Platform Identification Help

[Tator Tot]

I'd hate to ask, but is this a "custom" job from CWT? It's nothing I'm familiar with.
It's not from the normal low end pickings of PUF/PUF-P, DSA/DSA-II, or GPA/GPB.

CWT stopped its half bridge line 2 years ago. I can't even get a picture of CWT's any half bridge platform.

Good luck finding the answer.

Well the hope is that someone will have this guy in memory.

It's a half bridge unit from CWT (you can tell because of the flyback transformer), I think it's part of their ISO line. I had a broadway comm corp 550W unit that looked quite similar internally that was made by CWT.

Yep, I knew it was a CWT Half-Bridge; just nothing that I'm familiar with.

Apparently this guy is capable of "500w" and "600w" at 35/43A (12v) respectively, and 50*C.

two big caps is nice for a 500w

They look to be High Voltage / Low Capacitance caps. So nothing that special.

400v / 220uF probably.

Well, if it's half bridge, then that's certainly not really special.

BTW TT has something much cooler up their sleeve, apparently:

Does it look familiar?

Yeah, I already saw the Berlin, Hamburg, & Munich.

Berlin is only the special one though.

Hamburg & Munich are just low end HEC units. In fact, it's the same platform used inside the Be Quiet! L8 530w/630w/730w CM units. Just in 430w & 530w flavors.

Oh dear...

I think that picture is not right, it's definitely a picture of a Dark Power Pro P8 or P9 unit in that picture...

That should not be, I think that should be corrected.

Well, no, that should not be!

The plattform used inside our L8 models (and L7 630/730W) is exclusively made for us.

here a link to a thread where you could see the inside of the new L7 and L8-CM Units
