APABILITY
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 motor or switching-on a capacitive load.
In many cases, the peak current capability also ensures a safe operation of subsequent circuit breakers. Branch circuits
are often protected with circuit breakers or fuses. In case of a short or an overload in a branch circuit, the fuse needs a
certain amount of over-current to trip or to blow.
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:

current for 50ms, typ.

current for 5ms, typ.

FEEDING

OADS
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. (Electro 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 35Vdc. The absorbing energy can be calculated according to the built-in
large sized output capacitor which is specified in chapter 5.
