FEEDING
L
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 6.

ROTECTION
The unit is tested and approved for branch circuits up to 30A (UL) and 32A (IEC). An external protection is only
required if the supplying branch has an ampacity greater than this. Check also local codes and local requirements. In
some countries local regulations might apply.
If an external fuse is necessary or utilized, minimum requirements need to be considered to avoid nuisance tripping of
the circuit breaker. A minimum value of 10A B- or 6A C-Characteristic breaker should be used.

EDUNDANCY
Power supplies 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 power supply unit fails. The simplest way is to put two
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.
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 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 redundancy module
YR40.241.
Recommendations for building redundant power systems:
a)
Monitor the individual power supply units. Therefore, use the
DC-OK relay contact of the PIC480.241C power supply.
b)
Use separate input fuses for each
power supply.
c)
Use separate mains systems for each power supply whenever it is
possible.
d)
It is desirable to set the output voltages of all units to the same value (± 100mV) or leave it at the factory setting.
