ABB SD831 3BSC610064R1 Power Supply 24V DC 3A | AC 800M S800 I/O

ABB SD831 Power Supply Device - Reliable 24V DC Industrial Power Solution

The ABB SD831 (3BSC610064R1) represents industrial-grade power conversion technology engineered for mission-critical automation systems requiring uninterrupted 24V DC power delivery. This compact DIN-rail power supply provides 3A continuous output current with >85% efficiency, supporting ABB AC 800M controllers, S800 I/O modules, and Advant OCS distributed control systems across process industries demanding five-nines availability.

Core Technical Specifications

Power Conversion Architecture & Performance

Wide Input Range Flexibility: The SD831 accepts universal AC input from 100-240V at 47-63 Hz, eliminating the need for voltage selection switches and simplifying global deployment. The unit also supports DC input from 110-300V, enabling operation from battery backup systems, solar installations, or DC distribution networks common in telecommunications and transportation applications.

High-Efficiency Switching Topology: Advanced switch-mode power supply (SMPS) design achieves >85% conversion efficiency across the full load range, minimizing heat dissipation and reducing cooling requirements. The compact form factor occupies just 50mm of DIN-rail width, enabling high-density installations in space-constrained control cabinets.

Tight Output Regulation: Precision feedback control maintains 24V DC output within ±2% tolerance across input voltage variations, load transients, and temperature extremes. This stability ensures consistent operation of sensitive control electronics and prevents nuisance trips from undervoltage protection circuits.

Industrial Applications & System Integration

AC 800M Controller Power: Provides primary or redundant power for ABB's AC 800M processor units (PM8xx series), communication interfaces (CI8xx modules), and baseplate assemblies. The 3A output capacity supports typical controller configurations with multiple I/O communication links and diagnostic modules.

S800 I/O System Supply: Powers distributed S800 I/O racks containing digital input/output modules, analog signal conditioners, and specialty function blocks. Multiple SD831 units can be paralleled using external diode-OR circuits or ABB's SS8XX voting units for N+1 redundancy architectures.

Advant OCS Retrofit: Serves as drop-in replacement for legacy power supplies in Advant OCS installations, enabling phased migration to AC 800M platforms while maintaining existing I/O infrastructure. Backward compatibility reduces upgrade costs and minimizes commissioning time.

Panel Instrumentation: Supplies 24V DC power for panel-mounted HMIs, indicator lights, relay coils, and transmitter loops in process control cabinets. The wide operating temperature range supports outdoor enclosures and harsh industrial environments without derating.

Redundancy & High Availability Features

The SD831 supports redundant power configurations when paired with ABB's SS8XX voting units or third-party redundancy modules. In N+1 architectures, multiple power supplies operate in parallel with automatic load sharing and seamless failover during supply failures. The unit's built-in current limiting prevents overload conditions from propagating to healthy supplies during fault scenarios.

Diagnostic Outputs: DC-OK relay contact provides remote monitoring of output voltage status, enabling integration with SCADA alarm systems and predictive maintenance programs. The contact closes when output voltage exceeds 22V and opens during undervoltage or fault conditions, triggering immediate operator notification.

Inrush Current Management: Soft-start circuitry limits input surge current to <30A peak during power-up, preventing nuisance trips of upstream circuit breakers and extending contact life in switching equipment. This feature is critical in systems with multiple power supplies energizing simultaneously after utility restoration.

Protection Mechanisms & Safety

• Overvoltage Protection: Electronic crowbar circuit clamps output to <30V during internal fault conditions, protecting downstream electronics from destructive voltage spikes
• Overcurrent Limiting: Constant-current foldback reduces output to safe levels during overload, allowing temporary peak demands while preventing thermal damage
• Short-Circuit Proof: Hiccup-mode operation cycles power during sustained short circuits, enabling automatic recovery when fault clears without manual intervention
• Thermal Shutdown: Internal temperature sensor initiates controlled shutdown at 85°C junction temperature, with automatic restart after cooling to safe levels
• Input Transient Immunity: Surge suppression withstands 2kV common-mode and 1kV differential-mode transients per IEC 61000-4-5, ensuring operation in electrically noisy industrial environments

Installation & Commissioning

The SD831 mounts on standard 35mm DIN rail (EN 60715 TH35) using spring-loaded clips that enable tool-free installation and removal. Screw-clamp terminals accept 0.5-2.5mm² wire (AWG 20-14) with captive pressure plates preventing strand damage. Recommended torque: 0.5-0.6 Nm.

Wiring Guidelines: Input and output circuits should use separate cable runs to minimize EMI coupling. Output wiring to distributed loads requires voltage drop calculations to ensure <0.5V loss at maximum current, typically limiting cable runs to 50 meters with 1.5mm² conductors. Star-point grounding at the power supply output terminal reduces ground loop noise.

Derating Considerations: Full 3A output is available up to 50°C ambient temperature. Above 50°C, derate linearly to 2.1A at 60°C maximum ambient. Ensure adequate ventilation with minimum 50mm clearance above and below the unit for convection cooling.

Compliance & Environmental

The SD831 meets international safety standards including UL 508 (industrial control equipment), EN 50178 (electronic equipment for power installations), and IEC 61131-2 (programmable controllers). ATEX Zone 2 and IECEx certification permits installation in hazardous area control rooms adjacent to classified process areas.

EMC Performance: Complies with EN 61000-6-2 (immunity) and EN 61000-6-4 (emissions) for industrial environments, ensuring coexistence with variable frequency drives, welding equipment, and high-power switching devices without interference.

Environmental Compliance: RoHS-compliant construction eliminates lead, mercury, and other restricted substances. WEEE Category 5 classification facilitates end-of-life recycling through authorized electronics waste processors.
