Active signal outputs

The 18 ... 24 V DC signal is applied between the "DC OK" and
Output 24 V DC the "-" connecting terminal blocks or between "I < IN" and "-"
and can carry a maximum of 20 mA. By switching from "active

13 14 + + - - - set output voltage is fallen short of by more than 10 %.
The DC OK signal is decoupled from the power output. It is
thus not possible for devices connected in parallel to act as an
18 ... 24 V DC external power supply.
20 mA
DC OK The POWER BOOST signal output I < IN signalizes that the
nominal current is exceeded. The power supply is then in
POWER BOOST mode. Thanks to this preventive function
monitoring, critical operating states can be responded to at an
early stage, prior to a voltage dip occurring.
The 18 ... 24 V DC signal can be directly connected to a logic
input for evaluation.

15 Function
Output characteristic curve
UOUT [V]

The power supply works with the static POWER BOOST

I < IN I > IN power reserve as shown in the U/I characteristic curve in the
UN figure. At ambient temperatures Tamb < +40 °C, IBOOST is
available continuously. At higher temperatures, it is available
U < 0,9 x UN for a few minutes. In the event of a secondary-side short
circuit or overload, the output current is limited to IBOOST.
Thereby, the module does not switch off, but rather supplies
a continuous output current. The secondary voltage is
IN IBOOST reduced here until the short circuit is eliminated. The U/I
IOUT [A] characteristic curve with the POWER BOOST power reserve
ensures that both high inrush currents of capacitive loads as
well as loads with DC/DC converters in the primary circuit can
be supplied.
In order to trip standard circuit breakers magnetically and
therefore quickly, power supply units have to provide a
multiple of the nominal current for a short time.
The characteristic curve shows when I < IN, I > IN and U is <
0.9 x UN. The "signaling" table is to be consulted for the
respective signaling.
UN = 24 V
IN = 40 A
IBOOST = 45 A
SFB technology = 215 A (for 12 ms)
PN = 960 W
PBOOST = 1080 W

Thermal behavior
Output current [A]

IBOOST With an ambient temperature of up to +40°C, the device

supplies the continuous output current of IBOOST. The device
IN can supply a nominal output current of IN with ambient
temperatures of up to +60°C. In the case of ambient
temperatures above +60°C, the output current must be
reduced by 2.5% per Kelvin increase in temperature. The
device does not switch off at ambient temperatures of +70°C
or thermal overload. The output capacity is reduced as far as
0
-25 20 40 60 necessary to provide device protection. After it has cooled
Ambient temperature [°C] down, the output capacity is increased again.

104317_en_01 PHOENIX CONTACT 14

 QUINT-PS/ 1AC/24DC/40

Parallel operation
Devices of the same type can be connected in parallel to
increase both redundancy and power. By default upon
delivery, no further adjustments are required.
If the output voltage is adjusted, a uniform distribution of
power is guaranteed by setting all parallel operated power
supply units to exactly the same output voltage.
To ensure symmetrical current distribution we recommend
that all cable connections from the power supply unit to the
busbar are the same length and have the same cross section.
Depending on the system, for parallel connection of more
than two power supplies a protective circuit should be
installed at each individual device output (e.g., decoupling
diode, DC fuse or circuit breaker). This prevents high return
currents in the event of a secondary device fault.

Redundant operation
IN IN Redundant circuits are suitable for the supply of systems
+ − + − which make especially high requirements on the operational
safety. If a fault occurs in the primary circuit of the first power
supply unit, the second device automatically takes over the
entire power supply, without interruption, and vice versa. For
+ this reason, the power supply units to be connected in parallel
− are dimensioned in such a way that the total current
requirement of all consumers can be completely covered by
one power supply unit. 100% redundancy makes external
decoupling diodes necessary (QUINT-DIODE/40, Order No.
Σ = IN 2938963)!
+ −

Increased performance
IN IN For n parallel connected devices, the output current can be
+ − + − increased to n x IN. Parallel connection for increasing power
is used when extending existing systems. A parallel
connection is recommended if the power supply unit does not
cover the current consumption of the most powerful load.
+ Otherwise, the load should be divided between individual
− devices that are independent from one another.
