The C-Series is part of the DIMENSION power supply family. The most outstanding features of CPS20.241-D1 are the wide DCinput range, high efficiency, electronic inrush current limitation, wide operational temperature range. The small size is achieved by a synchronous rectification and further technological design details. Output voltage Adjustment range Output current The C-Series includes all the essential basic functions. The devices have a power reserve of 20% included, which may even be used continuously at temperatures up to +45°C. Additionally, the CPS20.241-D1 can deliver about 4 times the nominal output current for 15ms which helps to trip fuses on faulty output branches. High immunity to transients and power surges as well as low electromagnetic emission, a DC-OK relay contact and a large international approval package for a variety of applications makes this unit suitable for nearly every situation.

Above 45°C, do not use this power/ current longer than a duty cycle of 10% and/ or not longer than 1 minute every 10 minutes. HiccupPLUS Mode At heavy overloads (when output voltage falls below 13V), the DC/DC converter delivers continuous output current for 2s. After this, the output is switched off for approx. 18s before a new start attempt is automatically performed. This cycle is repeated as long as the overload exists. If the overload has been cleared, the device will operate normally. See Fig. 6-3. 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 28.5V (in “single use” mode).

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. 11.

REDUNDANCY MODULES YR40.242 – (2x 20A Inputs, 1x 40A output) The YR40.242 is equipped with two input channels, which are individually decoupled by utilizing mosfet technology. Using mosfets instead of diodes reduces the heat generation and the voltage drop between input and output. The YR40.242 does not require an additional auxiliary voltage and is self-powered even in case of a short circuit across the output. Due to the low power losses, the unit is very slender and only requires 36mm width on the DIN-rail. YR40.245 – (1x 40A input, 1x 40A output) 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 mosfet 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.

APPLICATION NOTES 22.1. PEAK CURRENT CAPABILITY The DC/DC converter 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 PowerBoost). 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 DC/DC converter. 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. 22-2 Peak load with 5x the nominal current for 5ms, typ.

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 > 0.5F are connected to the output, the unit might charge the capacitor in the HiccupPLUS-mode (see chapter 6). 22.3. EXTERNAL INPUT PROTECTION The unit is tested and approved for branch circuits up to 30A (UL) and 32A (IEC). An external protection is only required if the supplying branch has an ampacity greater than this. Provided, that the negative pole is grounded. If the positive pole is grounded, an additional external fast-acting input fuse in the negative input is required (E.g. 8A KLKD fuse from Littelfuse or a comparable UL-Listed fuse with the same ratings and characteristics). Otherwise the status of the UL approvals becomes void. 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 10A B- or C-Characteristic breaker should be used. 22.4. 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 24V 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 DC/DC converters 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 DC/DC converter 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.

PARALLEL USE TO INCREASE OUTPUT POWER CPS20.241-D1 DC/DC converter can be paralleled to increase the output power. The output voltage of all DC/DC converters 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 “Single use” mode. Unit A Input + Output + Unit B Load Input + - - Output If more than three units are connected in parallel, a fuse or circuit breaker with a rating of 30A or 32A 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 DC/DC converters and avoid installing the DC/DC converters on top of each other. Do not use DC/DC converters in parallel in mounting orientations other than the standard mounting orientation (terminals on 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 EMI and inrush current will increase when using multiple DC/DC converters. 22.6. PARALLEL USE FOR REDUNDANCY DC/DC converters 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 DC/DC converter unit fails. The simplest way is to put two DC/DC converters in parallel. This is called a 1+1 redundancy. In case one DC/DC converter 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 DC/DC converter, each rated for 20A are paralleled to build a 80A redundant system. For N+1 redundancy the same restrictions apply as for increasing the output power, see also section 22.5. 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 DC/DC converter. In such a case, the defective unit becomes a load for the other DC/DC converters 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 21.3. Recommendations for building redundant power systems: a) b) c) d) Use separate input fuses for each DC/DC converter. Set the DC/DC converter into “Parallel use” mode. Monitor the individual DC/DC converter units. Therefore, use the DC-OK relay contact of the CPS20 DC/DC converter. It is desirable to set the output voltages of all units to the same value (± 100mV) or leave it at the factory setting.

SERIES OPERATION DC/DC converters of the same type can be connected in series for higher output voltages. It is possible to connect as many units in series as needed, providing the sum of the output voltage does not exceed 150Vdc. Voltages with a potential above 60Vdc are not SELV any more and can be dangerous. Such voltages must be installed with a protection against touching. Unit A Input + Output Earthing of the output is required when the sum of the output voltage is above 60Vdc. + Unit B Load Input + - Avoid return voltage (e.g. from a decelerating motor or battery) which is applied to the output terminals. Output Earth (see notes) Keep an installation clearance of 15mm (left / right) between two DC/DC converters and avoid installing the DC/DC converters on top of each other. Do not use DC/DC converters in series in mounting orientations other than the standard mounting orientation (terminals on bottom of the unit). Pay attention that EMI and inrush current will increase when using multiple DC/DC converters. 22.8. BACK-FEEDING LOADS Loads such as decelerating motors and inductors can feed voltage back to the DC/DC converter. This feature is also called return voltage immunity or resistance against Back- E.M.F. (Electro Magnetic Force). This DC/DC converter is resistant and does not show malfunctioning when a load feeds back voltage to the DC/DC converter. It does not matter whether the DC/DC converter 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.

CHARGING OF BATTERIES The DC/DC converter can be used to charge lead-acid or maintenance free batteries. (Two 12V batteries in series) Instructions for charging batteries: a) Set output voltage (measured at no load and at the battery end of the cable) very precisely to the end-of-charge voltage. End-of-charge voltage 27.8V 27.5V 27.15V 26.8V Battery temperature 10°C 20°C 30°C 40°C b) Use a 30A or 32A circuit breaker (or blocking diode) between the DC/DC converter and the battery. c) Ensure that the output current of the DC/DC converter 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 DC/DC converter (battery discharge current) is typ. 23mA when the DC/DC converter is switched off (except in case a blocking diode is utilized). 22.10. USE IN A TIGHTLY SEALED ENCLOSURE When the DC/DC converter 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 DC/DC converter. The following measurement results can be used as a reference to estimate the temperature rise inside the enclosure. The DC/DC converter is placed in the middle of the box, no other heat producing items are inside the box Enclosure: Load: Input: Temperature inside enclosure: Temperature outside enclosure: Temperature rise: Rittal Typ IP66 Box PK 9522 100, plastic, 254x180x165mm 24V, 16A; (=80%) load is placed outside the box 300Vdc 51.5°C (in the middle of the right side of the DC/DC converter with a distance of 2cm) 25.0°C 26.5K Apr. 2014 / Rev. 1.3 DS-CPS20.241-D1-EN All parameters are specified at 24V, 20A, 300Vdc, 25°C ambient and after a 5 minutes run-in time unless otherwise noted. www.pulspower.com Phone +49 89 9278 0 Germany 24/25 CPS20.241-D1 24V, 20A, DC/DC CONVERTER C-Series 22.11. 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 DC/DC converter. 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).
