The most outstanding features of this Dimension QSeries DIN-rail power supply are the high efficiency
and the small size, which are achieved by a
synchronous rectification and further novel design
details.
Large power reserves of 150% support the starting
of heavy loads such as DC motors or capacitive loads.
In many cases this allows the use of a unit from a
lower wattage class which saves space and money.
High immunity to transients and power surges as
well as low electromagnetic emission makes usage in
nearly every environment possible.
The integrated output power manager and virtually
no input inrush current make installation and usage
simple with no jumpers and switches necessary.
Diagnostics are easy due to the dry DC-ok contact, a
green DC-ok LED and red overload LED.
Unique quick-connect spring-clamp terminals allow a
safe and fast installation and a large international
approval package for a variety of applications makes
this unit suitable for nearly every situation.

Peak current capability (up to several ms)
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 causes a voltage dip on the output. Detailed curves can be found in chapter 27.2.

10. DC-OK RELAY CONTACT
This feature monitors the output voltage, which is produced by the power supply itself. It is independent of a backfed voltage from a unit which is connected in parallel to the power supply output.
Contact closes As soon as the output voltage reaches the adjusted output voltage.
Contact opens As soon as the output voltage dips more than 10% below the adjusted output voltage.
Contact re-closes As soon as the output voltage exceeds 90% of the adjusted voltage.

Short dips will be extended to a signal length of 250ms. Dips shorter than 1ms will be ignored.
Note:
The DC-ok feature requires that the output voltage
10%
reaches the nominal (=adjusted) level after turn-on in
order to function according to specification. If this level
cannot be achieved, the overload lamp will be on and
>

the DC-ok contact will be open. The overload signal will
only shut off as soon as the adjusted voltage is reached.
This is an important condition to consider particularly, if

The Lifetime expectancy shown in the table indicates the operating hours (service life) 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 date of shipment.
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.

27. APPLICATION NOTES
27.1. REPETITIVE PULSE LOADING
Typically, a load current is not constant. It varies over time. For pulse load compatibility, following rules must be met:
a) The pulse power demand must be below 150% of the nominal power.
b) The duration of the pulse power must be shorter than the allowed Bonus Time. (see output section)
c) The average (R.M.S.) output current must be below the specified continuous output current.
If the R.M.S. current is higher, the unit will respond with a thermal shut-down after a while. Use the max. duty
cycle curve (Fig. 27-2) to check if the average output current is below the nominal current.
d) The duty cycle must be below 0.75.
e) For altitudes higher than 2000m reduce the pulse loading (15W/1000m) or the ambient temperature (5°C/1000m)

27.2. 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 Bonus Power®) 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. The following
two examples show typical voltage dips:

27.3. 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- E.M.F. (E
lectro Magnetic Force).
This power supply is resistant and does not show malfunctioning when a load feeds back voltage to the power
supply. It does not matter, whether the power supply is on or off.
The maximum allowed feed back voltage is 58Vdc. The absorbing energy can be calculated according to the built-in
large sized output capacitor which is specified in chapter 8.
27.4. CHARGING OF BATTERIES
The power supply can be used to charge lead-acid or maintenance free batteries. (Four 12V batteries in series)
Instructions for charging batteries:
a) Set output voltage (measured at the battery) very precisely to the end-of-charge voltage.
End-of-charge voltage 55.6V 55.0V 54.3V 53.6V
Battery temperature 10°C 20°C 30°C 40°C
b) Use a 25A circuit breaker (or blocking diode ) between the power supply and the battery.
c) Ensure that the output current of the power supply is below the allowed charging current of the battery.
d) Use only matched batteries when putting 12V types in series.
e) The return current to the power supply is typ. 14mA at 55Vdcwhen the power supply is switched off (except in
case a blocking diode is utilized).

27.5. OUTPUT CIRCUIT BREAKERS
Standard miniature circuit breakers (MCBs) can be used for branch protection. Ensure that the MCB is rated for DC
voltage, too. The following tests show which circuit breakers the power supply typically trips.
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. Two tests were performed, representing typical situations:
Test 1: Short circuit with S1 on the power supply end of the cable (loop impedance approx. 20mOhm)

Example:
Which wire gauge must be used to trip a B-Characteristic circuit breaker with a rating of 6A? The load wire length is
21m.
Answer: A 6A B-Characteristic circuit breaker requires a loop impedance of less than 180mOhm (test results). The wire
length table shows that up to 25.1m wire with a cross section of 2.5mm
than 2.5mm
Tripping time shorter than 5s.
The following circuit breaker tripped during the test:

Instructions for parallel use:
a) Use only power supplies from the same series (Q-Series).
b) Adjust the output voltages of all power supplies to
approximately the same value (±500mV).
Otherwise, the DC-ok signal might not work properly.
c) A fuse (or diode) on the output is only required if more
than three units are connected in parallel.
d) Keep an installation clearance of 15mm (left / right)
between two power supplies and avoid installing the
power supplies on top of each other.
27.9. PARALLEL USE FOR REDUNDANCY
QT20.481
48V, 10A, THREE PHASE INPUT
Power supplies can be paralleled for 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
Q-Series power supplies in parallel. This is called a 1+1 redundancy. In case one power supply unit fails, the other one
is automatically able to support the load current without any interruption. Redundant systems for a higher power
demand are usually built in a N+1 method. E.g. Five power supplies, each rated for 10A are paralleled to build a 40A
redundant system.
Please note: This simple way to build a redundant system does not cover failures such as an internal short circuit in
the secondary side of the power supply. In such a - virtually nearly impossible - case, the defect unit becomes a load
for the other power supplies and the output voltage can not be maintained any more. This can only be avoided by
utilizing decoupling diodes which are included in the decoupling module YR2.DIODE.
Recommendations for building redundant power systems:
a) Use separate input fuses for each power supply.
b) Monitor the individual power supply units. A DC-ok lamp and a DC-ok contact is already included in the units
This feature reports a faulty unit.
c) When possible, connect each power supply to different phases or circuits.
d) It is desirable to set the output voltages of all power supplies to the same value to avoid a false DC-ok signal.
27.10. DAISY CHAINING OF OUTPUTS
Daisy chaining (jumping from one power supply output to the next) is allowed as long as the maximum current
through one terminal pin does not exceed 25A. If the current is higher, use a separate distribution terminal block.

Instructions for use in series:
a) It is possible to connect as many units in series as needed,
providing the sum of the output voltage does not exceed
150Vdc.
b) Voltages with a potential above 60Vdc are not SELV any
more and can be dangerous. Such voltages must be installed
with a protection against touching.
c) For serial operation use power supplies of the same type.
d) Earthing of the output is required when the sum of the
output voltage is above 60Vdc.
e) Keep an installation clearance of 15mm (left/right) between
two power supplies and avoid installing the power supplies
on top of each other.
Avoid return voltage (e.g. from a decelerating motor or

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 max. allowed ambient temperature. The amount of reduction
influences the lifetime expectancy of the power supply. Therefore, two different derating curves for continuous
operation can be found below:
Curve A1 Recommended output current.
Curve A2 Max allowed output current (results approx. in half the lifetime expectancy of A1).
