It is specially designed for ABB DCS distributed control systems, industrial automation control cabinets and industrial drive systems, serving as a core power supply component for industrial automatic control systems.
This module accurately converts alternating current mains power into regulated direct current, and supplies stable and clean 24 VDC operating power to industrial control equipment including controllers, I/O cards, sensors and actuators.
Adopting a standardized modular DIN rail mounting structure, it is embedded with multi-protection functions such as overvoltage, overcurrent and overtemperature protection. Featuring strong anti-interference capability, steady output and high long-term operational reliability, it is applicable to non-stop continuous production on factory sites, and widely deployed in various industrial automation fields including process industry, equipment manufacturing and electric power automatic control.
2.1 High Output Accuracy and Excellent Power Supply Stability
Adopting high-frequency switching voltage regulation technology, the module delivers low output voltage ripple and clean waveform. The output voltage accuracy error is no more than ±1% under full load conditions. It effectively prevents signal distortion and operational faults of precision industrial control cards and sensing devices caused by voltage fluctuation and clutter interference, and ensures high precision in sampling, calculation and control of the automation system.
2.2 Multi-layer Safety Protection and Strong Operational Reliability
A comprehensive fault protection mechanism is built in, covering overcurrent, overvoltage, short circuit, overtemperature and input undervoltage protection. In case of load short circuit, overload, abnormal grid voltage or module overheating, the module automatically cuts off power supply rapidly, locks the fault status and triggers an alarm via indicator lights. It protects the entire downstream industrial control equipment from cascading damage and adapts to complex load conditions in industrial scenarios.
2.3 Outstanding Anti-interference Performance for Harsh Working Conditions
Designed in compliance with industrial-grade EMC specifications, it boasts superior immunity to electromagnetic interference and radiated disturbance. It can effectively suppress electromagnetic noise generated by inverters, high-power motors and contactor switching on industrial sites.
With favorable vibration resistance and thermal cycling tolerance, it runs stably for long periods in high-temperature, humid and dusty industrial environments, supporting 24/7 non-stop operation.
2.4 High Integration for Easy Installation and Maintenance
The integrated compact modular design supports standard DIN rail mounting, which enables convenient disassembly and assembly while occupying minimal cabinet space without complicated external peripheral circuits.
Equipped with visual LED status indicators to display power operation, fault and overload status in real time, it allows maintenance staff to troubleshoot quickly and greatly reduce equipment inspection and maintenance costs.
2.5 Wide Grid Compatibility and Strong Fault Tolerance
It supports adaptive adjustment against industrial grid voltage fluctuations and tolerates ±10% deviation of input voltage. Suitable for factory sites with unstable and frequently fluctuating grid power, it avoids power interruption, voltage drop or abnormal output triggered by minor grid variations, with far superior power supply continuity and stability compared with ordinary civil power supplies.

SA161K03 (3BSE003387R1) operates on the principle of high-frequency switching regulated power supply, consisting of five core units: input filtering, rectification conversion, high-frequency inversion, voltage-stabilized output and protection control.
First, the 115 VAC industrial input passes through the input filter circuit to eliminate grid clutter and suppress electromagnetic interference, then the rectifier unit converts alternating current into basic direct current. Afterwards, the high-frequency inverter circuit transforms DC voltage into high-frequency AC signals, which undergo step-down conversion via a transformer.
The converted voltage is precisely calibrated by the voltage regulation circuit and output filter circuit to produce stable and clean 24 VDC for continuous power supply to downstream industrial control devices.
During operation, the built-in closed-loop sampling control system collects real-time data of output voltage, current and module temperature, dynamically adjusts the switching duty cycle and corrects voltage deviation to maintain constant output voltage under load changes and grid fluctuations.
Once abnormal signals such as short circuit, overload or overtemperature are detected, the protection control unit immediately cuts off output power and activates the fault indicator to realize equipment protection and guarantee the safe and stable operation of the whole automation control system.
