

and de-inonized/destilled water (1 : 1).

The mother board can also be cleaned, before fitting the open-frame converter.

Note: Other cleaning liquids may damage the adhesive joints of the ferrite cores.

Options

Option Z: Open-frame model (no case).
