Using an external 24 V power supply
SELV or PELV power supplies can be used for the external 24 V volt supply, e.g. SITOP. The ground
potential must be connected to the protective conductor system at the power supply output
(PELV). The cross-section of this connection must be at least as large as the cross-section of the
24 V conductors.
A 24 V terminal adapter must be connected to the component for the infeed. The external power
supply should be located very close to the load.

Overcurrent protection
The cables on the primary and secondary sides of the 24 V power supply must be protected
against overcurrent.
Primary side protection must be implemented according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Secondary side protection depends on the prevailing situation. Note the following points:
• Load levels as a result of connected loads, including the rated diversity factor depending on
the operation of the machine
• Current-carrying capacity of the conductors used and cables in normal and short-circuit
conditions
• Ambient temperature
• Cable bundling (laying cables in a common duct)
• Type of cable routing
EN 60204-1, Section 14, can be used to determine the overcurrent protective devices.
