The recommended components for this stage are two ferrite coils, two ceramic capacitors (Y capacitors, usually blue), one metalized polyester capacitor (X capacitor), and one MOV (Metal-Oxide Varistor). Very low-end power supplies use fewer components, usually removing the MOV and the first coil. In the transient filtering stage, this power supply has two Y capacitors, one X capacitor, and one ferrite coil more than the minimum required, but it doesn t have an MOV, which is in charge of removing spikes coming from the power grid. However, according to FSP, the design used by this power supply doesn t require an MOV.

For a better understanding, please read our Anatomy of Switching Power Supplies tutorial. This power supply uses one GBU1506 rectifying bridge, which is attached to an individual heatsink. This bridge supports up to 15 A at 100º C. So, in theory, you would be able to pull up to 1,725 W from a 115 V power grid. Assuming 80% efficiency, this bridge would allow this unit to deliver up to 1,380 W without burning itself. Of course, we are only talking about this component. The real limit will depend on all the other components in this power supply.

Figure 11: Rectifying bridge The active PFC circuit uses two JCS18N50FH MOSFETs, each supporting up to 18 A at 25º C or 11 A at 100º C in continuous mode (see the difference temperature makes) or 72 A at 25º C in pulse mode. These transistors present a maximum 270 mω resistance when turned on, a characteristic called RDS(on). The lower the number the better, meaning that the transistor will waste less power, and the power supply will have a higher efficiency. The output of the active PFC circuit is filtered by one 330 µf x 420 V electrolytic capacitor, from Teapo, labeled at 85º C.

Also, this power supply uses a DC-DC design, meaning that it is basically a +12 V power supply, with the +5 V and +3.3 V outputs being generated through two smaller switching power supplies connected to the +12 V rail. Both designs are used to increase efficiency. The +12 V output uses two IPP057N06N MOSFETs, each supporting up to 45 A at 100º C in continuous mode or up to 180 A at 25º C in pulse mode, with a maximum RDS(on) of 5.7 mω.

First we tested this power supply with five different load patterns, trying to pull around 20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, and 100% of its labeled maximum capacity (actual percentage used listed under % Max Load ), watching the behavior of the reviewed unit under each load. In the table below, we list the load patterns we used and the results for each load. If you add all the powers listed for each test, you may find a different value than what is posted under Total below. Since each output can have a slight variation (e.g., the +5 V output working at V), the actual total amount of power being delivered is slightly different than the calculated value. In the Total row, we are using the real amount of power being delivered, as measured by our load tester. The +12VA and +12VB inputs listed below are the two +12 V independent inputs from our load tester. During this test, both inputs were connected to the power supply s single +12 V rail. (The power supply s EPS12V connector was installed on the +12VB input of the load tester.)

Efficiency of 89% on an 80 Plus Bronze unit is unheard of. This is really impressive. Voltages were inside the allowed range; however, we d prefer to see them within 3% of their nominal values.

The maximum ripple and noise levels allowed are 120 mv for +12 V and -12 V outputs, and 50 mv for +5 V, +3.3 V and +5VSB outputs. All values are peak-to-peak figures. We consider a power supply as being top-notch if it can produce half or less of the maximum allowed ripple and noise levels. The FSP Raider 650 W provided ripple and noise levels below the maximum allowed, but we d like to see these levels lower during test five to consider this unit flawless.

This happened because it is based on the same platform as the FSP Aurum Gold power supplies, which received the 80 Plus Gold award. With the Raider 650 W you basically buy an 80 Plus Bronze unit and get virtually 80 Plus Gold efficiency when using it at light and typical loads which are the loads most people use anyway. Although voltages were always inside the proper range, and ripple and noise levels were below the maximum allowed, we d prefer to see 3% voltage regulation and lower ripple and noise levels, so we can t say this unit is flawless. Still, it provides a terrific value for the savvy user, and we highly recommend it.
