The YR20.246 is a redundancy module for building
redundant power supply systems. It is equipped with
two input channels and one output. The two inputs are
decoupled by MOSFET technology.
The device is equipped with an automated load sharing
feature, which can compensate a small voltage
imbalance between the power supplies connected to
the inputs in order to achieve an even current share. It
also monitors the function of the redundancy circuitry
and provides a signal in case of a failure or a high
output current, which could prevent redundancy if one
power supply fails. If this feature is not required the
YR20.242 is available.
The redundancy utilizes MOSFETs instead of diodes for
the decoupling of the two input channels. This reduces
the heat generation and the voltage drop between
input and output. The redundancy module does not
require an additional auxiliary voltage.
Due to the low power losses, the unit is very slender and
only requires 32mm width on the DIN-rail. Large
connection terminals allow for a safe and fast
installation. The large international approval package
makes this unit suitable for nearly every application.

1+1 Redundancy Use of two identical power supplies in parallel to provide continued
operation following most failures in a single power supply. The two power
supply outputs should be isolated from each other by utilizing diodes or
other switching arrangements. E.g. two 10A power supplies are needed to
achieve a 10A redundant system.

1. INTENDED USE
This redundancy module is designed for installation in an enclosure and is intended for the general use such as in
industrial control, office, communication, and instrumentation equipment.
This redundancy module can be used with any type of power supply as long as the maximum output current ratings
are not exceeded. It is suitable for power supplies with constant current overload behavior as well as any kind of
“Hiccup” overload behavior.
Do not use this redundancy module in equipment, where malfunction may cause severe personal injury or threaten
human life.
2. INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
This device may only be installed and put into operation by qualified personnel.
This device does not contain serviceable parts.
If damage or malfunction should occur during installation or operation, immediately turn power off and send unit to
the factory for inspection.
To ensure a proper load share function ensure that the wiring between the two power supplies and the redundancy
module is identical.
Mount the unit on a DIN-rail so that the input terminals are located on the bottom and the output terminals on the
top of the unit. For other mounting orientations see de-rating requirements of chapter 21.6 in this document.
This device is designed for convection cooling and does not require an external fan. Do not obstruct airflow and do
not cover the ventilation grid (e.g. cable conduits) by more than 30%!
Keep the following installation clearances:
40mm on top,
20mm on the bottom,
5mm on the left and right sides are recommended when the device is loaded permanently with more than 50% of the
rated output current. Increase the side clearance to 15mm in case the adjacent device is a heat source (e.g. another
power supply). See chapter 21.4 for other allowed clearances when used with the PULS DIMENSION series in a 1+1
redundant configuration.
Use only power supplies with a negligible output ripple voltage in the low frequency range between 50Hz and 10kHz
when used in marine applications according to the GL regulations.
The input must be powered from a SELV source (according to IEC 60950-1), a PELV source (according to IEC 62477-1) or
an Isolated Secondary Circuit (according to UL 508).
Do not ground or earth the positive output pole which could prevent redundancy in case of a ground failure. Ground
the negative output pole when needed.
WARNING
- Turn power off before working on the device. Protect against inadvertent re-powering.
- Make sure that 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 the housing.
- Do not use in wet locations or in areas where moisture or condensation can be expected.
- Do not touch during power-on, and immediately after power-off. Hot surfaces may cause burns.
Risk of electrical shock, fire, personal injury or death.

5. LIFETIME EXPECTANCY AND MTBF
The redundancy module has two input channels which are completely independent from each other. Each control
circuit, auxiliary voltage source, or other circuitry in the module are designed separately for each input. The dual input
redundancy module can be considered as two single redundancy modules combined together in one housing. The only
common point is the circuit trace that ties the two separate circuits together at the output.
The MTBF figures below are for the entire dual input module. If the MTBF number of only one path is needed, simply
double the value from the table.

*) 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.
**) 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.
