What changes when power conversion moves closer to the load? The power supplies can combine decentralised installation with options for selective load protection.
RECOM has expanded its RACPRO1 family with two 720W power supply series designed for decentralised industrial power systems. Both of the models in the RACPRO1-DP-T720 and RACPRO1-DP-T720-4SP series have an IP67 rating and are suitable for installation outside of control cabinets. The latter includes a 4-channel electronic fuse (e-Fuse).
Traditionally, power supplies have been installed within control cabinets to supply power to equipment throughout an industrial environment. Decentralised power solutions bring power conversion closer to the point of use, reducing wiring, cost of installation and providing greater flexibility to machine builders.
The first range has an output of 720W and can take 3 phase AC inputs ranging between 320VAC and 600VAC and 425VDC to 800VDC DC inputs. With an efficiency of up to 96.8 percent, this power supply can deliver its full output power up to +45°C using convection cooling. It can also deliver up to 1080W of power for 5 seconds during short-term overload situations. The high power density of 400W/L makes it suitable for space-saving installations.
The second series comes with 4 isolated outputs with built-in e-Fuse. This provides each output with an adjustable current limit, meaning there will be individual protection for multiple loads supplied by this unit. Additional features include safe start-up for capacitive loads, selectable hiccup/trip modes and priority disconnect during overload.
These are suitable for use in a range of applications such as factory and process automation, machine building, intralogistics, battery energy storage, water treatment, HVAC and agriculture.
“With the new RACPRO1-DP-T720 and RACPRO1-DP-T720-4SP series, we are expanding our portfolio of decentralised power solutions with two product series addressing different industrial application requirements. While the RACPRO1-DP-T720 series provides a robust high-performance power supply, the RACPRO1-DP-T720-4SP series combines power conversion and an integrated e-Fuse in one compact solution,” says Michael Peters, Product Manager at RECOM.
