*) Power Boost: This power/ current is continuously allowed up to an ambient temperature of 45°C.
Above 45°C, do not use this power/ current longer than a duty cycle of 10% and/ or not longer than 1 minute every 10 minutes.
**) HiccupPLUS Mode
At heavy overloads (when output voltage falls below 13V), the power supply delivers continuous output current for 2s. After this, the
output is switched off for approx. 18s before a new start attempt is automatically performed. This cycle is repeated as long as the
overload exists. If the overload has been cleared, the device will operate normally. See Fig. 6-3.
***) 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 (in “single use” mode).
Peak current capability (up to several milliseconds)
The power supply can deliver a peak current which is higher than the specified short term current. This helps to start
current demanding loads or to safely operate subsequent circuit breakers.
The extra current is supplied by the output capacitors inside the power supply. During this event, the capacitors will be
discharged and causes a voltage dip on the output. Detailed curves can be found in chapter 24.1.
