Product Short Description

Product Brief Introduction

VE4050S2K1C1 is a high-capacity redundant regulated DC power supply module designed exclusively for Emerson DeltaV M-series I/O carrier racks. It converts industrial AC mains input to stabilized 12VDC internal bus power for all I/O communication cards and 24VDC field sensor loop power distribution to termination blocks. The K1C1 variant features dual redundant power input circuits, overvoltage, overcurrent and short-circuit protection, high efficiency switching power topology and hot-swap replacement capability to eliminate power supply single-point failure in critical process control racks.

Function Features

  1. Dual independent AC input channels for full power redundancy; automatic load sharing, instant failover within 5ms if one AC feed loses power without system downtime

  3. Multi-layer full protection architecture including overvoltage lockout, fold-back overcurrent limiting, auto-restart short-circuit protection and thermal power derating
  4. Hot-swap pluggable design; replacement can be executed while the entire DeltaV I/O rack remains powered and operational
  5. Front panel multi-indicator LED array showing AC feed A status, AC feed B status, 12VDC normal, 24VDC normal, overheat fault and overload alarm
  6. Built-in EMC EMI filtering circuit to suppress mains surge, harmonic distortion and industrial variable frequency drive noise entering the control system
  7. Non-volatile fault memory stores historical power failure, overload and overheat event logs accessible via DeltaV workstation diagnostic software
  8. Active power factor correction (PFC) circuit built-in, power factor above 0.95 to reduce plant mains power waste and harmonic pollution

Working Principle

Two separate AC mains input lines enter isolated EMI filter and PFC circuits inside the module. High-frequency active switching power converters transform universal wide-range AC input into two groups of isolated stable DC voltages: 12VDC for rack backplane communication I/O cards and 24VDC for field transmitters and discrete sensors. Internal digital monitoring microcontrollers continuously sample AC input voltage, DC output voltage, output current and internal component temperature. When one AC power input fails, internal solid-state switching circuits redistribute full load to the remaining active AC channel without voltage drop on DC output rails. If output current exceeds rated value or short-circuit occurs on field wiring, fold-back current limiting activates to clamp output power; if temperature rises above threshold, the unit gradually reduces output capacity to avoid permanent component burnout. All operating status data is transmitted to the DeltaV system controller via rack backplane bus for real-time supervision and fault logging.

Material Composition & Structural Characteristics

  • Outer Rack Frame: High-strength black coated cold-rolled steel with anti-vibration reinforcing ribs for rack insertion
  • Main Power PCB: Double-sided heavy copper FR4 high-temperature circuit board with conformal silicone coating against moisture and dust
  • Power Conversion Components: High-efficiency silicon carbide MOSFET switching tubes, industrial-grade high-temperature electrolytic capacitors, ferrite core isolation transformers
  • Filter Hardware: Multi-stage common-mode and differential-mode EMI choke coils, metal oxide varistor surge suppressors
  • Terminal Connectors: Screw-locked aviation AC input connectors with strain relief sleeves to resist vibration cable loosening
  • Cooling Structure: Passive convection vertical ventilation grilles on top and bottom of module housing; internal heat sink aluminum alloy blocks bonded to power semiconductors
  • Front Panel: Matte black anodized aluminum with laser-etched status labels and transparent polycarbonate LED protective window

Installation Requirements

  1. Insert the module into dedicated 3U power supply slot of standard DeltaV M-series I/O carrier rack, fully lock the side ejection lever to guarantee backplane contact integrity
  2. Connect two AC power inputs to two completely independent plant distribution circuits (separate circuit breakers) to realize true redundant power supply
  3. AC input wiring must use 1.5mm² minimum cross-section copper wire; torque connector screws to 1.2 N·m
  4. Maintain vertical clearance of minimum 25mm above and below the module ventilation grilles to ensure natural convection heat dissipation
  5. Ground the module chassis protective earth terminal to cabinet unified grounding busbar with 2.5mm² ground wire
  6. Do not install adjacent to high heat generating components such as large relay modules or rack-mounted servo power supplies

Application Scenarios

  • Petrochemical refining critical DCS control rack power backbone
  • Thermal power plant boiler and turbine safety I/O cabinet power supply
  • Natural gas transmission pipeline remote monitoring station redundant power system
  • Pharmaceutical sterile batch process control DeltaV rack power distribution
  • Nuclear auxiliary facility secondary process monitoring I/O power system

Operation & Maintenance Precautions

  1. Never operate the module with only one AC input connected for long-term continuous production; single-feed mode is only permitted for temporary maintenance
  2. If overload or overheat fault LED lights persist, immediately disconnect part of field 24VDC load to reduce total output current
  3. Clean ventilation grille dust accumulation every 6 months with dry compressed air to prevent heat buildup and power derating
  4. Cut off both AC power feeds completely before disassembling or replacing internal power components; internal circuits store residual high voltage after power-off
  5. Do not connect unfiltered AC power directly to module input in areas with frequent lightning strikes; install external surge protection devices upstream of power supply feeds
