Output Terminals

The NI PS-15 has a total of four output terminals, providing two positive (+) output terminals and two negative (–) output terminals. Both positive terminals are wired together internally, and both negative terminals are wired together internally, as shown in Figure 1-1. The output

terminals provide 24 V

with 5 A of current.

Page 13

Chapter 1 Getting Started

Output Voltage Potentiometer

Note You must open the protective flap to turn the potentiometer.

Output voltage from the NI PS-15 is set by the output voltage potentiometer, shown in Figure 1-2. The factory setting output voltage is 24.1 V ±0.2% (at full load when the power supply is cold), and the potentiometer allows the output voltage to be adjusted from 24–28 V on any unit. The output voltage may be adjusted above 28 V by the potentiometer, but voltages beyond 28 V are not guaranteed.

Note Output voltages greater than 28 V are not supported on an NI PS-15 unit.

DC OK LED

This green LED indicates the status of available DC power through the output terminals. If the LED is lit, DC output of greater than 21 V is available for use through the output terminals. If the LED is not lit, DC is not currently available. The DC OK LED is wired internally to the power conversion circuitry prior to the output filtering stage, as shown in Figure 1-1.

Input Terminals

Caution National Instruments recommends that you wire all three input terminals for

proper operation of the NI PS-15.

If the DC OK LED does not light when power is provided through the input terminals, it may indicate a problem with the power supply. Contact National Instruments for more details.

The NI PS-15 power supply derives power through the input terminals on the front panel, shown in Figure 1-2. There are three terminals corresponding to the Neutral input, the Line (or hot) input, and the Protective Earth (PE) input. The NI PS-15 rectifies both single-phase and two-phase AC input. The Neutral input terminal provides a MAINS return path for the input circuitry. The Line input is the primary power input for the supply. The PE input corresponds to an earth ground. As shown in Figure 1-1, the power supply case itself is grounded to the PE input.

Installation and Configuration

This chapter describes how to prepare and operate the NI PS-15 power supply.

Mounting Orientation and Installation

This section describes the different mounting orientations, and the effect that mounting orientation has on power supply performance.

Mounting orientations other than input terminals on the bottom and output on the top require a reduction in continuous output power or a limitation in the maximum allowed ambient temperature. The amount of reduction influences the lifetime expectancy of the power supply. Therefore, two different derating curves for continuous operation are referenced in Figure 2-1:

• Curve A1—Recommended output current.

• Curve A2—Maximum allowed output current (which results in

approximately half the lifetime expectancy for the power supply when following curve A1).

Note National Instruments recommends that the power supply be oriented such that the

output terminals are located on top and the input terminals located on bottom. Figure 2-1 refers to this as the Standard Orientation.

Figure 2-3. NI PS-15 in Serial Operation

Earth

Before operating the NI PS-15 in a serial configuration, consider the following:

• It is possible to connect as many units in series as needed, providing the sum of the output voltage does not exceed 150 V

• Voltages with a potential above 60 V

are not SELV-compliant any

more and can be dangerous. Such voltages must be installed with a protection against touching.

• Use power supplies of the same type for serial operation.

• Earthing of the output is required when the sum of the output voltage is above 60 V

• Keep an installation clearance of 15 mm (left/right) between two power supplies and avoid installing the power supplies on top of each other.

Caution Avoid return voltage (for example, from a decelerating motor or battery) which is

applied to the output terminals.

Page 20

Chapter 2 Installation and Configuration

Parallel Operation

Caution The power supply must not be used in parallel for the purpose of increasing the

output power.

Power supplies can be paralleled for 1+1 redundancy to gain a higher system availability. Redundant systems require a certain amount of extra power to support the load in case one power supply unit fails. The simplest way is to put two NI PS-15 power supplies in parallel. If one power supply unit fails, the other one is automatically able to support the load current without any interruption. When using this method of building a redundant system consider the following:

• The faulty power supply can not be recognized. The green LED will still be on since it is reverse-powered from the other power supply.

• It does not cover failures such as an internal short circuit in the secondary side of the power supply. In such a case (nearly impossible), the defective unit becomes a load for the other power supplies and the output voltage can not be maintained.

Recommendations for building redundant power systems:

• Use separate input fuses for each power supply.

• When possible, connect each power supply to different phases or circuits.

Two-Phase Power Operation

The NI PS-15 power supply can operate with two-phase power, as shown in Figure 2-4.

Before operating the NI PS-15 in this configuration, consider the following:

NI PS-15 Power Supply User Manual 2-6 ni.com

Figure 2-4. NI PS-15 in Two-Phase Operation

Page 21

• A phase-to-phase connection is allowed as long as the supplying voltage is below 240 V +10%.

• Use a fuse or a circuit breaker to protect the N (Neutral) input. The N input is not protected internally and in two-phase configuration would be connected to a hot wire.

Appropriate fuses and circuit breakers are specified in the External Input Protection section.

External Input Protection

The NI PS-15 power supply is tested and approved for branch circuits up to 20 A. External protection is only required if the supplying branch has an ampacity greater than 20 A. In some countries local regulations might apply, so check local codes and local requirements.

If an external fuse is utilized, a minimum value is required to avoid undesired tripping of the fuse, shown in Table 2-2.

Minimum 10 A 6 A

Maximum 20 A 20 A

Operation in a Sealed Enclosure

When the power supply is installed in a tightly sealed enclosure, the temperature inside the enclosure will be higher than outside. The inside temperature defines the ambient temperature for the power supply.

The following is the result of such an installation, where the NI PS-15 power supply was placed in the middle of a sealed enclosure, and no other heat producer was present:

Cooling

The NI PS-15 is convection cooled, and direct cooling is not required. However, you must not cover the ventilation grid (for example, with cable conduits) by more than 30%.

Proper installation clearance for the NI PS-15 is 40 mm on top, 20 mm on the bottom, 5 mm on the left and right side when loaded permanently with full power. If the adjacent device is a heat source, 15 mm clearance is recommended between the NI PS-15 and the adjacent device.

Hazardous Risks

Cautions Do not use the unit without the proper earth connection (Protective Earth).

Use the PE pin on the front panel terminal block for earth connection instead of one of the screws on the housing.

Turn the power off before working on the power supply. Protect against inadvertent re-powering.

Make sure the wiring is correct by following all local and national codes.

Do not open, modify, or repair the unit.

Use caution to prevent any foreign objects from entering into the housing.

Do not use in wet locations or in areas where moisture or condensation can be expected.

Service Parts

The NI PS-15 power supply does not contain any serviceable parts. If an internal fuse trips, it is caused by an internal defect. If damage or malfunction occurs during operation, immediately turn the power off and send the NI PS-15 to National Instruments for inspection.

Note Attempting to repair or modify the NI PS-15 power supply will void your warranty.

NI PS-15 Power Supply User Manual 2-8 ni.com

Peak Current Capability

Solenoids, contactors and pneumatic modules often have a steady state coil and a pick-up coil. The inrush current demand of the pick-up coil is several times higher than the steady state current and usually exceeds the nominal output current (including the PowerBoost). The same situation applies when starting a capacitive load.

Branch circuits are often protected with circuit breakers or fuses. In case of a short or an overload in the branch circuit, the fuse needs a certain amount of over-current to trip or to blow. The peak current capability ensures the safe operation of subsequent circuit breakers.

Assuming the input voltage is turned on before such an event, the built-in large sized output capacitors inside the power supply can deliver extra current. Discharging this capacitor causes a voltage dip on the output. Figure 2-5 illustrates two typical voltage dips.

Back Feeding Loads

Loads such as decelerating motors and inductors can feed voltage back to the power supply. This feature is also called return voltage immunity or resistance against back-EMF (Electro Magnetic Force). The NI PS-15 power supply is resistant to this and does not malfunction when a load feeds back voltage to the power supply, regardless of whether the power supply itself is on or off.

The maximum allowed feed back voltage is 35 V can be calculated according to the built-in large sized output capacitor, which is specified in the Output section of Appendix A, Specifications.

Output Circuit Breakers

Standard miniature circuit breakers (MCBs) can be used for branch protection. Ensure that the MCB is also rated for DC voltage. The following tests show which circuit breakers the power supply typically trips.

Note Circuit breakers have huge tolerances in their tripping behavior. Therefore, these

typical tests can only be used as a recommendation or for comparing two different power supplies. Furthermore, the loop impedance has a major influence on whether a breaker trips or not.

Test 1: Short circuit with S1 on the power supply end of the cable (loop impedance approximately 20 mΩ). The input voltage was 230 V load current was 0 A.

Peak Current Capability

The power supply can deliver a peak current which is higher than the specified short term current. This helps to start current-demanding loads or to safely operate subsequent circuit breakers.

The extra current is supplied by the output capacitors inside the power supply. During this event, the capacitors will be discharged and cause a voltage dip on the output. Detailed curves can be found in the Peak Current

Capability section of Chapter 2, Installation and Configuration.

Reliability

The lifetime expectancy shown in Table A-1 indicates the service life of the NI PS-15, and is determined by the lifetime expectancy of the built-in electrolytic capacitors. Lifetime expectancy is specified in operational hours. Lifetime expectancy is calculated according to the capacitor’s manufacturer specification. The prediction model allows a calculation of up to 15 years from the date of shipment.

MTBF (Mean Time Between Failure) is calculated according to statistical device failures and indicates reliability of a device. It is the statistical representation of the likelihood of a unit to fail and does not necessarily represent the life of a product.

Dielectric Strength

Notes The output voltage is floating and has no ohmic connection to ground.

To fulfill the PELV requirements according to EN60204-1 § 6.4.1, we recommend that either the + pole, the – pole or any other part of the output circuit should be connected to the protective earth system. This helps to avoid situations in which a load starts unexpectedly or can not be switched off when unnoticed earth faults occur.

Comments

• The average input power must be determined in accordance with EN 61000-3-2.

• Industrial MAINS supplies with their own transformer are considered to be non-public.

• Where individual self-contained items of equipment are installed in a rack or case (for example, devices connected in parallel), they are regarded as being individually connected to the MAINS supply. The rack or case need not be tested as a whole. Alternatively, it is also permitted to assess the whole rack or case. This is recommended for devices used in professional applications with an input power greater than 1000 W.
