5 Safety regulations and installation

notes

EXPLOSION HAZARD!
Only remove equipment when it is discon-
nected and not in the potentially explosive
area.
DANGER
Components with dangerously high voltage
and high stored energy are located in the de-
vice!
Never carry out work on live parts!
Depending on the ambient temperature and
the load, the housing can become very hot!

CAUTION:
Before startup please ensure:
The connection must be carried out by a com-
petent person and protection against electric
shock guaranteed.
It must be possible to switch off power to de-
vice according to EN 60950.
All feed lines are sufficiently protected and di-
mensioned!
All output lines are dimensioned according to
the maximum output current of the device or
separately protected!
Sufficient convection must be guaranteed.
Observe mechanical and thermal limits.

CAUTION: Risk of injury

Cover termination area after installation in or-
der to avoid accidental contact with live parts
(e. g., installation in control cabinet).

NOTE: Danger if used improperly

The power supply units are built-in devices.
The device may only be installed and put into
operation by qualified personnel. The corre-
sponding national regulations must be ob-
served.

Figure 2 Convection

NOTE: enable convection

The housing can become very hot, depending
on the ambient temperature and module load.
To enable sufficient convection, we recom-
mend a minimum vertical clearance of 50 mm
from other modules. In order to ensure proper
functioning of the module, it is necessary to
maintain a lateral distance of 5 mm and
15 mm for active components.

The device can be snapped onto all DIN rails

in accordance with EN 60715 and should be
mounted in the normal mounting position
(connection terminal blocks on top and bot-
tom).

case, it supplies up to six times the nominal current for 12
ms. SFB technology therefore reliably triggers standard cir-
cuit breakers. Faults are located reliably and important sys-
tem parts remain in operation.

The following parameters are the basis for calculation:

– Circuit breaker from Siemens, B and C characteristics
(e. g., B6: 5SY6106-6)
– B characteristic: electromagnetic tripping of the circuit
breaker at the latest at (5-fold rated current) x (correc-
tion factor 1.2 at 0 Hz) = 6-fold rated current
– C characteristic: electromagnetic tripping of the circuit
breaker at the latest at (10-fold rated current) x (correc-
tion factor 1.2 at 0 Hz) = 12-fold rated current
– Ambient temperature: +20 °C
– The internal resistances of the circuit breakers are con-
sidered.
– In addition to short circuit current, the relevant power
supply unit supplies half of the nominal current for paths
connected in parallel.

The following parameters are the basis for calculation:

– CB TM1 xA SFB P device circuit breaker
– Electromagnetic triggering of the circuit breaker at the
latest at (10 times the rated current)
– Ambient temperature: +20 °C
– The internal resistance of the device circuit breakers is
taken into account
– In addition to short circuit current, the relevant power
supply unit supplies half of the nominal current for paths
connected in parallel.
