CAE-APS-30

Description

All Cascade Audio Engineering APS Power Supplies feature temperature, overcurrent and reverse-polarity protection circuitry. They will provide stable regulated DC output voltage (13.6V or 14.2V, relative to jumper connection - The APS-100 is 13.4V only) regardless of the load by varying output current to compensate. AC input protection against damaging spikes of up to 190VAC and brown-out input protection are also provided. All APS Power Supplies feature an automatic, thermally triggered, current controlled fan (APS-90 and APS-100 have two). When the internal circuitry reaches a specified maximum operating temperature, the fan will turn on. The speed of the fan will vary with current draw. In an overcurrent condition (typically caused by use of an APS power Supply smaller than needed for a particular application), APS Models 75, 90 and 100 will automatically roll back current and voltage to prevent damage. Full power will be restored when the overcurrent condition is corrected. If an overcurrent condition is encountered with APS Models 15, 30, 45 and 55, and high current draw causes voltage to drop to approximately 2V, the fuse on the end panel of the power supply will blow. If the fuse blows repeatedly, contact Cascade Audio for assistance. All APS Power Supplies are protected against reverse-polarity connection by use of internal diodes. If the outputs are connected in reverse, the fuse(s) will blow to protect the unit.
