Industrial Applications

Manufacturing Automation: Powers PLC systems, I/O modules, and HMI panels in assembly lines where IT power distribution eliminates the need for isolation transformers, reducing cabinet space and installation costs.

Process Control: Supports instrumentation and control circuits in chemical processing, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and food production facilities requiring ungrounded power systems for enhanced safety.

Building Management: Energizes HVAC controllers, access control systems, and lighting management networks in commercial facilities utilizing IT power architecture for improved fault tolerance.

Marine & Offshore: Operates reliably in shipboard automation and offshore platform control systems where IT power networks are mandated for safety-critical applications.

Engineering Solutions

IT Power System Compatibility: Unlike standard grounded power supplies, the 1606-XL240E operates seamlessly in IT (Isolated Terra) power networks common in European industrial installations. This eliminates ground fault trips during first-fault conditions, maintaining system operation while technicians locate and repair issues.

Wide Input Range: The 340-576V AC input accommodates voltage variations across international power grids without derating, ensuring consistent 24V DC output whether installed in 380V, 400V, 415V, or 480V systems.

Thermal Performance: Advanced thermal design with convection cooling eliminates fan noise and maintenance while supporting operation in ambient temperatures up to 70°C, critical for enclosed control cabinets in hot environments.

Diagnostic Capabilities: Front-panel LED indicators provide instant status feedback for AC input, DC output, and fault conditions, accelerating troubleshooting and reducing mean time to repair during maintenance events.

Common Questions

Q: Can this power supply operate on standard grounded (TN/TT) power systems?
A: While designed for IT power systems, the 1606-XL240E can function on grounded networks. However, for TN/TT systems, consider the standard 1606-XL240E-3 variant optimized for grounded applications.

Q: What is the recommended wire gauge for input and output connections?
A: Input terminals accept 14-10 AWG (2.5-6 mm²) wire. Output terminals accommodate 18-10 AWG (1.0-6 mm²) wire. Always follow local electrical codes and torque specifications in the installation manual.

Q: How do I calculate the required power supply capacity for my system?
A: Sum the current draw of all connected devices, add 20% safety margin, then verify the total doesn't exceed 10A. For systems requiring more than 240W, consider parallel redundant configurations using the 1606-XLERED redundancy module.

Q: Does this unit support N+1 redundancy configurations?
A: Yes, when paired with the Allen-Bradley 1606-XLERED redundancy module, multiple 1606-XL240E units can be configured for N+1 redundant operation, ensuring continuous power during maintenance or component failure.
