GENERAL DESCRIPTION
SHORT-FORM DATA
The most outstanding features of this Dimension QSeries DIN-rail power supply are the high efficiency and
the small size, which are achieved by a synchronous
rectification and further novel design details. The QSeries is part of the Dimension family, existing alongside
the lower featured C-Series.
Output voltage
Adjustment range
Output current
With short-term peak power capability of 150% and
built-in large sized output capacitors, these features
help start motors, charge capacitors and absorb reverse
energy and often allow a unit of a lower wattage class
to be used.
High immunity to transients and power surges as well as
low electromagnetic emission makes usage in nearly
every environment possible.
The integrated output power manager, a wide range
input voltage design and virtually no input inrush
current make installation and usage simple. Diagnostics
are easy due to the dry DC-ok contact, a green DC-ok
LED and red overload LED.

BonusPower®, short term power capability (up to typ. 4s)
The power supply is designed to support loads with a higher short-term power requirement without damage or shutdown. The shortterm duration is hardware controlled by an output power manager. This BonusPower® is repeatedly available. Detailed information
can be found in chapter 22.1. If the power supply is loaded longer with the BonusPower® than shown in the Bonus-time diagram (see
Fig. 6-2), the max. output power is automatically reduced to 240W.
Discharge current of output capacitors is not included.
This is the maximum output voltage which can occur at the clockwise end position of the potentiometer due to tolerances. It is not
guaranteed value which can be achieved. The typical value is about 33.2V.
Peak current capability (up to several milliseconds)
The power supply can deliver a peak current which is higher than the specified short term current. This helps to start
current demanding loads or to safely operate subsequent circuit breakers.
The extra current is supplied by the output capacitors inside the power supply. During this event, the capacitors will be
discharged and causes a voltage dip on the output. Detailed curves can be found in chapter 22.2.

Note: The DC-ok feature requires that the output voltage reaches the nominal (=adjusted) level after turn-on in order to function according
to specification. If this level cannot be achieved, the overload lamp will be on and the DC-ok contact will be open. The overload signal
will only shut off as soon as the adjusted voltage is reached. This is an important condition to consider particularly, if the load is a
battery, the power supply is used in parallel or the power supply is used for N+1 redundant systems.

The Lifetime expectancy shown in the table indicates the minimum operating hours (service life) and is determined by the lifetime
expectancy of the built-in electrolytic capacitors. Lifetime expectancy is specified in operational hours and is calculated according to the
capacitor’s manufacturer specification. The manufacturer of the electrolytic capacitors only guarantees a maximum life of up to 15 years
(131 400h). Any number exceeding this value is a calculated theoretical lifetime which can be used to compare devices.
**) MTBF stands for Mean Time Between Failure, which is calculated according to statistical device failures, and indicates reliability of a
device. It is the statistical representation of the likelihood of a unit to fail and does not necessarily represent the life of a product.
The MTBF figure is a statistical representation of the likelihood of a device to fail. A MTBF figure of e.g. 1 000 000h means that
statistically one unit will fail every 100 hours if 10 000 units are installed in the field. However, it can not be determined if the failed unit
has been running for 50 000h or only for 100h.

23. APPLICATION NOTES
23.1. 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. 22-2) to check if the average output current is below the nominal current.

A load is powered continuously with 120W (= 50% of the rated output load). From time to time a peak
power of 360W (= 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:
- Result: The required pause length = 1.7s

23.2. PEAK CURRENT CAPABILITY
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 PowerBoost). The same situation applies when starting a capacitive load.
Branch circuits are often protected with circuit breakers or fuses. In case of a short or an overload in the branch circuit,
the fuse needs a certain amount of over-current to trip or to blow. The peak current capability ensures the safe
operation of subsequent circuit breakers.
Assuming the input voltage is turned on before such an event, the built-in large sized output capacitors inside the
power supply can deliver extra current. Discharging this capacitor causes a voltage dip on the output. The following
two examples show typical voltage dips:
Fig. 22-3 Peak load with 2x the nominal
current for 50ms, typ.
Fig. 22-4 Peak load with 4x the nominal
current for 5ms, typ.
Peak load 16A (resistive) for 50ms
Output voltage dips from 30V to 26V.
Peak load 32A (resistive) for 5ms
Output voltage dips from 30V to 22V.
Please note: The DC-OK relay triggers when the voltage dips more than 10% for longer than 1ms.
23.3. 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.
23.4. EXTERNAL INPUT PROTECTION
The unit is tested and approved for branch circuits up to 20A. 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 6A B- or 4A C-Characteristic breaker should be used

23.5. 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 30V 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 30V 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.

23.6. PARALLEL USE TO INCREASE OUTPUT POWER
Unit A
AC
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) with the same load conditions on all units, or the units can be left
with the factory settings.
+
-
DC
+
Unit B
If more than three units are connected in parallel, a fuse or circuit breaker
with a rating of 10A or 13A is required on each output. Alternatively, a diode
or redundancy module can also be utilized.
Load
AC
+
-
-
Keep an installation clearance of 15mm (left / right) between two power
DC
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 (input terminals
on bottom and output terminals on the top 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.
23.7. 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 8A are paralleled to build a 32A redundant system. For
N+1 redundancy the same restrictions apply as for increasing the
output power, see also section 22.6.
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
decoupling diodes which are included in the redundancy module

Use separate input fuses for each power supply.
Monitor the individual power supply units. Therefore, use the DC-OK relay contact of the QS10 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.

Daisy chaining (jumping from one power supply output to the next) is allowed as long as the average output current
through one terminal pin does not exceed 25A. If the current is higher, use a separate distribution terminal block as
shown in Fig. 22-7.

Such a phase-to-phase connection is allowed as long as the supplying
voltage is below 240V+15%. Use a fuse or a circuit breaker to protect the N
input. The N input is internally not protected and is in this case connected to
a hot wire. Appropriate fuses or circuit breakers are specified in section 22.4

23.12. 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

23.13. MOUNTING ORIENTATIONS
Mounting orientations other than input terminals on the bottom and output on the top 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).
