Schneider Electric ABL8WPS24400 Power Supply – Reliable and Efficient Power Solution

Overview

The Schneider Electric ABL8WPS24400 is a high-performance, regulated switch-mode power supply that provides stable and reliable power for various industrial applications. This three-phase power supply operates within an input voltage range of 380 to 500 V AC across phases L1, L2, and L3, delivering a consistent 24 V DC output at 40 A. With a rated power of 960 W, this device ensures that your equipment receives a continuous and clean power source, enhancing operational efficiency. The product comes with a 2-year warranty from MRO Electric and Supply and includes free shipping, ensuring both peace of mind and cost savings for customers.

Key Features

Engineered for durability and superior performance, the ABL8WPS24400 has an anti-harmonic filter that effectively reduces low-frequency harmonic currents, enhancing power quality and protecting connected equipment. The power factor of 0.85 at 24 V DC ensures efficient energy consumption, while the high-efficiency rating of 92% minimizes energy loss during operation. Inrush current is limited to 25 A, reducing the risk of system disruptions when powering up.

One of the standout features of this power supply is its adjustable output voltage range, which can be fine-tuned between 24 to 28.8 V. This flexibility allows for optimal customization based on application requirements. The permissible temporary current boost of 1.5 times the nominal current for up to 4 seconds provides support during high-demand conditions, ensuring uninterrupted operation.

Robust Protection and Safety

Safety and longevity are integral to the design of the ABL8WPS24400. It incorporates comprehensive protection mechanisms against overloads, overvoltage (30 to 32 V with manual reset), short circuits (manual or automatic reset), and Undervoltage (tripping below 21.6 V). These features safeguard the power supply and connected devices from electrical hazards and ensure reliable performance in demanding environments.

The unit complies with international safety standards, including CSA C22.2 No 60950-1, UL 508, EN/IEC 60950-1, and EN/IEC 62368-1. Its dielectric strength capabilities—3500 V between input and ground, 4000 V between input and output, and 500 V between output and ground—further highlight its robust insulation and safety profile.

Installation and Environmental Adaptability

The ABL8WPS24400 is designed for ease of installation with its compact dimensions: a depth of 6.30 inches (160 mm), a height of 5.63 inches (143 mm), and a width of 6.54 inches (166 mm). It weighs just 5.95 lbs (2.7 kg), making it convenient to handle and mount. The device is compatible with symmetrical DIN rails (35 x 7.5 mm or 35 x 15 mm) and is intended for vertical mounting positions to optimize heat dissipation.

Built to withstand harsh industrial conditions, the power supply operates efficiently within a wide ambient temperature range: -25 to 50 °C (-13 to 122 °F) without derating and up to 60 °C (140 °F) with a derating factor. It can function at altitudes up to 2000 m (6561.68 ft) and has an IP20 protection rating, ensuring safety against dust ingress. The product also meets EMC and safety standards, making it suitable for global industrial applications.

Monitoring and Connectivity

This model features user-friendly connections via removable screw terminal blocks and screw-type terminals that support various wire sizes. Diagnostic capabilities include two status LEDs: one (green and red) for output voltage monitoring and another (green, red, and orange) for output current indication. These visual indicators provide immediate feedback on operating conditions, enhancing system reliability and maintenance efficiency.
