Choosing the right power supply for medical equipment is a crucial and critical task.

Published: 30 November 2020

Over time, safety and environmental standards have been changed for the benefit of all in the medical industry. Here at Components Bureau we can help you decide on the most efficient power choice for your application.

Medical power supplies are used in multiple medical equipment applications including MRI, X-ray, CT and PET scanners, DNA equipment, ultrasound, diagnostic equipment and automated pharmaceutical dispensers.

There is a trend for all medical equipment to make them compact, light-weight and efficient.

All medical equipment has to meet a set of safety standards that keep the patient and the operator safe.  

Why Choose a Modular and Configurable Power Supply?

Published: 19 November 2020

For any complex, sensitive or critical application; configurable and modular supplies  can play a vital role in the overall system  and can provide greater flexibility for the overall design. Modular and configurable power supplies provide a vast array of outputs using commercial, off the shelf building blocks, delivering a custom solution from proven, standard, stocked modules. Custom designs can be delivered in days rather than weeks or months.

WHAT IS CONDUCTION COOLED POWER?

Published: 19 November 2020

The transfer of energy from one atom to another through physical contact is generally termed as conduction. Conduction based power supplies remove the need to depend upon fans for cooling. These devices utilise external metal structures, which act as a large heat sink surface for dissipation of internal energy. In some power supplies, liquid cooled plates are made up of serpentine channels through which liquid circulates for removing the unwanted heat. The conduction process is generally classified into three categories: Ionic Conduction, Electric Conduction and Heat Conduction.
