A new generation of mainstream power products, BG-550L dismantling and evaluation

GALAXY Black Gold BG-550L is the latest generation of mainstream products of GALAXY, rated power is 550W, 80PLUS bronze standard ATX power supply, in line with Intel ATX12V 2.3 design specifications, support 115V-264 wide voltage. The same solution also has BG-450L power supply. The black gold BG-550L adopts active PFC design, supports 115V-240V input voltage, and the combined output power reaches 500W, which can easily control the flagship graphics card. The Black Gold BG-550L is a half-mode power supply with native 24Pin+8Pin design, while the module cable supports 5 SATA, 3 IDE, and 2 6+2Pin interfaces. The Black Gold BG-550L is a semi-modular interface with 4 IDEs and two PCI-E module interfaces. Why is the logo part in English? This is a bit difficult to understand for my bad English.

Whether it is a natural wire or a modular wire, GALAXY sets the black and white striped snake net for the pickled vegetables of the black gold BG-550L power supply. This is to prevent the wire from being entangled and convenient for the user. The parameters used for the wire; 80°C/330V/18AWG, the black gold BG-550L power supply not only maintains the previous semi-module wire design, but also presents the short-line IDE/SATA+PCI-E module wire to meet any ATX/ITX. The user's needs are convenient for the user.

The black gold BG-550L adopts a 14cm fan design, the specification wield12V/2.5A, which is a silent fan with low speed, and the function of the small baffle is to make the wind flow more concentrated and strengthen the internal heat dissipation effect of the power supply.

The rectifier bridge model is GBU8J (600V/8A). Unfortunately, the rectifier bridge does not have a separate heat sink, and the location of another rectifier bridge remains on the PCB. It can be combined to form a higher resolution rectifier bridge module.

To sum up; GALAXY Black Gold BG-550L overall is still good, active PFC + double tube forward + single magnetic amplification this program is more mature, but also can guarantee a good conversion efficiency, the next power 14CM fan believes that can bring To be a good mute performance, and finally the power cable is more thoughtful, providing enough long enough wire, but also effective short-term to better compatible with the ITX platform.

GALAXY Black Gold BG-550L Power Test

The tests are still loaded according to the scale of our power evaluation system, the parameters and meanings for each project test.

The conversion efficiency is measured at 230Vac

speed of the fan

A new generation of mainstream power products, BG-550L dismantling and evaluation

The test temperature of the fan speed was 29 °C. The fan-spinning black gold BG-550L has a fan rotation speed of 700 RPM, a half load of about 1200 RPM, and a full load of 1400 RPM.

Standby efficiency

According to the recommended value in the Intel ATX12V 2.31 specification, the conversion efficiency of 5Vsb under 100mA/250mA/1A load should be higher than 50%, 60%, 70%, and the standby no load is less than 1W. Two levels of standby current testing have been added since our v1.01 version of the test system to accommodate the growing demand for 5Vsb.

5Vsb power consumption and efficiency

No-load pure standby refers to the state in which the power is turned on without being turned on. The GALAXY Black Gold BG-550L consumes 0.30W in the no-load state, and the output efficiency of 100mA, 250mA and 1A is excellent.

Voltage stability: 9.29 points (out of 15)

A new generation of mainstream power products, BG-550L dismantling and evaluation

The GALAXY Black Gold BG-550L performs well in terms of voltage stability, conversion efficiency, standby conversion efficiency and full load ripple of the balanced load. Although the cross load performance is slightly weaker, it is better than the single watt power of the same wattage. of.

The only flaw is to keep the time project, PG time did not meet our requirements, from the disassembly point of view, 550W power supply uses 330μF main capacitor, the average 0.6μF / W, slightly higher than some products only 0.5μF / W However, PG time did not meet my expectations, so manufacturers should adjust the circuit. Finally, the work part, the end of the wire is insulated by heat shrink tubing, and some of the bare metal wire is not completely covered, which can also be improved.
