Description

GE IC698PSA350

Technical Specifications:

  • Input Voltage: 85–264 VAC (47–63 Hz) or 100–150 VDC
  • Maximum Input Power: 440 W typical; 500 W maximum
  • Output Power: 350 W total across outputs
  • Outputs: +5 VDC (up to 60 A); +12 VDC (up to 12 A); -12 VDC (up to 4 A)
  • Protection: Overcurrent, overvoltage, overtemperature, airflow sensing
  • Power Factor: 0.99 (AC)
  • Hold Time: 15 ms; Ride-Through: 5 ms
  • Isolation: 1500 VAC (1 minute) between input and outputs
  • Operating Temperature: 0 °C to 60 °C

Functional Features:

  • Provides high current to fully populated RX7i racks
  • LEDs for Field OK, Output OK, and Overtemp status
  • Airflow sensor detects fan failure; can trigger Overtemp LED
  • Logic-level switch controls outputs without cutting AC input
  • A and B series variants with different fuse types for service flexibility

Application Scenarios:

  • Large RX7i configurations with high I/O and option module counts
  • Process plants with high availability and redundancy requirements
  • Applications with power-hungry communication and motion control modules

Performance Parameters:

  • High output current ensures stable operation under heavy loads
  • Advanced protection reduces risk of damage from electrical faults
  • Efficient design minimizes heat generation

Material and Structural Characteristics:

  • Single-slot module with robust terminal connectors
  • Designed for forced-air cooling; requires compatible rack fan tray
  • Industrial-grade components with optional conformal coating

Working Principle: The module converts wide-range input to tightly regulated DC outputs, monitors operating conditions, and shuts down or limits output when faults occur. It also issues sequencing signals for controlled module startup. Installation Requirements:

  • Install in slot 0 of an RX7i rack
  • Ensure adequate airflow; rack should include a 70 CFM fan tray
  • Use appropriate wire gauges for input connections and grounding
  • Verify jumper settings for airflow sensor if used

Usage Notes:

  • Do not operate without adequate cooling
  • Monitor Overtemp LED for airflow or cooling issues
  • Replace fuses with the specified type and rating after an event
  • Follow lockout/tagout procedures during maintenance
