III. Functional Features
- Wide-Range Input and High-Efficiency Conversion: The wide AC 85-264V input range adapts to global power grids, and the 47-63Hz frequency compatibility handles power grid frequency fluctuations. Adopting high-frequency switching technology, it achieves a conversion efficiency of over 90%, significantly reducing energy consumption and heat generation, and is suitable for long-term continuous operation.
- Stable Output and Precise Regulation: The rated DC 5V/20A output can meet the power supply needs of multiple modules, and the ±0.5% voltage regulation ensures stable output when the load changes. A built-in precision feedback adjustment circuit real-time suppresses power grid fluctuations and load impacts, with an output ripple of ≤50mVpp to avoid interference with control signals.
- Multiple Protections and High Reliability: It integrates four protection mechanisms: overvoltage, overcurrent, short circuit, and overheating protection. It automatically limits current during overcurrent, quickly cuts off output during short circuit, and triggers temperature-controlled protection when overheated. The module adopts a shielded housing and isolation design, with electromagnetic compatibility complying with the IEC 61000-4 standard to resist interference in industrial sites.
- Easy Adaptation and Status Visualization: Specifically designed for the 90-30 series, it supports direct backplane mounting and plug-and-play functionality without additional wiring. The panel is equipped with a power indicator (PWR) and a fault indicator (FAULT) to real-time feedback operational status and provide intuitive alerts during faults, simplifying operation and maintenance troubleshooting.
IV. Working Principle
This module follows the core conversion logic of "AC rectification - filtering - inversion - voltage stabilization - DC output":First, the AC 85-264V input voltage is converted into pulsating DC by a rectifier bridge, and then large-capacity capacitors are used for filtering to eliminate ripples.Subsequently, high-frequency switching transistors invert the DC into high-frequency AC, which is stepped down by a high-frequency transformer and then rectified again into low-voltage DC.Finally, a feedback adjustment circuit real-time monitors the output voltage, compares it with a reference value, and adjusts the duty cycle of the switching transistors to ensure a stable DC 5V output.
At the same time, the protection circuit real-time monitors parameters such as output current and module temperature. When abnormalities occur, it immediately triggers the protection mechanism to cut off or limit the output, ensuring the safety of the module and the load.
V. Common Faults and Troubleshooting
| Fault Phenomenon | Possible Causes | Troubleshooting Steps |
|---|---|---|
| PWR light off, no output | Abnormal input power, module fault | 1. Use a multimeter to measure the voltage at the input terminals and confirm that AC 85-264V is normal; 2. Check the input fuse and replace it with a component of the same specification if it is blown; 3. Test with a spare module, and send the original module for repair if the fault is confirmed. |
| FAULT light on, output interrupted | Overload, short circuit, or overheating | 1. Disconnect the load, restart the module, and observe whether the FAULT light goes out; 2. If it goes out, connect the loads one by one to identify the short-circuited/overloaded module; 3. If it remains on, check whether the module's heat dissipation holes are blocked and whether the ambient temperature exceeds 60℃. |
| Large deviation in output voltage | Power grid fluctuations, feedback circuit fault | 1. Measure the input voltage to ensure it is within the AC 85-264V range; 2. Measure the output voltage under full load; if the deviation exceeds ±0.5%, check whether the load exceeds 20A; 3. Test with a spare module, and send for repair if the fault is confirmed. |
