Many defense applications require power supplies to operate with limited or no ventilation cooling. In this respect, we are referring to those operating in harsh environments where electronic equipment is installed in a sealed box, such as radio communication systems subject to adverse weather conditions, outdoor surveillance and access control, and indoor equipment with very strict audible noise restrictions. In addition to environmental requirements, reliability and cost of maintenance are motivating systems designers not to use fans and blowers, privileging conduction cooling enclosed in a box that offers an ingress protection level of IP65 (Dust tight and protected against water jets).

Conduction cooling requires very specific building practices and the ECD1000A has been designed to guarantee optimal heat transfer from the dissipating components to the baseplate, delivering a high level of performance within an operating temperature of -40 to 75 degrees centigrade at the baseplate. Depending on the assembly method and the overall cooling conditions, a derating may apply as specified in the technical documentation.
