11. Boost Currents
The power supply provides the static boost (IStat.Boost) for a sustained load supply or the
time-limited dynamic boost (IDyn.Boost).
11.1 Static Boost
For system expansion purposes, the sustained static boost (IStat.Boost) supports the load
supply with up to 125% of the nominal current of the power supply. Due to the self-heating
caused by heat from electrical current, the static boost can be used at ambient temperatures
of ≤40°C.
Figure 16 Performance characteristic in static boost
11.2 Dynamic Boost
Dynamic boost (IDyn.Boost) delivers up to 200% of the power supply nominal current to
supply high loads. This temporary power supply to the load lasts a maximum of 5 s at an
ambient temperature of up to 60°C.
