    ­1 watt DC/DC converters with 480 VAC isolation voltage

    TRACO POWER’s new TRI 1 and TRI 1SM

      The core characteristic of the TRI 1(SM) series is a sophisticated reinforced isolation system which is able to withstand high test voltages (8000 VDC for 1s and 3000 VAC for 60s) and working voltages (480 VACrms). Efficiencies up to 84% allow safe operation from –40°C to +85°C without derating.
