Application
The primary switch mode power supply CP-C.1 has a wide AC or DC input voltage range. Furthermore the CP-C.1 is
equipped with capacitors that ensure a hold-up time of at least 40 ms. This enables worldwide usage and permits safe
operation in fluctuating networks and battery-powered applications.
The CP-C.1 has a robust metallic housing and a reliable construction which enables usage in harsh industrial environments.
The power reserve of up to 50 % enables trouble-free starting of heavy loads eliminating the need of usage of an oversized
power supply.
Power reserve
The primary switch mode power supply CP-C.1 is equipped with a power reserve functionality to handle the start-up of
particulary heavy loads (e.g. of a capacitive load or a motor). To ensure that heavy loads are started up, the CP-C.1 delivers
additionally up to 50 % of the rated output current to secure the operation of the application. This status is displayed by the
yellow LED labelled POWER RESERVE I > IR.
Signaling output
For the communication of the status of the power supply the CP-C.1 is equipped with a relay output to signal output OK as
well as a transistor output to indicate when the power reserve is active. These signals can be used for communication to a
higher level control system e.g. a PLC.
Adjustable output voltage
The CP-C range power supplies feature a continuously adjustable output voltage of 22.5 to 28.5 V DC. Thus they can be
optimally adapted to the application, e.g. compensating the voltage drop caused by a long line length.

Operating mode
Parallel operation
There are two main reasons for a parallel connection of power supplies:
– Increase of power
– Redundancy
Up to 5 devices of the same type can be connected in parallel. For safe and reliable operation it is important to follow the
recommendations given in the following section.
Parallel connection of power supplies for increased power
If the current required by the load is higher than a single power supply can deliver, for example after the expansion of
an existing installation, an increase of the output power can be obtained by connecting power supplies in parallel. The
following prerequisites have to be fulfilled when connecting power supplies in parallel for the purpose of increased power:
– The paralleled devices must be of the identical type.
– Repeated voltage drops on the supply lines or at the terminals would lead to unbalanced load at the common connection
point. To prevent this, you have to observe the following when connecting the power supply units:
– Identical lengths of the load supply lines.
– Identical conductor cross sections of the load supply lines.
– Terminal screws have to be fastened with the same torque to guarantee equal contact resistances.
– The output voltages of the power supplies must not differ by more than 50 mV. Otherwise, safe operation is not
possible.

Important:
The devices must not be connected directly to each other! This could lead to an overload of the terminals since the
terminals are dimensioned for the maximum output current of a single power supply only. Always use a common connection
point!

Parallel connection of power supplies for redundancy
Several power supplies are connected in parallel in order to guarantee continuous operation of the system if one power
supply fails. CP-C.1 can be used in two different redundancy modes depending on what type of redundancy is required:
– Simple redundancy, n+1
– True redundancy
Simple redundancy, n+1 redundancy
For simple or n+1 redundancy, the power supplies are connected in parallel like for the increase of capacity. To achieve
redundancy the current required by the load must not exceed the maximum output power of one single power supply (in
case of “1+1 redundancy”) or n power supplies (where n is max. 4).
We recommend connecting the primary sides of the power supplies to different phases of the mains in order to obtain
continuous operation of the system if one phase fails.

True redundancy
True redundancy gives higher system availability compared to simple or n+1 redundancy.
In a true redundancy setup the power supplies are decoupled from each other with decoupling diodes. This protects the
individual power supplies from affecting each other in case of failure of one unit or short cirucit on the secondary side or in
the wiring.
For two inputs of up to 20 A and one output up to 40 A the ABB redundancy unit CP-A RU (available as an accessory) can
be used.
The inputs of these units are connected to the terminals L+ and L- of the power supplies. The loads are supplied directly
from the outputs of the redundancy unit.
