These multi-application power supplies will meet the most demanding requirements and challenging environmental conditions of temperature range, shock and vibration, mains fluctuations and high-energy overvoltage pulses. The PCC series has been designed around the core functionality of a power supply – reliable power even under difficult conditions – while being a compact design with market-leading electrical and mechanical robustness, high reliability and long service lifetime. 

Key features include:

• Top Boost – Enables the use of conventional circuit breakers for selective protection of DC 24 V power supply circuits.

• Power Boost – large power reserves secure the start-up of loads with high inrush currents.

• Mains input fuse – integrated fuses permit device protection without the use of required preliminary fuses.

• Monitoring – interfaces and configurable signal outputs ensure extensive input and output supply monitoring possibilities.

• Software-free parameter diagnostic software is available for devices with integrated interfaces.

• Active inrush current limiting – options are available which limit inrush currents to a minimum, avoiding unwanted tripping of the upstream fuse.

• High efficiency and compact design.

• Protection against shock and vibration.

• Protection against transient mains overvoltage events.

• Wide range of safety standards and approvals.

• Complies with the latest EMC standards.
