Phoenix Contact QUINT POWER IV parameterisable power supply

Phoenix Contact has released the QUINT POWER IV parameterisable power supply, with features that allow users to tailor the product to suit their required output behaviour and preventive function monitoring.

The QUINT IV’s output characteristics, signalling and voltage can be adjusted to the user’s exact requirements. Components such as the output characteristic curve can be individually altered due to parameterisation via the integrated NFC interface using a smartphone or PC. Users can also tailor signalling thresholds to suit the requirements of applications to save time and minimise default errors. The current, voltage and power can be set differently depending on use and needs.

Integrated Selective Fuse Breaking (SFB) technology delivers six times the nominal current in up to 15 ms and thereby selectively trips standard circuit breakers safely and quickly, while loads in parallel are unaffected and continue working. The static boost feature also continuously provides up to 125% of the nominal current. To start heavy loads, the dynamic boost provides up to 200% of the nominal current for up to 5 s.

The product’s diagnostics constantly monitor system-specific, critical operating states and report errors before faults occur. In addition, integrated gas-filled surge arresters offer a high degree of immunity as well as a mains failure buffer time of more than 20 ms.

In addition to providing no-load losses, the device can be switched to an energy-saving sleep mode via the integrated remote input. It has an operating temperature range of -40 to +70°C.
