Peak Efficiency (95%): The 1606-XLS480E-3 minimizes power dissipation, significantly reducing heat buildup inside control cabinets. This high efficiency extends the service life of both the power supply and adjacent electronic components.
Three-Phase Load Balancing: By utilizing a three-phase input (380–480V AC), this module prevents phase imbalance issues on the factory grid. It draws current evenly across all three phases, reducing neutral wire stress and electrical noise.
Performance Power Reserve: The XLS series handles short-term peak currents that exceed the nominal rating. This "Power Boost" capability allows the module to start high-inertia loads, such as DC motors or large solenoid banks, without voltage drops or tripping.
Vibration-Proof Spring Clamps: Standard screw terminals often loosen in high-vibration environments. The 1606-XLS480E-3 utilizes advanced spring clamp connectors that maintain constant pressure on the wire, ensuring a maintenance-free, gas-tight connection for the life of the machine.
Global Compatibility: The wide input range and multi-phase support allow for seamless deployment in various international regions without the need for additional step-down transformers.
Can I adjust the output voltage above 24V DC?
Yes. The 1606-XLS480E-3 features a front-mounted potentiometer that allows you to adjust the output between 24V and 28V DC. This compensates for voltage drops across long cable runs to remote I/O or field devices.
Does this power supply support parallel operation for redundancy?
Yes, the 1606-XLS series supports parallel connection to increase total current or to create a redundant (N+1) power architecture. For mission-critical redundancy, we recommend using a 1606-XLSRED redundancy module to isolate the power supplies.
What is the benefit of the three-phase input over a single-phase model?
The three-phase input provides a much smoother DC ripple before regulation and places a balanced load on your facility's electrical distribution. It also allows for higher power output (480W) in a narrower chassis compared to equivalent single-phase units.
What environmental protections does this unit offer?
This module operates in temperatures as high as 70°C (with appropriate derating) and features a rugged metal housing. The open-style enclosure is designed for protected installation within an IP20 or better control cabinet to ensure cooling via natural convection.
