UPS uninterruptible AC/DC power supply
Third Quarter 2022
Other technologies
Traco Power has released the new TSPC-UPS Series 240 Watt Din-Rail UPS module, designed to keep power stable when power switches off. The TSPC-UPS Series is ideally suited for industrial applications including PLC power supply and any other industrial systems demanding a stable source of power when the power goes out.
This power supply provides an integrated professional battery management system to charge and monitor an external lead-acid battery. The result is a complete DCUPS system in a compact housing with no additional parts needed.
It is designed to supply the applied load continuously and without interruption, even when the mains power fails. In this case, the energy is supplied from an external 12 V battery to provide the required output voltage. The unit is designed to operate with lead-acid batteries. The external connected 12 V battery will be charged and held in charged mode by the power supply. In the event of a mains power failure, the battery will supply the output power until the battery is discharged. To avoid overcharging the battery, an external temperature sensor adjusts the battery voltage automatically to the required end of charge voltage. This can extend the battery life.
The battery is protected against deep discharge. Mains power and battery status are monitored regularly and failures are indicated by corresponding LEDs and alarm outputs. The module also provides an external On/Off input to switch off the battery.
