1606-XLS240E 240W DIN Rail Power Supply Allen-Bradley
The Allen-Bradley 1606-XLS240E is a 240W single-phase power supply delivering 24V DC at 10A. It offers BonusPower reserve, spring clamp terminals, and a DC OK relay contact.
The 1606-XLS480E-3 belongs to the Allen-Bradley Bulletin 1606-XL Performance series. This switched-mode power supply delivers 24V DC output with 480W rated power. System integrators choose it for large panels, marine systems, and heavy machine builds. The unit accepts three-phase AC input from 380 to 480V AC nominal. Furthermore, its output stays adjustable from 24 to 28V DC to match field device needs. A DC OK relay contact provides a simple status signal for monitoring. Therefore, maintenance teams can detect supply faults without extra hardware. Spring clamp terminals speed up wiring and reduce installation time. Besides, the BonusPower reserve feature supplies up to 30A at 24V DC for roughly 4 seconds. This burst handles motor startup and capacitor charging with ease. The unit also holds marine ABS, GL, and RINA approvals. In short, the 1606-XLS480E-3 combines high power, three-phase efficiency, and marine-grade reliability.
First, the input stage accepts 380 to 480V AC three-phase nominal at 47 to 63 Hz. It also tolerates operational DC input from 450 to 780V. Next, the output provides 24 to 28V DC nominal and stays fully adjustable. Output current reaches 20A at 24V DC, which yields 480W rated power. Moreover, typical efficiency reaches 95.0%, and power losses sit near 25.3W typical. The power factor measures 0.94 typical. Hold-up time reaches 19ms typical, and ripple and noise stay at 100mV maximum. Additionally, BonusPower delivers 30A at 24V DC typical for about 4 seconds. Protection covers overload and short-circuit conditions per series design. Finally, the unit carries UL 60950-1, cUL, and CE marks plus marine ABS, GL, and RINA approvals.
The 1606-XLS480E-3 has no built-in communication ports or protocols. Instead, a DC OK relay contact delivers a dry status signal. This contact suits PLC digital inputs, alarm lamps, or panel indicators. For instance, wire the relay to a controller input to flag supply faults. Consequently, commissioning stays simple and costs remain low. If you need fieldbus diagnostics, add an external monitoring module. Otherwise, the relay contact covers most basic status needs.
The housing measures 124 × 65 × 127 mm and weighs 0.87 kg. It carries an IP20 protection rating, so it suits protected cabinet interiors. Operating temperature spans -25 to +70°C with derating above +60°C. Storage temperature ranges from -40 to +85°C when non-operating. Humidity tolerance reaches 5 to 95% for indoor environments. The 65mm width supports higher heat dissipation for the 480W output. Besides, wall mounting holes offer layout flexibility when DIN rail space runs short.
Begin by snapping the unit onto a 35mm DIN rail or fastening it to a wall. Next, strip the three-phase input wires and insert them into the spring clamp terminals. Then, set the output voltage between 24 and 28V DC to match your load. After that, wire the DC OK relay contact to your monitoring circuit. Ensure adequate ventilation around the housing during operation. Finally, verify the output with a meter before energizing downstream equipment. The 1606-XLS480E-3 ships as an active product with full Rockwell support.
