Power supply with SFB

August 2009 Electrical Power & Protection

Quint Power is the new slim power supply from Phoenix Contact with selective fuse breaking (SFB) technology. It is now available rated for currents of 40 A with adjustable output voltages from 18 to 29,5 VDC.

In critical systems and machines where parallel loads are protected separately by circuit breakers, short circuits will trip these circuit breakers and disconnect any faulty circuits from the power supply. Using SFB technology this can be realised within milliseconds without interrupting the DC supply to the remainder of the plant or system.

A new three-phase unit is also available with a 24 VDC/40 A rating and headroom of 215 A for 12 ms with SFB technology. A power boost feature provides 45 A to allow loads with high inrush currents to start reliably.

Quint Power units offer function monitoring for remote diagnostics to prevent malfunctions. By permanently monitoring the output voltage and output current critical situations can be displayed locally on LEDs and floating relay contacts or active signal outputs signal the control system.

With a high efficiency of 94%, energy losses are very small and a minimum of heat is generated. Thanks to their wide-range input, comprehensive international approvals and broad temperature range of -25 to +70°C, these power supplies are suitable for industrial applications worldwide.
