Mounting and Emissions Considerations (BP Series)

Bear Power Supplies BP Series Power Supplies are available in three configurations:

  • PCB-mountable with mini-IEC input connectors
  • PCB-mountable industry standard packages with 3-pin input
  • Chassis-mountable

Figure 1 shows the recommended connection setup for PCB-mountable BP Series power supplies with mini-IEC input connectors.  Using this connection scheme, the BP Series power supply supply measures well below the maximum limits for conducted emissions.

Figure 2 shows measured conducted emissions for the two-pin IEC input power supply (BP2).

Figure 3 shows measured conducted emissions for the three-pin IEC input power supply (BP3).

Similar results can be achieved with the industry standard package (BP1) and the chassis-mountable units (BP4, BP5 and BP6).  We recommend that the earth ground wire be tied to one of the secondary outputs.
