*) 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 short-
term duration is hardware controlled by an output power manager. This BonusPower® is repeatedly available. Detailed information
can be found in chapter 25.1. If the power supply is loaded longer with the BonusPower® than shown in the Bonus-time diagram (see
Fig. 6-5), the max. output power is automatically reduced to 960W. If the power requirement is continuously above 960W and the
voltage falls below approx. 20V (due to the current regulating mode at overload), the unit shuts-off and makes periodical restart
attempts. This behavior is called hiccup mode which is described below. If the voltage is above 20V, the unit continuously delivers
current.
**) HiccupPLUS Mode
Up to 4s of overloading, the power supply delivers continuous output current. After this, the output power is reduced to nearly zero
for approx. 17s before a new start attempt is automatically performed. If the overload has been cleared, the device will operate
normally. If the overload still exists, the output current will be delivered for 2 to 4s (depending on the overload) again followed by a
17s rest time. This cycle is repeated as long as the overload exists. See Fig. 6-3. During the off-period a small rest voltage and rest
current is present on the output.
***) 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.

8. DC-OK RELAY CONTACT

This feature monitors the output voltage, which is produced by the power supply itself. It is independent of a back-fed
voltage from a unit connected in parallel to the power supply output.
Contact closes As soon as the output voltage reaches 90% of the adjusted output voltage.
Contact opens As soon as the output voltage dips more than 10% below the adjusted output voltage.
Short dips will be extended to a signal length of 250ms. Dips shorter than 1ms will be ignored.

9. SHUT-DOWN INPUT
This feature allows a switch-off of the output of the power supply with a signal switch or an external voltage. The
shut-down occurs immediately while the turn-on is delayed up to 350ms. In a shut-down condition, the output voltage
is <2V and the output power is <0.5W.
The voltage between different minus pole output terminals must be below 1V when units are connected in parallel. In
a series operation of multiple power supplies only wiring option “A” with individual signal switches is allowed.
Please note:
- Option C requires a current sink capability of the voltage source. Do not use a blocking diode.
- The shut-down function has no safety feature included.

3. Apply a control voltage to reduce the output voltage
11. INTERNAL DATA LOGGING

A protected microcontroller inside the power supply acquires and stores operating data during the life of the unit. The
data can be downloaded with a small tool and special software by the PULS service and repair personnel, even when
the unit is defect. The data allows for better troubleshooting. Analysis of what happened before a failure can be
determined much more accurately.
Acquired data:
- Family name of unit (QS40), revision of firmware
- Operational hours
- Expired portion of lifetime (combination of temperature and period of time)
- Maximum ambient temperatures with timestamp (max. 47 values)
- Maximal input voltages with timestamp (max. 47 values) and type of input voltage (AC or DC)
- Failure report (various internal errors)
- Number and timestamp of input overvoltage transients
- Number and timestamp of over-temperature shut-downs
- Number of turn-on sequences
The data will be acquired with a fixed sampling rate unless the peak detectors do trigger due to an abnormal
condition. In such cases, the abnormal condition will be captured. Furthermore, data will be acquired every time
shortly before the unit switches off.

*) The calculated 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.

in a regulated process. One buffer module can deliver 20A. To buffer the full output
current of 40A, two buffer modules are needed in parallel.
The buffer unit does not require any control wiring. It can be added in parallel to
the load circuit at any given point. Buffer units can be added in parallel to increase

24.3. YR80.242 - REDUNDANCY MODULE
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 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 46mm width on the
DIN-rail.
24.4. 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
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 self-
powered even in case of a short circuit across the output.

25. APPLICATION NOTES
25.1. 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. 25-2) to check if the average output current is below the nominal current.
d) The duty cycle must be below 0.75.

Example: 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:
- Result: The required pause length = 1.7s Tpeak - (DutyCycle x Tpeak) 1s - (0.37 x 1s)
T0= = = 1.7s
- Max. repetition rate = pulse +pause length = 2.7s DutyCycle 0.37

QS40.241
25.2. 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:

25.3. 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 C-
Characteristic breaker is sufficient.

25.4. CHARGING OF BATTERIES

The power supply 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 50A or 63A circuit breaker (or blocking diode) between the power supply and the battery.
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).
25.5. 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.

25.6. PARALLEL USE TO INCREASE OUTPUT POWER Unit A
Power supplies from the same series (Q-Series) can be paralleled to increase AC
+
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 -
DC
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 Unit B
Load
use”, in order to achieve load sharing. The “Parallel use” mode regulates the AC
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. DC
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.
25.7. 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 25.6.
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 24.3 and 24.4.
Recommendations for building redundant power systems:
a) Use separate input fuses for each power supply. A separate source for each supply when possible increases the
reliability of the redundant system.
b) Set the power supply into “Parallel Use” mode.
c) Monitor the individual power supply units. Therefore, use the DC-OK relay contact of the QS40 power supply.
d) It is desirable to set the output voltages of all units to the same value (± 100mV) or leave it at the factory setting.

25.8. SERIES OPERATION Unit A

AC
Power supplies 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, -
DC
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. Unit B
Load
Such voltages must be installed with a protection against touching. AC
Earthing of the output is required when the sum of the output voltage is + -
above 60Vdc. -
DC Earth
Avoid return voltage (e.g. from a decelerating motor or battery) which is (see notes)
applied to the output terminals.
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 series in mounting orientations other than the standard
mounting orientation (terminals on the bottom of the unit).
Pay attention that leakage current, EMI, inrush current, harmonics will increase when using multiple power supplies.
25.9. 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).
25.10. 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.

25.12. 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
Enclosure: Rittal Typ IP66 Box PK 9522 100, plastic, 254x180x165mm
Load: 24V, 32A; (=80%) load is placed outside the box

25.13. 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 Recommended output current.
Curve A2 Max allowed output current (results in approximately half the lifetime expectancy of A1).
