Requirements for the Supplying Source
In certain circumstances, the input filter of the DC/DC converter can show a resonant effect which is caused by the
supplying network. Especially when additional external input filters are utilized, a superimposed AC voltage can be
generated on the input terminals of the DC/DC converter which might cause a malfunction of the unit. Therefore,
additional input filters are not recommended. To avoid the resonant effects, the minimal resistance of the supplying
network which depends on the inductance of the input network, shall be above the boundary curve in Fig. 3-4.

NPUT INRUSH CURRENT
An active inrush limitation circuit (inrush limiting NTC resistor which is bypassed by a MOSFET) limits the input inrush
current after turn-on of the input voltage.
The charging current into EMI suppression capacitors is disregarded in the first microseconds after switch-on.

OFT-START FEATURE
After the DC/DC converter is turned on, the internal output current rises slowly to its nominal value. This method
charges the output capacitors (internal and external capacitors) slowly and avoids high input currents during turn-on.
High input currents can produce a high voltage drop on the input wiring (especially with long and thin cables) which
reduces the terminal voltage on the DC/DC converter. If the terminal voltage is below the shut-down voltage, the
DC/DC converter will turn-off and will make a new start-up attempt. This effect is avoided with the integrated softstart function. Please note, that this function increases the rise time of the output voltage by a small amount.

OLD-UP TIME
The input side of the DC/DC converter is equipped with a bulk capacitor which keeps the output voltage alive for a
certain period of time when the input voltage dips or is removed. The bulk capacitor can be discharged by loading the
DC/DC converter on the output side or through a load which is parallel to the input. There is no protection in the
DC/DC converter which prevents current from flowing back to the input terminals. If prevention is needed, an external
diode should be used.
At no load, the hold-up time can be up to several seconds. The green DC-ok lamp is also on during this time.

IFETIME EXPECTANCY
The Lifetime expectancy shown in the table indicates the minimum operating hours (service life) and is determined by
the lifetime expectancy of the built-in electrolytic capacitors. Lifetime expectancy is specified in operational hours and
is calculated according to the capacitor’s manufacturer specification. The manufacturer of the electrolytic capacitors
only guarantees a maximum life of up to 15 years (131 400h). Any number exceeding this value is a calculated
theoretical lifetime which can be used to compare devices.

292 000h At 24V, 10A and 25°C
159 000h At 24V, 12A and 25°C
MTBF stands for Mean Time Between Failure, which 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.
The MTBF figure is a statistical representation of the likelihood of a device to fail. A MTBF figure of e.g. 1 000 000h
means that statistically one unit will fail every 100 hours if 10 000 units are installed in the field. However, it can not
be determined if the failed unit has been running for 50 000h or only for 100h.
For these types of units the MTTF (Mean Time To Failure) value is the same value as the MTBF value.

21.3. YRM2.DIODE-REDUNDANCY MODULE
The YRM2.DIODE is a dual redundancy module, which can be used to build 1+1 or N+1
redundant systems.
The device is equipped with two input channels each 10A nominal, which are individually
decoupled by utilizing diode technology. The output can be loaded with nominal 20A.
The device does not require an additional auxiliary voltage and is self-powered even in case
of a short circuit across the output.
The device has a monitoring circuit included and is the perfect choice when the power supply
has no DC-OK function. Two LEDs and two relay contacts signal when one of the two input
voltages is not in range due to a non-functioning or disconnected power supply.
The unit is very slender and only requires 32mm width on the DIN-rail.
See chapter 22.6 for wiring information.
21.4. UF20.241-BUFFER MODULE
The UF20.241 buffer module is a supplementary device for 24V DC/DC converters. It delivers
power to bridge typical supply voltage faults or extends the hold-up time after turn-off of
the input power.
In times when the DC/DC converter provides sufficient voltages, the buffer module stores
energy in integrated electrolytic capacitors. In case of a supply voltage fault, this energy is
released again in a regulated process.
The buffer module does not require any control wiring. It can be added in parallel to the load
circuit at any given point.
One buffer module can deliver 20A additional current. Buffer modules can be added in
parallel to increase the output ampacity or the hold-up time.

PPLICATION NOTES
22.1. PEAK CURRENT CAPABILITY
The unit can deliver peak currents (up to several milliseconds) which are higher than the specified short term currents.
This helps to start current demanding loads. 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. The same situation applies when starting a capacitive load.
The peak current capability also ensures the safe operation of subsequent circuit breakers of load circuits. The load
branches are often individually protected with circuit breakers or fuses. In case of a short or an overload in one branch
circuit, the fuse or circuit breaker need a certain amount of over-current to open in a timely manner. This avoids
voltage loss in adjacent circuits.
The extra current (peak current) is supplied by the power converter and the built-in large sized output capacitors of
the power supply. The capacitors get discharged during such an event, which causes a voltage dip on the output. The
following two examples show typical voltage dips:

22.2. OUTPUT CIRCUIT BREAKERS
Standard miniature circuit breakers (MCB’s or UL 1077 circuit breakers) are commonly used for AC-supply systems and
may also be used on 24V branches.
MCB’s are designed to protect wires and circuits. If the ampere value and the characteristics of the MCB are adapted to
the wire size that is used, the wiring is considered as thermally safe regardless of whether the MCB opens or not.
To avoid voltage dips and under-voltage situations in adjacent 24V branches which are supplied by the same source, a
fast (magnetic) tripping of the MCB is desired. A quick shutdown within 10ms is necessary corresponding roughly to
the ride-through time of PLC's. This requires power supplies with high current reserves and large output capacitors.
Furthermore, the impedance of the faulty branch must be sufficiently small in order for the current to actually flow.
The best current reserve in the power supply does not help if Ohm’s law does not permit current flow. The following
table has typical test results showing which B- and C-Characteristic MCBs magnetically trip depending on the wire cross
section and wire length.
The following test results indicate the maximal wire length for a magnetic (fast) tripping. The wire length is always
two times the distance to the load (+ and - wire).

22.4. SERIES OPERATION
Devices of the same type can be connected in series for higher output voltages.
It is possible to connect as many units in series as needed, providing the sum of
the output voltage does not exceed 150Vdc. Voltages with a potential above
60Vdc must be installed with a protection against touching.
Avoid return voltage (e.g. from a decelerating motor or battery) which is
applied to the output terminals.
Keep an installation clearance of 15mm (left / right) between two power
supplies and avoid installing the power supplies on top of each other. Do not
use power supplies in series in mounting orientations other than the standard
mounting orientation.
Pay attention that EMI and inrush current will increase when using multiple devices.
22.5. PARALLEL USE TO INCREASE OUTPUT POWER
Devises can be paralleled to increase the output power. The output voltage shall
be adjusted to the same value (±100mV) with the same load conditions on all
devices, or the devices can be left with the factory settings.
The ambient temperature is not allowed to exceed +45°C.
If more than three devices are connected in parallel, a fuse or circuit breaker
with a rating of 15A or 16A is required on each output. Alternatively, a diode or
redundancy module can also be utilized.
Keep an installation clearance of 15mm (left / right) between two devices and
avoid installing devices on top of each other. Do not use devices in parallel in

22.6. PARALLEL USE FOR REDUNDANCY
1+1 Redundancy:
Devices can be paralleled for redundancy to gain higher system availability. Redundant systems require a certain
amount of extra power to support the load in case one device fails. The simplest way is to put two devices in parallel.
This is called a 1+1 redundancy. In case one device fails, the other one is automatically able to support the load current
without any interruption. It is essential to use a redundancy module to decouple devices from each other. This
prevents that the defective unit becomes a load for the other device and the output voltage cannot be maintained any
more.
1+1 redundancy allows ambient temperatures up to +70°C.
Pay attention that EMI and inrush current will increase when using multiple devices.
Recommendations for building redundant power systems:
- Use separate input fuses for each device.
- Use separate supply systems for each device whenever it is possible.
- Monitor the outputs of the individual devices. Use the DC-ok lamp or the Redundancy-ok contact, which is included
in the YR20.246 redundancy module.
- It is desirable to set the output voltages of all devices to the same value (± 100mV) or leave it at the factory setting.
N+1 Redundancy:
Redundant systems for a higher power demand are usually built in a N+1 method. E.g. four devices, each rated for 10A
are paralleled to build a 30A redundant system.
Pay attention that EMI and inrush current will increase when using multiple devices.
Keep an installation clearance of 15mm (left / right) between two devices and avoid installing the devices on top of
each other.
Do not use devices in parallel in mounting orientations other than the standard mounting orientation or in any other
condition, where a reduction of the output current is required.
For N+1 redundancy the ambient temperature is not allowed to exceed +45°C.

22.7. USE IN A TIGHTLY SEALED ENCLOSURE
When the device is installed in a tightly sealed enclosure, the temperature inside the enclosure will be higher than
outside. In such situations, the inside temperature defines the ambient temperature for the device.
In the following test setup, the device is placed in the middle of the enclosure; no other heat producing items are
inside the enclosure. The load is placed outside the enclosure.
The temperature sensor inside the enclosure is placed in the middle of the right side of the device with a distance of
1cm.
The following measurement results can be used as a reference to estimate the temperature rise inside the enclosure.

22.8. MOUNTING ORIENTATIONS
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 listed lifetime and MTBF values from this datasheet apply only for the standard mounting orientation.
The following curves give an indication for allowed output currents for altitudes up to 2000m (6560ft).
