Peak current capability (up to several milliseconds)
The power supply can deliver a peak current which is higher than the specied 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 section 22.1.
Peak current voltage dips typ. from 12V to 7V at 9A for 50ms, resistive load

*) The Lifetime expectancy shown in the table indicates the minimum operating hours (service life) and is determined by the lifetime
expectancy of the built-in electrolytic capacitors. Lifetime expectancy is specied in operational hours and is calculated according to the
capacitor’s manufacturer specication. 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 gure is a statistical representation of the likelihood of a device to fail. A MTBF gure of e.g. 1 000 000h means that
statistically one unit will fail every 100 hours if 10 000 units are installed in the eld. However, it can not be determined if the failed unit
has been running for 50 000h or only for 100h.

All parameters are specified at 12V, 4.5A, 230Vac, 25°C ambient and after a 5 minutes run-in time unless noted otherwise.

20. Application Notes
20.1. Peak Current Capability
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. The same situation applies when starting a motor or switching-on a capacitive load.
In many cases, the peak current capability also ensures a safe operation of subsequent circuit breakers. Branch circuits
are often protected with circuit breakers or fuses. In case of a short or an overload in a branch circuit, the fuse needs a
certain amount of over-current to trip or to blow.
Assuming the input voltage is turned on before such an event, the built-in large sized output capacitors inside the
power supply can deliver extra current. Discharging this capacitor causes a voltage dip on the output. The following
two examples show typical voltage dips:
Fig. 20-1 Peak loading with 2x the nominal
current for 50ms, typ.

current for 5ms, typ.

20.2. Back-feeding Loads
Loads such as decelerating motors and inductors can feed voltage back to the power supply. This feature is also called
return voltage immunity or resistance against Back- E.M.F. (Electro Magnetic Force).
This power supply is resistant and does not show malfunctioning when a load feeds back voltage to the power supply.
It does not matter whether the power supply is on or off.
The maximum allowed feed-back-voltage is 25Vdc. The absorbing energy can be calculated according to the built-in
large sized output capacitor which is specied in section 5.

All parameters are specified at 12V, 4.5A, 230Vac, 25°C ambient and after a 5 minutes run-in time unless noted otherwise.
18 Rockwell Automation Publication 1606-RM015A-EN-P — March 2014
Bulletin 1606 Switched Mode Power Supplies
20.3. Charging Batteries
The power supply can be used to charge 12V lead-acid or maintenance free batteries.
Instructions for charging batteries (oat charging):
a) Ensure that the ambient temperature of the power supply is below 45°C
b) 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 13.9V 13.75V 13.6V 13.4V
Battery temperature 10°C 20°C 30°C 40°C
c) Use a 6A circuit breaker (or blocking diode) between the power supply and the battery.
d) Ensure that the output current of the power supply is below the allowed charging current of the battery.
e) The return current to the power supply (battery discharge current) is typical 6mA when the power supply is
switched off (except if using a blocking diode).
20.4. External Input Protection
The unit is tested and approved for branch circuits up to 20A. 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 10A B- or 6A C-Characteristic breaker should be used.
20.5. Parallel Use to Increase Output Power
1606-XLP60BQ power supplies can be paralleled to increase the output power.
This power supply does not offer the capacity to balance the load current
between the power supplies. Usually the power supply with the higher
adjusted output voltage draws current until it goes into current limitation. This
causes no harm to this power supply as long as the ambient temperature stays
below 45°C. The 1606-XLP60BQ can also be paralleled with other XLP power
supplies with 12V output voltage. The output voltages of all power supplies must be
adjusted to the same value (±100mV).
A fuse or diode on the output of each unit is required only if more than three units are connected in parallel.
If using a fuse or circuit breaker, choose one with approximately 150% of the rated output current of one power supply.
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 parallel in mounting orientations other than the standard mounting
orientation (input terminals on the bottom and output terminals on top of the unit). Be aware that leakage current,
EMI, inrush current and harmonics will increase when using multiple power supplies in parallel.

20.6. Daisy Chaining of Outputs
Daisy chaining (jumping from one power supply output to the next) is allowed as long as the average output current
through one terminal pin does not exceed 25A. If the current is higher, use a separate distribution terminal block.

Bulletin 1606 Switched Mode Power Supplies
20.8. Series Operation
Power supplies of the exact 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 no longer SELV and can be dangerous.
Such voltages must be installed with a protection against touching. Grounding
the output is required when the sum of the output voltage is above 60Vdc.
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 and output terminals on
top of the unit). Remember that leakage current, EMI, inrush current and harmonics all increase when using multiple
power supplies.

The power supply can also be used on two phases of a three-phase-system.
A phase-to-phase connection is allowed as long as the supplying voltage is
below 240V+10%. Use a fuse or a circuit breaker to protect the N input. The
N input is not internally protected and is in this case connected to a hot
wire. Appropriate fuses or circuit breakers are specied in section 20.4,
“External Input Protection”.
20.10. Use Without PE on the Input
From a safety standpoint, the unit is internally designed according to the requirements for Protection Class 1 and 2.
Please contact RA if you do not use the PE terminal. A different marking of the front foil is then required.
Grounding of the input is benecial for a high EMI immunity: symmetrical spikes or fast transients on the input side
can be conducted directly to earth by the built-in lter capacitors. The magnitude of such spikes or fast transients on
the output side caused by the input is much smaller compared to not connecting this terminal to ground.
