EURO OPTION SPECIFICA TIONS

OPTIONS

INPUT

Option “i” (inrush current limiting): A thermistor is connected in series with the

input lines which changes its resistance from high to low when it gets hot. It does

not reduce the current surge if the input power is interrupted for a short period of

time not allowing the thermistor to cool down. Thermistors are fitted as standard

to all mains input models except for 1-phase input of models > 2.5kW.

Thermistors are available up to 45A. For higher input current an electronic inrush

current limitation can be offered.

Option “ie” electronic inrush current limiting An electronic circuit limits the inrush

current.

Option “sd” (series diode): A series diode protects the module against input

voltage of wrong polarity (additional power losses).

Option “ad” (anti-parallel diode): To avoid the power losses of a series diode a diode is

provided with opposite polarity in parallel to the input blowing an internal or external

fuse if the module is connected to a supply with wrong polarity.

Option “au” (auto-ranging) For standard dual AC input models the range of

115/230Vac is to be selected by connecting the input line to different pins on the

connector. With auto-ranging the unit senses the input voltage and provides

automatically the correct connection.

Option “p” (power fail): A signal (logic or relay) is given if the input voltage (AC or

DC) drops below the specified limit. In AC input units we sense the rectified input

voltage so that a power fail alarm will not be triggered if at light loads mains

power returns before the input capacitors are substantially discharged.

Option “r” (relay): A relay instead of a logic signal is provided for failure indication.

OUTPUT

Option “dd” (decoupling diode): For redundant operation the outputs of two or

more units are paralleled behind de-coupling diodes so that an internal fault of

one module does not affect the operation of the others. These diodes cause power

losses.

Option “cs” (active current sharing): An additional control circuit provides active

current sharing via an interconnecting wire between converters that operate in

parallel. Active current sharing should be used for multi-output units operating in

parallel.

Option “csi” (current sharing interrupt): Option “csi” will effect the removal of the

“cs” signal. Should there be an instance where a unit is not supplying the load,

then the effect of its “cs” signal is removed, and the load voltage is unaffected by

this condition.

Option “h1” (inhibit): A terminal connected to the negative input line also shuts off the

converter. This can also be used in conjunction with a thermal trip which shuts the unit

down.

Option “h2” (inhibit): Operation of the unit is inhibited if a voltage signal

(5V/10mA) is applied in reference to the negative line of the (main) output.

Option “rco” (reducing current limiting at over temperature) A circuit reduces the

current limiting level at higher temperature (to be specified).

Option “d” (DC-ok, one output): A logic signal is given if the output voltage (main

output in multi-output systems) is below the specified limit.

Option “m” (DC-ok, all outputs): In multi-output systems a logic signal is provided

if the voltage of any output is below the specified limit.

Option “ac” (AC ok) A logic signal connected to relay contacts is given if the

output voltage of an inverter is below the specified limit.
