## **6 High-voltage test (HIPOT)** 

This protection class I power supply is subject to the Low Voltage Directive and is factory tested. During the HIPOT test (high-voltage test), the insulation between the input circuit and output circuit is tested for the prescribed electric strength values, for example. The test voltage in the highvoltage range is applied at the input and output terminal blocks of the power supply. The operating voltage used in normal operation is a lot lower than the test voltage used. 

## **6.3 High-voltage dielectric test performed by the customer** 

Apart from routine and type tests to guarantee electrical safety, the end user does not have to perform another highvoltage test on the power supply as an individual component. According to EN 60204-1 (Safety of machinery - Electrical equipment of machines) the power supply can be disconnected during the high-voltage test and only installed once the high-voltage test has been completed. 

High-voltage tests up to 0.8 kV AC / 1.1 kV DC can be performed as described. 

For high-voltage tests > 0.8 kV AC / 1.1 kV DC, the gas-filled surge arrester must be disconnected. 

The test voltage should rise and fall in ramp form. The relevant rise and fall time of the ramp should be at least two seconds. 

## **6.1 High-voltage dielectric test (dielectric strength test)** 

In order to protect the user, power supplies (as electric components with a direct connection to potentially hazardous voltages) are subject to more stringent safety requirements. For this reason, permanent safe electrical isolation between the hazardous input voltage and the touch-proof output voltage as safety extra-low voltage (SELV) must always be ensured. 

In order to ensure permanent safe isolation of the AC input circuit and DC output circuit, high-voltage testing is performed as part of the safety approval process (type test) and manufacturing (routine test). 

## **6.2 High-voltage dielectric test during the manufacturing process** 

During the manufacturing process for the power supply, a high-voltage test is performed as part of the dielectric test in accordance with the specifications of IEC/UL/EN 61010-1. The high-voltage test is performed with a test voltage of at least 1.5 kV AC / 2.2 kV DC or higher. Routine manufacturing tests are inspected regularly by a certification authority.

**QUINT4-PS/3AC/48DC/20** 

## **6.3.1 Performing high-voltage testing** 

If high-voltage testing of the control cabinet or the power supply as a stand-alone component is planned during final inspection and testing, the following features must be observed. 

- The power supply wiring must be implemented as shown in the wiring diagram. 

- The maximum permissible test voltages must not be exceeded. 

Avoid unnecessary loading or damage to the power supply due to excessive test voltages. 

## **6.3.2 Disconnecting the gas discharge tube** 

The built-in gas discharge tube inside the device ensures that the power supply is effectively protected against asymmetrical disturbance variables (e.g., EN 61000-4-5). 

Each surge voltage test represents a very high load for the power supply. Therefore avoid unnecessary loading or damage to the power supply due to excessive test voltages. If necessary, the gas discharge tube inside the device can be disconnected in order to use higher test voltages. Following successful completion of testing, please reconnect the gas-discharge tube. 

Figure 2 Disconnect gas discharge tube 

- For the relevant applicable test voltages and insulation distances, refer to the corresponding table (see technical data: electric strength of the insulation section).

To disconnect the gas discharge tube, proceed as follows: 

1. Remove power from the unit. 

2. Unscrew the Phillips head screw completely and keep the gas discharge tube screw in a safe place. The gasdischarge tube is now disconnected and is no longer functional. 

3. Perform the surge voltage test on the power supply. 

4. Following successful high-voltage testing, screw the gas discharge tube screw fully back into the power supply. 

## **DANGER: Risk of electric shock or damage to the power supply due to using the wrong gas discharge tube screw** 

To connect the gas-filled surge arrester, only use the gas-filled surge arrester screw that was originally installed in the power supply.

- **NOTE:** Mechanical damage to the connection wiring caused by friction 

In extreme ambient conditions, e.g., strong vibrations, protect the connection wiring against mechanical damage using additional insulation material. The additional insulation material for protecting the connection wiring is limited to the area where the cable binders are attached. 

## **9 Device connection terminal blocks** 

The AC input and DC output terminal blocks on the front of the power supply feature screw connection technology. The signal level is wired without tools by means of Push-in connection technology. 

For the necessary connection parameters for the connection terminal blocks, refer to the technical data section. 

## **9.1 Input** 

The power supply is operated in a three-phase AC power grid (star network). The power supply is connected on the primary side via the INPUT L1/L2/L3/  connection terminal blocks. 

The power supply is approved for connection to TN, TT, and IT power grids (star networks) with a maximum phase-to-phase voltage of 500 V AC.

## **9.2 Protection of the primary side** 

Installation of the device must correspond to EN 61010 regulations. It must be possible to switch off the device using a suitable disconnecting device outside the power supply. The line protection on the primary side is suitable for this (see technical data section). 

## **DANGER: Hazardous voltage** 

An all-pos. fuse must be present for operation on three-phase and DC systems. 

## **9.3 Output** 

By default, the power supply is pre-set to a nominal output voltage of 48 V DC. 

The output voltage is adjusted via the two arrow keys  (-) and  (+) on the front of the power supply. 

When you press the arrow key once briefly, the output voltage is reduced  (-) or increased  (+) by 3 mV. When you press the arrow key for longer, the voltage is adjusted in 100 mV increments. 

## **9.4 Protection of the secondary side**

The power supply is electronically short-circuit-proof and no-load-proof. In the event of an error, the output voltage is limited 

If sufficiently long connecting cables are used, fuse protection does not have to be provided for each individual load. 

If each load is protected separately with its own protective device, the selective shutdown in the event of a fault enables the system to remain operational. 

## **Protection for DC supply** 

If the power supply is operated with a DC voltage, the star point of the DC supply system used for supply must be grounded.

## **10.1 U/I Advanced output characteristic curve** 

The preset U/I Advanced output characteristic curve is optimized for the following applications: 

- For selective tripping of standard circuit breakers (SFB technology). The power supply supplies up to 6 times the nominal current for 15 ms. Loads connected in parallel continue working. 

- When supplying loads with high switch-on currents, such as motors. The dynamic boost of the power supply supplies up to 200% of the nominal power for 5 s. This ensures that sufficient reserve energy is available; overdimensioning of the power supply is not necessary. 

- For system extension. With the static boost, up to 125% of the nominal output power is available for a sustained period (up to 40°C). 

- For fast energy storage charging (e.g., of batteries) to supply a wide range of loads. The power supply operates in the nominal operating range. Energy supply to the load is ensured. 

## **10.2 Smart HICCUP output characteristic curve** 

The SMART HICCUP output characteristic curve keeps the thermal load of the connecting cables at a low level in the event of a sustained overload. If loads are not protected or are protected in a way that is not permitted, the loads are supplied for 2 s. The DC output of the power supply is then switched off for 8 s. This procedure is repeated until the cause of the overload has been remedied. 

The Smart HICCUP output characteristic curve is optimized for the following applications: 

- If only a low short-circuit current is permitted. 

- If following an overload or short circuit the output voltage should be made available again automatically. 

- Figure 21 Smart HICCUP output characteristic curve

## **10.3 FUSE MODE output characteristic curve** 

In the event of an overload (e.g., short circuit), the power supply switches off the DC output permanently. The value of the switch-off threshold and the time period for which it may be exceeded can be freely selected. The power supply is restarted via the remote contact. As an option, the power supply can be switched on by switching the supply voltage on the primary side off and on. 

Selecting the FUSE MODE output characteristic curve sets the following default values. 

- tFuse = 100 ms 

- IFuse = IN

## **11 Configuring the power supply** 

With the fourth generation of the QUINT POWER power supply, it is now possible for the first time to adapt the behavior of the power supply. In addition to setting the output voltage and selecting the output characteristic curves, you can configure signal outputs Out 1, Out 2, and floating signal contact 13/14, for example. Configuration of the remote input for controlling the power supply or specification of signal options and signal thresholds also extend the range of possible applications. 

The power supply is configured via the device's internal NFC (near field communication) interface. This is located behind the QR code on the front. 

- The power supply behaves like a passive NFC tag. An auxiliary power source is required in order to supply the power supply with configuration data. 

## **11.1 Configuration with PC software** 

In order to configure the power supply via the NFC interface, the following hardware and software requirements must be met: 

- PC or notebook (as of Windows 7, Microsoft.Net Framework 4.5, USB 2.0 interface, 50 MB hard disk capacity, QUINT POWER software). 

- Programming adapter: TWN4 MIFARE NFC USB ADAPTER (Order No. 2909681) is plugged into the USB interface. 

- Programming software: the QUINT POWER software has been successfully installed. 

## **11.2 Configuring the power supply** 

To configure the power supply, proceed as follows: 

- Before you can configure the power supply, it should either be disconnected from the supply voltage or switched to SLEEP MODE. 

- To switch the power supply to SLEEP MODE, use one of the external circuits. The following connection versions are possible between the Rem (remote input) and SGnd (signal ground) connection terminal blocks.

## **12 Boost currents** 

## **11.3 Configuration with NFC-capable mobile terminal device** 

The QUINT POWER app enables you to conveniently configure the power supply using a mobile terminal device, such as a smartphone. 

In order to configure the power supply via the NFC interface, the following hardware and software requirements must be met: 

- NFC-capable mobile terminal device with Android operating system as of Version 4.1.x (Jelly Bean) 

- QUINT POWER app (Google Play Store) 

   - For information regarding the configuration of the power supply, such as selecting the characteristic curve and output parameters, please refer to the QUINT POWER app. 

## **11.4 Ordering a configured power supply** 

Customer-specified QUINT POWER power supplies are ordered as a KMAT item (configurable material) and are configured during the production process in the factory. The power supply is therefore supplied ready to connect for your specific application. 

- You can type in the the web code phoenixcontact.net/webcode/#0852 to configure and order your power supply. 

The power supply provides the static boost (IStat. Boost) for a sustained load supply or the time-limited dynamic boost (IDyn. Boost). 

## **12.1 Static Boost** 

For system expansion purposes, the sustained static boost (IStat. Boost) supports the load supply with up to 112% of the nominal current of the power supply. The static boost is available at an ambient temperature of up to 40°C.

## **12.2 Dynamic Boost** 

Dynamic boost (IDyn. Boost) delivers up to 150 % of the power supply nominal current to supply high loads. This temporary power supply to the load lasts a maximum of 5 s at an ambient temperature of up to 60 °C. The energy supplied adaptively for the load supply and the recovery time (tPause) are calculated based on the specific load situation using algorithms (see recovery time tables).

Use the following tables to determine the required recovery time (tPause) at the maximum dynamic boost current (IDyn. Boost[) based on the following values:] 

- IBase Load 

- Duration of the boost current (tDyn. Boost) 

- Ambient temperature (40 °C or 60 °C) 

## **12.2.3 Example: Determining the recovery time** 

## **(tPause)** 

At an output current (IBase Load) of 10 A, the dynamic output current (IDyn. Boost) of 30 A increases for 2 s (tDyn. Boost). After a recovery time (tPause) of 5.6 s, the dynamic boost is available once again. 

Figure 29 Example recovery time for ≤ 40°C 

- If a current that is lower than the maximum available dynamic boost current (IDyn. Boost) is required for the same period, the recovery time may (tPause) decrease.

## **13 SFB Technology** 

SFB Technology (selective fuse breaking) can be used to quickly and reliably trip miniature circuit breakers and fuses connected on the secondary side. In the event of a short circuit on the secondary side, the power supply supplies up to 6 times the nominal current for 15 ms. The faulty current path is switched off selectively. 

Loads that are connected in parallel are still supplied with energy. Operation of these system parts is ensured. In order to always enable the reliable tripping of circuit breakers and fuses, certain framework conditions must be observed (see SFB configuration section). 

The U/I Advanced output characteristic curve supports SFB Technology. 

## **13.3 SFB configuration** 

Observe the following framework conditions for determining the maximum distance between the power supply and load: 

- The performance class of the power supply 

- The cross section of the connecting cable 

- The tripping characteristic of the fuse component 

- Figure 31 Schematic diagram of the maximum cable length

## **13.1 Tripping circuit breakers** 

The circuit breaker is tripped by the high SFB current of the power supply, typically within 3 to 5 ms. As a result, voltage dips at loads that are connected in parallel are avoided.

## **13.2 Tripping a fuse** 

Fuses are tripped by melting the predetermined breaking point inside the fuse capsule. The tripping characteristic of the fuse is described by the melting integral (I²t). A high current is crucial in order to achieve a very short tripping time.

## **14 Signaling** 

A floating signal contact and two digital outputs are available for preventive function monitoring of the power supply. Depending on the configuration of the power supply, either the two digital outputs or one digital and one analog output can be selected. The signal outputs are electrically isolated from the input and output of the power supply. 

The current device status of the power supply is signaled using four LED status indicators. The function of each LED status indicator is assigned to a fixed event. 

In addition, the power supply can be switched off and on via an external circuit. 

The signal outputs are configured on the software side using the QUINT POWER software or the QUINT POWER app. Upon delivery, the power supply is pre-allocated a default configuration for the signal outputs.

## **14.1.1 Floating signal contact** 

In the default configuration, the floating switch contact opens to indicate that the set output voltage has been undershot by more than 10 % (UOut < 0.9 x UN). Signals and ohmic loads can be switched. For heavily inductive loads (e. g. a relay), a suitable protective circuit (e. g. a freewheeling diode) is necessary.

## Signal 

## **14.1.2 Active signal outputs, digital** 

Signals are forwarded to the higher-level controller via the "Out 1" and "Out 2" signal outputs. 

The 24 V DC signal is applied between the connection terminal blocks "Out 1" and "SGnd" or between "OUT 2" and "SGnd". It can carry a maximum of 20 mA. 

## **14.1.3 Active analog signal output** 

The signal output "Out 2" can be used as an analog signal output to continuously monitor the device workload. 

The 4 ... 20 mA signal is applied between the connection terminal blocks "Out 2" and "SGnd". It is proportional to the set signaling parameter. 

Figure 35 Signaling 

If you use the same reference potential for 24 V supply and signals, wire the reference potential SGnd to the reference potential of your application. 

The signal outputs of the power supply are electrically isolated from the input and output. 

By switching from "Active High" to "Active Low", the signal output "Out 1" indicates that the set output voltage has been undershot by more than 10 % (UOUT < 0.9 x UN). 

In the default configuration, the signal output "Out 2" indicates that the nominal power has been exceeded. The power supply then switches to boost mode. Thanks to this preventive function monitoring, critical operating states can be recognized at an early stage, prior to a voltage dip occurring.

## **14.3 Description of signaling** 

## **14.3.1 Output voltage** 

Signals whether the output voltage is in the preset range. If the output voltage of the power supply falls below the set threshold value, the signal state changes. 

## **Example of use** 

Indicates whether the connected load is being supplied. Used to quickly detect a load circuit that is not being supplied (e.g., in the event of mains failure or short circuit in the supply line). 

## **14.3.2 Output current** 

If the output current of the power supply exceeds the set threshold value, the signal state changes. 

## **Example of use** 

In the case of system extensions, loads are added. This increases the utilization of the power supply. Preventive function monitoring detects critical operating states in good time. Action can be taken before system downtime occurs. 

is true if a control cabinet fan or cooling system fails. In the event of any form of overtemperature, the power supply provides a warning by means of this signal, well before the supply of the loads is in any danger. 

Specifications regarding the available output power (see derating section). 

## **14.3.6 Voltage limitation active** 

If the circuit inside the device for protecting against surge voltages is activated at the output, the signal state changes. 

## **Example of use** 

Normative requirements stipulate that an upper voltage limit must be observed at the output in the event of an error. It must therefore be ensured, for example, that safety-related controllers are not supplied with an output voltage that exceeds 60 V DC, even in the event of an error. If foreign bodies (ferrules, screws, etc.) enter the power supply and generate an error, the signal state changes. 

## **14.3.7 Input voltage OK** 

The power supply signals a mains failure at least 10 ms before shutting off. 

## **14.3.3 Output power** 

If the output power of the power supply exceeds the set threshold value, the signal state changes. 

## **Example of use** 

In the case of system extensions, loads are added. This increases the utilization of the power supply. Preventive function monitoring detects critical operating states in good time. Action can be taken before system downtime occurs. 

## **14.3.4 Operating hours** 

If the preset operating time of the power supply is exceeded, the signal state changes. 

## **Example of use** 

For systems with a very long operating time, such as wind turbine generators or refineries, maintenance intervals are planned. You can even schedule the maintenance date during configuration based on the ambient temperature and utilization of the power supply. 

## **14.3.5 Early warning of high temperature** 

Before the power supply protects itself through power derating in the event of an overtemperature, the signal state changes. 

## **Example of use** 

Outdoor control cabinets can reach a high internal temperature depending on the position of the sun. The same 

## **Example of use** 

In the event of a mains failure, the power supply continues to supply the load with nominal power for at least 20 ms. Failure of the input voltage is signaled 10 ms before the output voltage falls, which means that this information is provided to the higher-level controller at an early stage. System states can therefore be stored promptly without any loss of data as a result of the unexpected failure of the supply voltage. 

## **14.3.8 Phase monitoring (3AC operation)** 

If one phase fails completely or the voltage difference between the outer conductors is > 10%, the signal state changes. 

## **Example of use** 

It is possible that the voltage of one phase may drop or fail completely due to an asymmetrical load on the 3-phase supply network or a fuse tripping. If one phase fails completely or the voltage difference between the outer conductors is > 10%, the power supply signals 2AC operation. Permanent supply of the load by the power supply is still ensured in 2AC operation. 

Specifications regarding the available output power (see derating section). 

## **14.4 Remote input** 

The power supply is switched on and off using the digital remote input of the power supply. When switched off, power

transmission is deactivated on the DC output side of the power supply. The load connected to the DC output terminal blocks is no longer supplied with energy. The operating mode where the DC output side is deactivated is called SLEEP MODE. 

When using a PLC output, select the following external circuit version to switch the power supply to SLEEP MODE. 

Figure 38 External wiring versions with PNP and NPN output 

To switch the power supply to SLEEP MODE, select one of the external circuit versions below. The external circuit is wired between signal terminal blocks Rem (remote input) and SGnd (signal ground). 

Figure 36 External wiring versions, enable SLEEP MODE 

## Signal 

## **14.5 LED status indicators** 

Four LED status indicators are integrated in the front of the power supply, which indicate the current device state. 

To switch the power supply back on, select one of the following external circuits between signal terminal blocks Rem and SGnd. Power transmission inside the device is activated again. As usual, the energy for supplying the loads is available at the DC output terminal blocks. 

Figure 37 External wiring versions, disable SLEEP MODE 

The green DC OK LED indicates the current status of the output voltage (UOut). The DC OK LED is permanently on as long as the value of the output voltage UOut is ≥ 0.9 x USet. If the value of the output voltage is < 0.9 x USet, the green DC OK LED flashes. 

Depending on the required output power of the connected load, the three POut LEDs, which indicate the current output power, light up. Assuming that the provided output power is > 50%  of the nominal output power, the > 50%  LED lights up green. If the demanded power continues to increase until it is above  75%, the > 75%  LED lights up green in addition to the > 50%  LED. If the required output power is then greater than the nominal device power, the power supply operates in boost mode. In boost mode, the > 100% LED additionally lights up yellow.

## **15 Operating modes** 

## **15.1 Series operation** 

To double the output voltage, connect two power supplies in series. Only use power supplies with the same performance class and configuration for series operation. If two 48 V DC power supplies are connected in series, an output voltage of 96 V DC is available to supply the loads.

## **15.2 Parallel operation** 

You can connect several power supplies in parallel in order to increase the power or to supply the loads redundantly.

Observe the following points when carrying out parallel connection: 

1. Use power supplies of the same type and performance class 

2. Setting the same output voltages 

3. Using the same cable cross sections for wiring 

4. Using the same cable lengths for the DC convergence point 

5. Operating power supplies in the same temperature environment 

6. When three or more power supplies are connected in parallel, each output must be protected (e.g., with circuit breakers, fuses or decoupling modules) 

   - We recommend the configuration "parallel operation" for a parallel connection. For more detailed information on the operating mode for parallel operation, refer to the user manual for the QUINT POWER software or the QUINT POWER app.

## **15.2.1 Redundancy operation** 

Redundant circuits are suitable for supplying systems and system parts which place particularly high demands on operational reliability. 

If energy is to be supplied to the load with 1+1 redundancy, two power supplies of the same type and performance class must be used. In the event of an error, it must be ensured that one of the power supplies is able to provide the total required power for the load. This means that in redundancy mode, two 20 A power supplies supply a load with a nominal current of 20 A, for example. During normal operation of the power supplies, each power supply therefore supplies 10 A. 

Always use cables with the same cross sections and lengths when wiring the power supplies on the DC output side. Redundancy modules can be used to fully decouple two power supplies from one another and to ensure the supply. Optimum decoupling can be achieved with the QUINT DIODE redundancy module.

## **15.2.2 Increased power** 

When n power supplies are connected in parallel, the output current is increased to n x IN. Parallel connection for increased power is used when extending existing systems. If the individual power supply does not cover the current consumption of the most powerful load, parallel connection of power supplies is recommended. 

When three or more power supplies are connected in parallel, each output must be protected separately, e.g., by a circuit breaker, fuse or decoupling module such as QUINT ORING, QUINT S-ORING or QUINT DIODE.

Certain specifications apply in redundancy operation with regard to the configuration of the keepout areas. In redundancy operation, the power supplies are operated with maximum half the nominal power. The keepout areas are therefore reduced. 

Using the signaling settings, you can monitor whether both power supplies are being operated with ≤ half the nominal load. In the case of system extension, an overload is prevented if one of the power supplies fails.

## **16 Derating** 

The QUINT POWER power supply runs in nominal operation without any limitations. For operation outside the nominal range, the following points should be observed depending on the type of use. 

## **16.1 Ambient temperature** 

When operating the power supply at an ambient temperature of > 60 °C, a power derating of 2.5 %/K should be observed. Up to an ambient temperature of 40 °C, the power supply can take power from the static boost for a sustained period. In the 40 °C to 60 °C temperature range, the power supply can output more than the nominal power for a sustained period.

## **16.3 Installation height** 

The power supply can be operated at an installation height of up to 2000 m without any limitations. Different data applies for installation locations above 2000 m due to the differing air pressure and the reduced convection cooling associated with this (see technical data section). The data provided is based on the results of pressure chamber testing performed by an accredited test laboratory.

## **16.2 Input voltage** 

The power supply is designed for operation in a three-phase network. If one phase fails or drops in the event of a fault (e.g., due to starting a load on the affected phase as in the case of a cooling unit), sustained operation on two phases is possible. This type of scenario is already covered for QUINT POWER by virtue of its approval.

## **16.4 Position-dependent derating** 

The fanless convection-cooled power supply can be snapped onto all DIN rails according to EN 60715. 

The power supply should be mounted horizontally for heat dissipation reasons (AC connection terminal blocks facing downward). Please observe the derating for any mounting other than the normal mounting position. Reduce the output power based on the prevailing ambient temperature. 

The recommended output power for different mounting positions and ambient temperatures can be found in the characteristic curves below. 

Exceeding these values will reduce the service life of the power supply.
