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 (including the PowerBoost) The same situation applies, when
starting a capacitive load.
Branch circuits are often protected with circuit breakers or fuses. In case of a short or an overload in the branch circuit, the protective device needs a
certain amount of over-current to trip or to blow. The peak current capability ensures the safe operation of subsequent circuit breakers.
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:

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 9.
