Purchase now: Schneider Electric ABL8RPS24100 Power Supply
Purchase now: Atlantech Drives provides you the Schneider Electric ABL8RPS24100, a high-performance Regulated Switch Mode Power Supply (SMPS) from the renowned Phaseo ABL8 series. Designed for industrial automation systems requiring reliable 24V DC power, this 10A unit stands out for its «Universal» input capabilities, making it a versatile stock item for machine builders who export globally to countries with varying grid voltages (e.g., USA, Europe, Asia).
Technical Specifications and «Universal» Input
The ABL8RPS24100 delivers a rated power of **240 Watts (24 VDC / 10 A)**. Its defining feature is the wide input voltage range: it accepts **100…120 V AC** (Single phase) AND **200…500 V AC** (Phase-to-Phase). This means it can be powered by a standard 110V wall outlet or connected across two phases of a 400V or 480V industrial bus, eliminating the need for a separate control transformer. It includes integrated **Power Factor Correction (PFC)** to comply with IEC 61000-3-2, reducing harmonic distortion on the mains network.

Expert Tips: Using the «Power Boost»
Industrial loads like solenoids, contactors, and DC motors draw high inrush currents upon activation. Expert Tip: The ABL8RPS24100 features a temporary Power Boost capability. It can deliver up to **15 A (150% of nominal)** for short durations (typically <4 seconds) to start heavy loads without tripping into protection mode. This prevents the dreaded «hiccup mode» during machine startup sequences or when switching large valve banks.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: Can I run this unit in parallel for redundancy?
A: Yes, up to 2 units can be paralleled to increase availability (1+1 redundancy) or total power. Ensure the «Paralleling» selector switch on the front face is set correctly to balance the load.
Q: What is the relay contact for?
A: It is a «DC OK» diagnostic relay (11-14). You can wire this to a PLC input to trigger an alarm if the 24V output voltage drops below a critical threshold (e.g., 21.6V), allowing for predictive maintenance.
