GENERAL DESCRIPTION
SHORT-FORM DATA
The most outstanding features of this Dimension
QS40.241 DIN-rail power supply are the extremely high
efficiency and the small size, which are achieved by a
synchronous rectification, a bridgeless PFC circuit and
additional unique design details.
Output voltage
Adjustment range
Output current
Large power reserves of 150% and built-in large sized
output capacitors support the starting of heavy loads
such as DC motors or capacitive loads. In many cases this
allows the use of a unit from a lower wattage class
which saves space and money.
High immunity to transients and power surges as well as
low electromagnetic emissions makes usage in nearly
every environment possible.
The integrated input fuse as well as the near zero input
inrush current make installation and usage simple.
Diagnostics are easy due to the DC-OK relay, a green
DC-OK LED and the red overload LED.
A large international approval package for a variety of
applications makes this unit suitable for nearly every
application.

To fulfil the PELV requirements according to EN60204-1 § 6.4.1, we
recommend that either the + pole, the – pole or any other part of
the output circuit shall be connected to the protective earth
system. This helps to avoid situations in which a load starts
unexpectedly or can not be switched off when unnoticed earth
faults occur.
B*) When testing input to DC-OK ensure that the max. voltage between DC-OK and the output is not exceeded (column D). We recommend
connecting DC-OK pins and the output pins together when performing the test.

The YR80.242 is equipped with two input channels (40A each), which are individually
decoupled by utilizing mosfet technology. The output current can go as high as 80A. Using
mosfets instead of diodes reduces the heat generation and the voltage drop between input
and output. The YR80.242 does not require an additional auxiliary voltage and is selfpowered even in case of a short circuit across the output.
Due to the low power losses, the unit is very slender and only requires 46mm width on the
DIN-rail.
25.4. YR40.245 - REDUNDANCY MODULE
The YR40.245 is a 40A single channel redundancy module, which is equipped with a plug
connector on the output. The plug connector allows replacing the power supply or the
redundancy module while the system is running. The plug connector avoids that the output
wires can touch and short the load circuit.
The YR40.245 is very slender and only requires 46mm width on the DIN-rail. It also utilizes
mosfets technology instead of diodes for low heat generation and a minimal voltage drop
between input and output. It does not require an additional auxiliary voltage and is selfpowered even in case of a short circuit across the output.

26. APPLICATION NOTES
26.1. REPETITIVE PULSE LOADING
Typically, a load current is not constant and varies over time. This power supply is designed to support loads with a
higher short-term power demand (=BonusPower®). The short-term duration is hardware controlled by an output
power manager and is available on a repeated basis. If the BonusPower® load lasts longer than the hardware
controller allows it, the output voltage will dip and the next BonusPower® is available after the BonusPower® recovery
time (see chapter 6) has elapsed.
To avoid this, the following rules must be met:
a) The power demand of the pulse must be below 150% of the nominal output power.
b) The duration of the pulse power must be shorter than the allowed BonusPower® time. (see output section)
c)
The average (R.M.S.) output current must be below the specified continuous output current.
If the R.M.S. current is higher, the unit will respond with a thermal shut-down after a period of time. Use the
maximum duty cycle curve (Fig. 26-2) to check if the average output current is below the nominal current.
d) The duty cycle must be below 0.75.

A load is powered continuously with 480W (= 50% of the rated output load). From time to time a peak
power of 1440W (= 150% of the rated output load) is needed for 1 second.
The question is: How often can this pulse be supplied without overloading the power supply?
- Make a vertical line at PPEAK = 150% and a horizontal line where the vertical line crosses the P0 = 50%
curve. Read the max. duty cycle from the duty cycle-axis (= 0.37)
- Calculate the required pause (base load) length T0:

26.2. PEAK CURRENT CAPABILITY
The power supply can deliver peak currents (up to several milliseconds) which are higher than the specified short-term
currents.
This helps to start current demanding loads. Solenoids, contactors and pneumatic modules often have a steady state
coil and a pick-up coil. The inrush current demand of the pick-up coil is several times higher than the steady-state
current and usually exceeds the nominal output current (including the BonusPower®). The same situation applies when
starting a capacitive load.
The peak current capability also ensures the safe operation of subsequent circuit breakers of load circuits. The load
branches are often individually protected with circuit breakers or fuses. In case of a short or an overload in one branch
circuit, the fuse or circuit breaker need a certain amount of over-current to open in a timely manner. This avoids
voltage loss in adjacent circuits.
The extra current (peak current) is supplied by the power converter and the built-in large sized output capacitors of
the power supply. The capacitors get discharged during such an event, which causes a voltage dip on the output. The
following two examples show typical voltage dips:
Fig. 26-3 Peak load with 2x the nominal
current for 50ms, typ.
Fig. 26-4 Peak load with 5x the nominal
current for 5ms, typ.
80A Peak load (resistive) for 50ms
Output voltage dips from 24V to 18.9V.
200A Peak load (resistive) for 5ms
Output voltage dips from 24V to 13.8V.
Please note: The DC-OK relay triggers when the voltage dips more than 10% for longer than 1ms.

26.3. EXTERNAL INPUT PROTECTION
The unit is tested and approved for branch circuits up to 30A (U.S.A.) and 32A (IEC). An external protection is only
required if the supplying branch has an ampacity greater than this. Check also local codes and local requirements. In
some countries local regulations might apply.
If an external fuse is necessary or utilized, minimum requirements need to be considered to avoid nuisance tripping of
the circuit breaker. A minimum value of 16A B- or C-Characteristic breaker should be chosen, when the unit is used at
AC100 and AC120V mains voltages (including AC 230V). If the unit is used only at AC 230V mains, a 10A B- or CCharacteristic breaker is sufficient.

c)
Ensure that the output current of the power supply is below the allowed charging current of the battery.
d)
Use only matched batteries when putting 12V types in series.
e)
The return current to the power supply (battery discharge current) is typ. 35mA when the power supply is
switched off (except in case a blocking diode is utilized).
26.5. OUTPUT CIRCUIT BREAKERS
Standard miniature circuit breakers (MCB’s or UL1077 circuit breakers) are commonly used for AC-supply systems and
may also be used on DC branches.
MCB’s are designed to protect wires and circuits. If the ampere value and the characteristics of the MCB are adapted to
the wire size that is used, the wiring is considered as thermally safe regardless of whether the MCB opens or not.
To avoid voltage dips and under-voltage situations in adjacent 24V branches which are supplied by the same source, a
fast (magnetic) tripping of the MCB is desired. A quick shutdown within 10ms is necessary corresponding roughly to
the ride-through time of PLC's. This requires power supplies with high current reserves and large output capacitors.
Furthermore, the impedance of the faulty branch must be sufficiently small in order for the current to actually flow.
The best current reserve in the power supply does not help if Ohm’s law does not permit current flow. The following
table has typical test results showing which B- and C-Characteristic MCBs magnetically trip depending on the wire cross
section and wire length.

26.6. PARALLEL USE TO INCREASE OUTPUT POWER
Unit A
Power supplies from the same series (Q-Series) can be paralleled to increase
the output power. The output voltage shall be adjusted to the same value
(±100mV) in “Single use” mode with the same load conditions on all units, or
the units can be left with the factory settings. After the adjustments, the
jumper on the front of the unit shall be moved from “Single use” to “Parallel
use”, in order to achieve load sharing. The “Parallel use” mode regulates the
output voltage in such a manner that the voltage at no load is approx. 4%
higher than at nominal load. See also chapter 6. If no jumper is plugged in, the
unit is in “Single use” mode. Factory setting is also “Single use” mode.

If more than three units are connected in parallel, a fuse or circuit breaker with a rating of 50A or 63A is required on
each output. Alternatively, a diode or redundancy module can also be utilized.
Energize all units at the same time to avoid the overload HiccupPLUS mode. It also might be necessary to cycle the input
power (turn-off for at least five seconds), if the output was in HiccupPLUS mode due to overload or short circuits and the
required output current is higher than the current of one unit.
Keep an installation clearance of 15mm (left / right) between two power supplies and avoid installing the power
supplies on top of each other. Do not use power supplies in parallel in mounting orientations other than the standard
mounting orientation (terminals on the bottom of the unit) or in any other condition where a derating of the output
current is required (e.g. altitude, above 60°C, …).
Pay attention that leakage current, EMI, inrush current, harmonics will increase when using multiple power supplies.
26.7. PARALLEL USE FOR REDUNDANCY
Power supplies can be paralleled for redundancy to gain higher system availability. Redundant systems require a
certain amount of extra power to support the load in case one power supply unit fails. The simplest way is to put two
power supplies in parallel. This is called a 1+1 redundancy. In case one power supply unit fails, the other one is
automatically able to support the load current without any interruption. Redundant systems for a higher power
demand are usually built in a N+1 method. E.g. five power supplies, each rated for 40A are paralleled to build a 160A
redundant system. For N+1 redundancy the same restrictions apply as for increasing the output power, see also
chapter 26.6.
Please note: This simple way to build a redundant system does not cover failures such as an internal short circuit in
the secondary side of the power supply. In such a case, the defective unit becomes a load for the other power supplies
and the output voltage can not be maintained any more. This can be avoided by utilizing redundancy modules, which
have decoupling devices (diodes or mosfets) included. Further information and wiring configurations can be found in
chapter 25.3 and 25.4.
Recommendations for building redundant power systems:
a)
b)
c)
d)
Use separate input fuses for each power supply. A separate source for each supply when possible increases the
reliability of the redundant system.
Set the power supply into “Parallel Use” mode.
Monitor the individual power supply units. Therefore, use the DC-OK relay contact of the QS40 power supply.
It is desirable to set the output voltages of all units to the same value (± 100mV) or leave it at the factory setting.

Keep an installation clearance of 15mm (left / right) between two power supplies and avoid installing the power

Pay attention that leakage current, EMI, inrush current, harmonics will increase when using multiple power supplies.
26.9. INDUCTIVE AND CAPACITIVE LOADS
The unit is designed to supply any kind of loads, including capacitive and inductive loads. If extreme large capacitors,
such as EDLCs (electric double layer capacitors or “UltraCaps”) with a capacitance > 2.5F are connected to the output,
the unit might charge the capacitor in the HiccupPLUS mode (see chapter 6).
26.10. BACK-FEEDING LOADS
Loads such as decelerating motors and inductors can feed voltage back to the power supply. This feature is also called
return voltage immunity or resistance against Back- E.M.F. (Electro Magnetic Force).
This power supply is resistant and does not show malfunctioning when a load feeds back voltage to the power supply.
It does not matter whether the power supply is on or off.
The maximum allowed feed-back-voltage is 35Vdc. The absorbing energy can be calculated according to the built-in
large sized output capacitor which is specified in chapter 6.

26.12. USE IN A TIGHTLY SEALED ENCLOSURE
When the power supply is installed in a tightly sealed enclosure, the temperature inside the enclosure will be higher
than outside. In such situations, the inside temperature defines the ambient temperature for the power supply.
The following measurement results can be used as a reference to estimate the temperature rise inside the enclosure.
The power supply is placed in the middle of the box, no other heat producing items are inside the box

26.13. MOUNTING ORIENTATIONS
Mounting orientations other than all terminals on the bottom require a reduction in continuous output power or a
limitation in the maximum allowed ambient temperature. The amount of reduction influences the lifetime expectancy
of the power supply. Therefore, two different derating curves for continuous operation can be found below:
Curve A1
Curve A2
Recommended output current.
Max allowed output current (results in approximately half the lifetime expectancy of A1).
