Would this be a good Powersupply for a PPA?

Overview

Manufacturer:
Power-One

Description:
POWER SUPPLIES, INTERNATIONAL LINEARS, 28V@0.5A


General Specifications. AC Input: 100/120/220/240 VAC +10%, –13%. 47-63 Hz. Tolerance for 230 VAC operation is +15%, –10%. Derate output current 10% for 50 Hz operation. Factory wired for 120 V operation. DC Output: Adjustment range ±5% minimum. Voltage nonadjustable on “3 terminal regulator” outputs of models HAD12, HAD15. Line Regulation: ±0.05% for a 10% line change. Exceptions — ±0.01% for F, G case models and CP197-A; ±1% for HAD12 and HAD15; ±0.5% for all other outputs using “3 terminal regulators.” Load Regulation: ±0.05% for 50% load change. Exceptions — ±0.02% for F, G case models and CP197-A; ±1% For HAD12 and HAD15; ±0.5% for all other outputs using “3 terminal regulators.” Output Ripple: 5 V through 15 V models — 5.0 mV PK-PK maximum (3.0 mV PK-PK maximum for F, G case models and CP197-A); 24 V through 250 V models — 3.0 mV PK-PK plus 0.02% of output voltage, maximum; All “3 terminal regulator” outputs — 0.2% PK-PK maximum. Transient Response: Less than 50 μsec for a 50% load change. Short Circuit and Overload Protection: Automatic current limit/foldback. Overvoltage Protection: Provided on 5 V outputs where indicated. Set at 6.2 V ±0.4 V. Other outputs use optional overvoltage protectors OVP12 and OVP14. Remote Sensing: See Voltage/Current Rating Charts. Provided on output where indicated. Stability: ±0.3% for 24 hours after warm-up. Operating Temperature Ratings: 0°C to 50°C full rated, derated linearly to 40% at 70°C (CP197-A requires 50 CFM forced air over heatsink area for full 50 A output). Storage Temperature Ratings: –40°C to 85°C. Temperature Coefficient: 0.01%/°C typical, 0.03%/°C maximum. Efficiency (Typical): 5 V outputs — 45%; 12 V and 15 V outputs — 55%; 24 V through 250 V outputs — 60%. Master/Slave Operation: Provided on F, G and CP197-A models only. For parallel operation of up to 6 units. Vibration: Random vibration from 10 Hz to 2 KHz, 6.15 g (3 axis). Shock: Operating 20G peak acceleration. EMI/RFI: These linear power supplies have inherently low conducted and radiated noise levels. For most system application they will meet the requirements of FCC Docket 20780 for Class B equipment and VDE 0871 for Class B. Safety Specifications. All models exceed the following safety standards. Leakage Current: Line to Ground (Max.) — 0.05 mA. Creepage Distance: Live Parts to Dead Metal (Min.) — 0.345" (9.0 mm). Dielectric Withstand Voltage (Min.): Input to Ground — 3750 V RMS ; Input to Outputs — 3750 VR

Thanks, it was more a curiosity thing as I ordered a STEPS board.

I was in the same boat once and ended up throwing a similar PSU in the trash because of the noise.

I'm surprised a PowerOne linear supply was really that bad. Is 4-5mV of power supply ripple audible? An outboard line filter would take care of any noise coming in from the wall. All the caps on the PPA should do decent job of filtering anything that's left.


As long as you have the time, I also recommend using a STEPS. The design works well. I have several.
