Such devices have an intermediate DC- bus where all individual drives are connected. The QTD20 DC/DC converter can be connected directly to the intermediate DC-bus. In case of a mains failure, the QTD20 utilizes the power from the DC-bus capacitors which are charged from the kinetic energy of the motor until the motor has come to a complete stop. The intermediate DC-bus is usually unfiltered and have high EMI noise so the QTD20 has a very robust input stage and an appropriate input filter included. Additionally, the QTD20 is UL 508 approved and is equipped with input fuses which are rated and tested for 600Vdc applications.

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. 10.

20.3. UF20.241 - BUFFER MODULE This buffer unit is a supplementary device for DC 24V power supplies and DC/DC converter. It delivers power to bridge typical mains failures or extends the hold-up time after turn-off of the AC or DC power. In times when the DC/DC converter provides sufficient voltages, the buffer unit stores energy in the integrated electrolytic capacitors. In case of mains voltage fault, this energy is released again in a regulated process. 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 the output ampacity or the hold-up time. DC Buffer Unit(s) Power Supply Load AC + - 20.4. YR40.241 - REDUNDANCY MODULE The YR40.241 redundancy module is equipped with two input channels (20A each), which are individually decoupled by utilizing MOSFET technology. The output current can go as high as 40A. Using MOSFET instead of diodes reduces the heat generation and the voltage drop between input and output. The YR40.241 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 36mm width on the DIN-rail.

21. APPLICATION NOTES 21.1. REPETITIVE PULSE LOADING Typically, a load current is not constant and varies over time. This DC/DC converter 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 5) has elapsed. To avoid this, the following rules must be met: a) The power demand of the pulse must be below 125% 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. 21-2) to check if the average output current is below the nominal current. d) The duty cycle must be below 0.75.

From time to time a peak power of 600W (= 125% of the rated output load) is needed for 1 second. The question is: How often can this pulse be supplied without overloading the DC/DC converter? - Make a vertical line at PPEAK = 125% 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: 21/27 - Result: The required pause length = 1.7s - Max. repetition rate = pulse +pause length = 2.7s More examples for pulse load compatibility: PPEAK P0 TPEAK T0 PPEAK P0 TPEAK T0 600W 480W 1s >25s 600W 240W 0.1s >0.16s 600W 0W 1s >1.3s 600W 240W 1s >1.6s 540W 240W 1s > 0.75s 600W 240W 3s >4.9s DutyCycle T0= Tpeak - (DutyCycle x Tpeak) 0.37 1s - (0.37 x 1s) = =1.7s Oct. 2016 / Rev. 2.0 DS-QTD20.241-EN All parameters are specified at 24V, 20A, 600Vdc input, 25°C ambient and after a 5 minutes run-in time unless otherwise noted. www.pulspower.com Phone +49 89 9278 0 Germany

21.2. PEAK CURRENT CAPABILITY The DC/DC converter 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 DC/DC converter. The capacitors get discharged during such an event, which causes a voltage dip on the output. The following two examples show typical voltage dips: Fig. 21-3 Peak load with 2x the nominal current for 50ms, typ. Fig. 21-4 Peak load with 5x the nominal current for 5ms, typ. 10ms/DIV Output Voltage Output Current 24V 0A 40A 13V 1ms/DIV Output Voltage Output Current 24V 0A 100A 4V 40A Peak load (resistive) for 50ms Output voltage dips from 24V to 13V. 100A Peak load (resistive) for 5ms Output voltage dips from 24V to 4V.

EXTERNAL INPUT PROTECTION The unit is tested and approved for branch circuits up to 15A (U.S.A.) and 16A (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 6A B- or 3A C-Characteristic breaker should be chosen.

21.4. CHARGING OF BATTERIES The DC/DC converter 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 25A circuit breaker (or blocking diode) between the DC/DC converter and the battery. c) Ensure that the output current of the DC/DC converter 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 DC/DC converter (battery discharge current) is typ. 16mA when the DC/DC converter is switched off (except in case a blocking diode is utilized).

21.5. 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 DC/DC converter 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. Fig. 21-5 Test circuit Maximal wire length*) for a fast (magnetic) tripping: 0.75mm² 1.0mm² 1.5mm² 2.5mm² C-2A 31m 39m 59m 86m C-3A 24m 31m 43m 68m C-4A 15m 15m 32m 41m C-6A - - - - B-6A 16m 25m 34m 58m MCB Power Supply AC DC + - + - Load Wire length S1...

SERIES OPERATION DC/DC converters 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, 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. Such voltages must be installed with a protection against touching. Unit B - + Load + - Input Output - + Unit A Input Output Avoid return voltage (e.g. from a decelerating motor or battery) which is 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 (input terminals on the bottom of the unit). Pay attention that leakage current, EMI, inrush current, harmonics will increase when using multiple DC/DC converters.

21.7. PARALLEL USE TO INCREASE OUTPUT POWER DC/DC converters and power supplies from the same series (Q-Series) can be paralleled to increase the output power. The output voltage shall be adjusted to the same value (±100mV) or the units can be left with the factory settings. 25/27 If more than three units are connected in parallel, a fuse or circuit breaker with a rating of 25A is required on each output. Alternatively, a diode or redundancy module can also be utilized. Keep an installation clearance of 15mm (left / right) between two power supplies and avoid installing the DC/DC converters or power supplies on top of each other. Do not use DC/DC converters or power supplies in parallel in mounting orientations other than the standard mounting orientation (input 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, …). Unit B - + Load + - - + Unit A Input Output Input Output Pay attention that leakage current, EMI, inrush current, harmonics will increase when using multiple DC/DC converters. 21.8. PARALLEL USE FOR REDUNDANCY DC/DC converters 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 DC/DC converter unit fails. The simplest way is to connect two DC/DC converters in parallel. This is called a 1+1 redundancy. In case one DC/DC converter 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 DC/DC converters, each rated for 20A are paralleled to build a 80A redundant system. For N+1 redundancy the same restrictions apply as for increasing the output power, see also chapter 21.7. 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 DC/DC converter. 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 20.4. Recommendations for building redundant power systems: a) Use separate input fuses for each DC/DC converter. A separate source for each supply when possible increases the reliability of the redundant system. b) Monitor the individual DC/DC converter units. Therefore, use the DC-OK relay contact of the QTD20.241. c) It is desirable to set the output voltages of all units to the same value (± 100mV) or leave it at the factory setting. 21.9.

21.10. BACK-FEEDING LOADS Loads such as decelerating motors and inductors can feed voltage back to the DC/DC converter. This feature is also called return voltage immunity or resistance against Back- E.M.F. (Electro Magnetic Force). This DC/DC converter is resistant and does not show malfunctioning when a load feeds back voltage to the DC/DC converter. It does not matter whether the DC/DC converter is on or off. The maximum allowed feed-back-voltage is 34Vdc. The absorbing energy can be calculated according to the built-in output capacitor which is specified in chapter 5. 21.11. USE IN A TIGHTLY SEALED ENCLOSURE When the DC/DC converter 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 DC/DC converter. The following measurement results can be used as a reference to estimate the temperature rise inside the enclosure. The DC/DC converter is placed in the middle of the box, no other heat producing items are inside the box Enclosure: Rittal Typ IP66 Box PK 9519 100, plastic, 180x180x165mm Load: 24V, 16A; (=80%) load is placed outside the box Input: 600Vdc Temperature inside enclosure: 54.9°C (in the middle of the right side of the DC/DC converter with a distance of 2cm) Temperature outside enclosure: 22.6°C Temperature rise: 32.6K Oct. 2016 / Rev. 2.0 DS-QTD20.241-EN All parameters are specified at 24V, 20A, 600Vdc input, 25°C ambient and after a 5 minutes run-in time unless otherwise noted. www.pulspower.com Phone +49 89 9278 0 Germany 26/27

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 DC/DC converter. 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).
