Allen-Bradley 1606-XLE960DX-3N Power Supply

Allen-Bradley 1606-XLE960DX-3N Power Supply

Product Introduction

The 1606-XLE960DX-3N belongs to the Allen-Bradley Bulletin 1606-XL Essential family. This semi-regulated switched-mode power supply converts 480 V-class three-phase AC input into a 24 V DC output. Specifically, it delivers 960 W of continuous power at a 40 A maximum output current. Engineers select this unit for panel builders who need solid performance at an economical price point.

Technical Specifications

The input voltage range covers 408…552 V AC for three-phase nominal operation. Meanwhile, the output remains adjustable from 24…28 V DC to match load requirements. The unit reaches 95.5% typical efficiency, which keeps heat generation low inside enclosures. Additionally, ripple and noise stay within 1500 mV maximum, suitable for most industrial control loads.

As a semi-regulated design, the 1606-XLE960DX-3N balances cost against regulation tightness. This characteristic suits relays, contactors, and general control circuits. However, precision analog instrumentation may require a fully regulated supply instead. Therefore, review load sensitivity before specifying this model.

The DC OK relay contact gives a basic status signal to controllers. Besides that contact, no communication ports or fieldbus protocols exist on this unit. Protection features include short-circuit proofing and overload limiting.

Mechanical and Environmental Parameters

The housing measures 124 mm in height, 96 mm in width, and 159 mm in depth. Furthermore, the unit weighs approximately 1.40 kg. The IP20 protection rating guards against finger contact and solid objects. Operating temperature ranges from -25 °C to +70 °C with appropriate derating. Relative humidity tolerance spans 5 to 95 percent.

Installation Guide

First, confirm the supply matches the 408…552 V AC three-phase rating before wiring. Next, mount the unit on a DIN rail or directly to a wall with the supplied hardware. Use screw terminals for all input and output connections. Additionally, install proper branch-circuit protection on the input side. Keep ventilation clearance around the housing for adequate cooling. Finally, set the output potentiometer between 24 V and 28 V DC before energizing sensitive loads.
