The buffer unit is a supplementary device for regulated
DC24V power supplies. It buffers load currents during
typical mains faults and load peaks.
Working principle
In times when the power
supply provides sufficient
voltages, the buffer unit
stores energy in integrated electrolytic capacitors. In case of
mains voltage fault, this energy is released again in a
regulated process.
Bridges mains faults
without interruption
Statistic show that 80% of
all mains fault lasts less
than 0.2s. These mains
faults are completely bridged by the buffer unit. This
increases the reliability of the system as a whole.
Extended hold-up time
Once mains power fails or
is switched off, the buffer
unit will continue to
provide the load current
for a defined period of time. Process data can be saved and
processes can be terminated before the DC power switches
off. Controlled restarts are subsequently possible.
Easy to handle, expandable and maintenance-free
The buffer unit does not require
any control wiring. It can be
added parallel to the load circuit
at any given point. Buffer units
can be switched in parallel to
increase the output ampacity or the hold-up time.
