The power supplies in the Dimension X-Series include
a new and innovative concept for generating an
isolated DC voltage from a three-phase mains
system.
A semi-regulated resonant converter enables a very
compact design, maximum efficiency and extremely
competitive pricing with only a small compromise in
the output voltage regulation, output ripple and
hold-up time.
Weighing just 1.4 kg, the device provides 960 watts
of continuous output power and an additional 25%
power reserve for dynamic loads. The light-weight
design along with compact dimensions facilitate
straightforward mounting on DIN-rail.
Primary use are applications involving supplies to
motors, valves and other load circuits with a high
power consumption, where an accurate output
voltage regulation which is standard on traditional
switched-mode power supplies is not required.
Furthermore, these switched-mode power supplies
can often replace mains transformers with rectifiers.

*) The ripple and noise voltage mostly consist of a mains ripple with 300Hz (50Hz mains) or 360Hz (60Hz mains). The ripple and
noise voltage can be reduced by the utilization of external capacitors.
The power supply is also designed to support loads with a higher short-term current and power requirement. The
short-term duration is firmware controlled by an output power manager. If the nominal output power is exceeded for
a certain period of time which is defined in the zone A, B and C, the power supply responds with an automatic shutdown. Pressing the reset button or cycling the input power (10s off time is required) initiates an attempt to restart. If
the fault has been cleared the device will operate normally.
The short term power can be used periodically. See chapter 26.1 for further information.

The Lifetime expectancy shown in the table above 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 and 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.

24. ACCESSORIES
Buffer module UF20.481
This buffer unit is a supplementary device for DC48V power supplies. It delivers power to bridge typical mains failures
or extends the hold-up time after turn-off of the AC power. In times when the power supply provides sufficient
voltages, the buffer unit stores energy in integrated electrolytic capacitors. In case of mains voltage fault, this energy
is released again in a regulated process.
Do not use the buffer module to bridge mains interruptions which are longer than typ. 350ms. Once the mains is off
for longer than typ. 350ms, the XT power supply needs an additional 1s to restart again.

26.3. OUTPUT CIRCUIT BREAKERS
Standard miniature circuit breakers (MCB`s or UL 1077 supplementary breakers) can be used for branch protection
but ensure, that the MCB is rated for DC voltage too. The following tests show which circuit breakers the power
supply typically will trip.
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)

*) A list of the circuit breakers under test is available on request.
Example:
Which wire gauge must be used at a length of 8.5m before a B-Characteristic circuit breaker with 32A will trip?
Answer: A 32A B-Characteristic circuit breaker requires a loop impedance of less than 29mOhm based on the test
results. The wire length table shows that a length of 9.7m with a cross section of 6.0mm2 has an impedance of
29mOhm. A wire not smaller than 6.0mm
The following circuit breaker tripped during the test:
A- or Z- Characteristic:: ≤ 25A and R= 50mOhm *)
B- Characteristic: ≤ 32A and R= 29mOhm *)
C- Characteristic: ≤ 20A and R= 82mOhm *)
What does this resistance mean in wire length?

26.4. EXTERNAL INPUT PROTECTION
The power supply has no internal input fuses included. The unit is tested and approved for branch circuits up to 16A
(U.S.A 15A). External protection is only required if the supplying branch has an ampacity greater than this. In some
countries local regulations might apply so check all local codes and requirements. If an external fuse is necessary or
utilized, minimum requirements need to be considered to avoid nuisance tripping of the fuse.

26.5. 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
This power supply is resistant and does not show adverse effects when a load feeds back voltage to the power supply.
It does not matter, whether the power supply is on or off.
If the power supply is fully loaded after a return-feeding event, the output voltage can dip to 21V for approx 20ms.
The maximum allowed feed back voltage is 55.1Vdc. The absorbing energy can be calculated according to the built-in
large sized output capacitor which is specified in chapter 7.
lectro Magnetic Force).
26.6. PARALLEL USE TO INCREASE OUTPUT POWER
The XT40 Series of power supplies shall not be paralleled to increase the output power.
26.7. PARALLEL USE FOR REDUNDANCY
Power supplies can be paralleled for a 1+1 redundancy to gain a higher system availability and reliability. 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 X-Series power supplies in parallel which 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.
Please note: This simple way to build a redundant system does not cover failures such as an internal short circuit on
the secondary side of the power supply. In such a condition, the shorted unit becomes a load for the other power
supplies and the output voltage can not be maintained. This can be avoided by utilizing decoupling diodes which are
included in the Dimension redundancy module YRM2.DIODE or YR2.DIODE. One module is needed per XT-power
supply.
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 LED and a DC-ok contact is included in the redundancy
module YRM2.DIODE and can report a faulty unit.

(see notes)
Installation notes 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 no longer rated SELV
and can be hazardous in some situations. Such voltages must be
installed with a protection to make the unit touch-safe.
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
Note:
battery) which is applied to the output terminals.
26.9. INDUCTIVE AND CAPACITIVE LOADS
The unit is designed to supply any kind of loads, including inductive loads or capacitive loads with a capacity of up
to120mF.
26.10. LOSS OF ONE INPUT PHASE
The unit protects itself against a loss of one input phase and does not require an external protection device.
A phase-loss operation is possible for output currents below 4A. Above this level, the yellow LED indicates an
impending shut-down. If the missing phase does not recover, the unit switches off after 3.5s. Pressing the reset
button or cycling the input power (10s required) initiates a restart.
Please note that the input current and the output ripple are higher during the time when one phase is missing.
26.11. USE IN A TIGHTLY 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.
Results from such an installation:
Power supply is placed in the middle of the box, no other heat producing equipment inside the box
Enclosure: Rittal Typ IP66 Box PK 9519 100, plastic, 180x180x165mm
Load: 48V, 16A (=80% of the rated current); load is placed outside the box
Input: 3x400Vac

26.12. 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 defines
the lifetime expectancy of the power supply. Therefore, two different derating curves for continuous operation can
be found below:
Curve A1 Recommended output current to achieve a minimum lifetime expectancy of 50 000h at 40°C ambient.
Curve A2 Max allowed output current for a safe operation (results approx. in half the lifetime expectancy of A1).
