AC Power Supply with Integrated Energy Storage

October 26, 2016 by Jeff Shepard

The new Phoenix Contact uninterruptible power supplies (USP) from the TRIO product range for the DIN rail reliably supply ac loads with up to 750VA / 600W. The power supply is for 230Vac and 120Vac applications. Due to the integrated USB interface, high-level devices can be connected to it. In this way, any industrial PCs connected to the power supply can be shut down in a controlled way.

The pure sine curve at the output enables a seamless transition, as the sine generated in battery operation runs in sync with the mains previously used for the supply. Since a UPS module and energy storage are combined in one housing, the power supply is particularly space-saving. The integrated VRLA energy storage ensures long buffer times and can be extended with a further energy storage unit.

Supplying loads from the energy storage is possible, even without mains input. The device also has LED status indicators for signaling and function monitoring, as well as active 24Vdc switch outputs for forwarding to a higher-level control system.
