NV175 HIALT Handbook
Customer Air Cooling (open frame, options C and U):
The following method must be used for determining the safe operation of PSUs.
The components listed in the following table must not exceed the temperatures given. To determine the component
temperatures the heating tests must be conducted in accordance with the requirements of the standard in question.
Consideration should also be given to the requirements of other safety standards. Test requirements include: PSU to
be fitted in its end-use equipment and operated under the most adverse conditions permitted in the end-use
equipment handbook/specification and which will result in the highest temperatures in the PSU. To determine the
most adverse conditions consideration should be given to the end use equipment maximum operating ambient, the
PSU loading and input voltage, ventilation, end use equipment orientation, the position of doors & covers, etc.
Temperatures should be monitored using type K fine wire thermocouples (secured with cyanoacrylate adhesive, or
similar) placed on the hottest part of the component (out of any direct airflow) and the equipment should be run until
all temperatures have stabilised.
