With the rapid development of technology in the modern world, the demand for power and electricity is ever increasing. The traditional single- or two-phase power supply system’s become unreliable during phase loss events affecting the equipment and system operations.

To mitigate the risk of phase loss, today's system designers are replacing the traditional single- and two-phase systems with a three-phase four-wire distribution system. This system has a higher voltage range, higher power factor and is capable of supplying power even during phase loss events. Certain critical equipment may be deployed only if powered by a three-phase power supply system.

The three-phase four-wire working voltage may vary depending on the region and country. For example, the voltages for a three-phase four-wire system in Russia or China are 380VAC while in America or the UK are 480VAC. The standard 85-264VAC input voltage range power supplies cannot meet the demands of these systems and there is a need for an AC-DC power supply that can operate with both the single-phase or three-phase input voltage range from 100VAC to 480VAC.

Aimtec has designed and developed a series of switch-mode power supplies that offer an ultra-wide input voltage range of 90VAC ~ 528VAC in the 1 Watt to 20 Watt power range. Swiss Replica Watches

These AC to DC converters offer lower standby power consumption, compact size and high efficiencies which can result in potential energy savings. The converters meet the requirements of EMC Level IV and are ideal for many applications such as energy management systems, digital substations, distribution networks, industrial automation, etc.

Simplifying rectification circuit and configuration:

The rectification circuit then will be a simpler cost-effective solution to connect the Aimtec converters to the 3-phase 4-wire systems. Below is the recommended rectification circuit that is compatible with the three-phase four-wire system. Even during phase loss events, the circuit will keep operating and supplying the power to the AC to DC converter.

The three-phase four-wire power distribution systems are more commonly used in today’s industrial applications that require operating with any two wires to achieve the rated voltage of 380/480VAC (three-phase four-wire).

These systems are required to provide reliable uninterrupted supply during failure events where two phases drop off or have intermittent issues thus offering a very reliable power supply.
