Power supply systems have to be highly reliable in most areas of
energy management and automation technology.
Often batteries are used for supporting the supply system in
case of mains failures. Batteries have limited lifetimes depending on environmental parameters and have to be maintained
regularly, which causes efforts and costs.
Using the latest ultra-capacitor technology, ABB offers an innovative and completely maintenance free new product for
buffering the 24 V DC supply in case of interrupted mains on the
primary side of the switch mode power supply.
The CP-B range is an ultra-capacitor buffer energy storage for
power supply units which ensures a short term uninterrupted
power supply system. In case of a power loss, the energy stored
in the capacitor guarantees that the load is continually provided
up to several hundred seconds depending on the load current.
Application example
Characteristics
• 3 buffer modules for buffering 24 V DC:
CP-B 24/3.0 (3 A / 1 kWs1))
CP-B 24/10.0 (10 A / 10 kWs1))
CP-B 24/20.0 (20 A / 8 kWs1))
The protection devices EPD24 extend the ABB product range of modular DIN rail components by
electronic overcurrent protection modules for selective protection of 24V DC load circuits.
This protection is achieved by a combination of active electronic current limitation in the case of a short
circuit and an overload deactivation from 1.1 x I
If a fault occurs in a load circuit, the protection device EPD24 will detect this rapidly and reliably, disable
the power output transistor and hence interrupt the current flow in the defective circuit. The maximum
possible overcurrent is always limited to 1.5…1.8 times the selected rated current. An activation of
capacitive loads up to 20,000 μF is possible, deactivation only occurring in the case of overloads or
short circuits. Selective deactivation of the defective current circuit means undefined error states and a
complete system stop are prevented.

– Electronic current limitation occurs at typically 1.8 x I
which means that under all overload conditions (independent of the power supply

The user should ensure that the cable cross sections of the relevant load circuit are suitable for the current rating of the EPD24 used.
Automatic start-up of machinery after shut down must be prevented (Machinery Directive 98/37/EG and EN 60204-1).
In the event of a short circuit or overload the load circuit will be disconnected electronically by the EPD24.
