Description

ABB NGPS-12

Technical Specifications:

  • Output Voltage: 24 V DC.
  • Rated Current: 12 A (adjustable based on specific sub-models).
  • Redundancy Method: Utilizes diode isolation or MOSFET ideal diode technology.

Functional Features:

  • Seamless Switching: Achieves zero-millisecond switching to the backup power source upon primary failure, remaining completely transparent to the system.
  • Current Sharing: Supports parallel current sharing among multiple power supplies to distribute load and extend overall lifespan.
  • Comprehensive Monitoring: Provides relay alarm contacts for normal power, redundancy loss, and output short circuits.

Application Scenarios:
DCS/PLC system power supplies, safety interlock systems, critical process control stations, and continuous production processes where downtime is unacceptable.

Performance Parameters:

  • Hold-Up Time: > 20 ms at full load, withstanding instantaneous grid voltage sags.
  • Conversion Efficiency: > 90%, resulting in low power consumption and minimal heat generation.

Material Composition:
Internally utilizes high-quality electrolytic capacitors and high-frequency transformers. The housing is a metal shield providing both heat dissipation and EMI protection.

Structural Features:
Standard DIN rail mounting with clear wiring terminals and status indicator LEDs. Supports parallel clips or wiring terminals for redundancy connections.

Working Principle:
Two 24V power supplies are paralleled to the output bus via internal isolation components (diodes or MOSFETs). Under normal conditions, both share the load; if one fails, the isolation component automatically blocks reverse current, allowing the other to independently carry the full load.

Installation Requirements:
Redundant wiring must use copper conductors of equal length and cross-sectional area. Adequate cooling space must be reserved above the power supply modules.

Usage Precautions:
Never directly parallel power supplies with different output voltages or models. Regularly check the status of the redundancy monitoring relay to ensure the backup mechanism remains effective.
