Description
ABB NPOW-62C
- Technical Specifications:
- Input: 24 V DC (18–32 V DC), typ. fused externally 5 A slow-blow
- Output:
- 5 V DC: 3 A max (some versions 4 A) — regulation ±2 %
- 24 V DC UP: Pass-through from input (current-limited by input fuse & thermal), typical max 2–4 A total for I/O modules (sum all S100 module logic + DO coil current)
- Hold-up Time: ≥20 ms @ full load
- Redundancy: Yes — up to 2 NPOW-62C diode-OR in same rack
- Alarm Contact: 1 × SPDT (form C) — rated 1 A @ 30 V DC / 0.5 A @ 250 V AC
- Mounting: Advant 450 rack PSU slot (left side of rack) or DIN rail (with adapter — some versions)
- Operating Temp.: 0 °C to +55 °C (–20 °C to +70 °C storage)
- Dimensions: ≈100 mm (W) × 265 mm (H) × 180 mm (D) — fits Advant rack
- Certifications: CE, UL, cUL, marine (DNV etc.)
- Functional Features / Application / Material / Structure / Working Principle / Installation / Precautions:
- Used in every Advant 450 / MasterPiece 200 node — size PSU for:
- CPU + Com cards (~0.5–1 A @5 V)
- S100 I/O modules (each DI/AI ~50–100 mA logic; each DO relay coil if powered from UP terminal ~30–50 mA × #energized)
- Rule of thumb: ∑(S100 module 5 V current) ≤ NPOW 5 V rating; ∑(DO coil current + AI excitation) ≤ UP current rating (typically 2–3 A)
- Install: connect plant 24 V DC (+ / –) to NPOW input terminals → verify Input & 5 V OK LEDs → connect S100 bus from NPOW to first S100 TU (or to CI520A if AC 800M + S100)
- For redundant: install 2 × NPOW-62C → both input from plant DC (ideally separate feeds or diode-OR ahead) → system auto-selects; alarm contacts of both wired to annunciator (any one fails → alarm)
- Precaution: Do NOT exceed UP current — if many DO relay modules (SPDO13) energized simultaneously >UP rating → voltage sag → DI/AI mis-read. In large racks split DO load across multiple racks each with own NPOW, or use external 24 V DC for DO loads (some DO modules allow external UP — check TB567 jumper). Verify fuse on plant 24 V DC sized for inrush (NPOW has soft-start but input inrush <2 × steady).
- Keep spare NPOW-62C if critical — PSU electrolytic caps age (~10–12 yr); periodic PM check of output voltages & alarm contact function.
