Technical Overview

24VDC, 48A redundancy module ensures system availability, operating from -40 to 70°C.

Key Features

  • Connects two power supplies for redundant operation.
  • Compensates for the failure of one power supply unit.
  • Increases overall system availability and reliability.
  • Maintains stable 24 V control voltage upon power supply failure.
  • Utilizes MOSFETs for optimum efficiency.
  • Compact design allows for easy integration into existing installations.
  • Features PUSH IN connection system for simplified wiring.
  • Designed for DIN top-hat rail mounting.
  • IP20 protection degree suitable for cabinet installation.
  • Wide operating temperature range from -40 °C to 70 °C.

Redundancy modules increase system availability by allowing each redundant branch to supply full output load and maintaining a stable 24 V control voltage in the event of a power supply failure. The use of MOSFETs ensures optimum efficiency.
