1. Power Output and Energy Efficiency: Upgraded Output, Leapfrog Energy Efficiency

• Output Power and Margin:

The old model UE15WCP1 has an output power of 15W, while the new UES18LCP directly increases this to 18W, representing a 20% boost in power margin. This means the UES18LCP can provide more sufficient power reserves for medical equipment (such as endoscopes and laser therapy devices) and ITE equipment, easily meeting the requirements of multi-module concurrent power supply or peak power demand of devices.

• Energy Efficiency Level:

The UE15WCP1 complies with the fifth-level "Energy Star V2.0" energy efficiency standard, whereas the UES18LCP achieves Level 6 energy efficiency, with a further optimized energy efficiency ratio. In long-term full-load operation scenarios, the UES18LCP can reduce power loss, helping equipment operators save electricity costs while aligning with the global industry trend of green energy conservation.

2. Electrical Performance: Improved Precision, Enhanced Protection

• Output Precision and Ripple:

The UE15WCP1 has an output voltage precision of ±5% and an output ripple noise of 200mV. In contrast, the UES18LCP strictly controls its output voltage precision within ±1%, and offers superior ripple performance (specific ripple parameters depend on load conditions, but its electromagnetic compatibility performance is more outstanding based on design standards). For medical equipment with extremely high requirements for voltage stability (such as electrocardiographs and infusion pumps), the UES18LCP can effectively avoid the impact of voltage fluctuations on equipment precision and reliability.

• Protection Mechanisms:

The UES18LCP is equipped with three enhanced protection functions: overload protection (automatic recovery at 120-150% of the rated output power), overvoltage protection (cycle input reset and disconnection at 120-150% of the rated output power), and short-circuit protection. Compared with the relatively single protection mechanism of the UE15WCP1, the UES18LCP can protect load equipment more intelligently and reliably under abnormal working conditions, reducing the risk of equipment damage.

3. Reliability and Environmental Adaptability: Extended Lifespan, Expanded Application Scenarios

• Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF):

At an ambient temperature of 25°C, the UE15WCP1 has an average mean time between failures of 50,000 hours under load operation. The UES18LCP, however, breaks this limit to >100,000 hours (also based on the MIL-HDBK-217 standard at 25°C ambient temperature), doubling the lifespan. This means the UES18LCP can significantly reduce equipment maintenance frequency and after-sales costs, making it particularly suitable for long-term medical operation scenarios with strict reliability requirements.

• Environmental Condition Adaptability:

4. Certification Compliance and Safety Level: Medical-Grade Protection, More Comprehensive Global Certifications

• Medical Safety Certification:

The UES18LCP is equipped with 2 MOPP (Means of Patient Protection) isolation protection, with a leakage current of ≤100μA, fully meeting the high safety requirements of medical equipment. In contrast, the UE15WCP1 does not explicitly mention the MOPP protection level. In the medical field, MOPP protection is a key indicator to prevent electric shock risks between patients and equipment, and the UES18LCP can provide more reliable electrical isolation protection for medical equipment.

• Global Certification Coverage:

The UE15WCP1 has certifications including UL, TUV, CB, CCC, C-Tick, and GS. Building on this foundation, the UES18LCP adds specialized medical certifications such as IEC60601-1, ANSI/AAMI ES60601-11, EN60601-1-2, and EN60601-1-11, as well as advanced certifications in the communication and ITE fields such as EN62368-1 and IEC60950-1. For medical and ITE equipment manufacturers who need to sell their products globally, the UES18LCP can shorten the certification cycle, reduce certification costs, and accelerate the global layout of their products.

5. Structure and Adaptability: Modular Design, Multi-Scenario Compatibility

• Shape and Interface:

The UES18LCP has an external dimension of 88(L)×30(W)×57(H)mm, which differs from that of the UE15WCP1. However, it adopts a variety of replaceable AC plugs (covering US standard, EU standard, UK standard, Australia standard, and China standard), enabling quick adaptation to the power grid interface standards of different regions around the world. At the same time, it supports customization of DC wires and connectors, which can flexibly match the power supply interface requirements of the equipment side.

• Standby Power Consumption:

The UE15WCP1 has a no-load power consumption of 0.3W, while the UES18LCP has a standby power consumption of ≤0.075W, which is much lower than that of the former. In the standby mode of the equipment, it can further reduce energy consumption, conforming to the "green standby" design concept of modern equipment.

In conclusion, as an upgraded and iterative model of the UE15WCP1, the UES18LCP has achieved leapfrog improvements in power output, energy efficiency, reliability, medical safety, and global certification. For medical equipment manufacturers and ITE equipment developers, choosing the UES18LCP not only provides more powerful power supply performance but also helps gain an advantage in product safety, compliance, and global market access. It is an optimal choice for power supply upgrade and replacement.
