Safety and reliability continue to gain increased importance in many industrial applications. The 1606-XL family of power supplies offers several solutions to increase the reliability and safety of the application. The N+1 redundancy modules provide a cost effective means for providing back-up power in the event the primary power supply fails. The "Buffer" module provides added reliability for conditions of "Brown-out" when input power is unreliable.

Maintenance-Free DC-UPS Alternative
The "Buffer" unit is a supplementary device, compatible with 5 to 40 A, single-phase and 3-phase supplies, that provides DC power back-up for all types of AC power faults. This unit is an excellent maintenance-free DC-UPS alternative over standard DC-UPS when the reliability of input power is marginal.

Applications are not interrupted due to voltage dips and drops up to 4s. The buffer unit provides remote monitoring capability that facilitates a controlled shutdown in the event of a complete power failure. It also provides additional power for short and heavy peak loads. Any number of units can be installed in parallel to increase power buffer or back-up time.
