Allen-Bradley 1606-XLS480G Power Supply 480W

Allen-Bradley 1606-XLS480G Performance Power Supply

The 1606-XLS480G belongs to the Allen-Bradley Bulletin 1606-XLS performance series. This unit delivers 36 V DC power for industrial control cabinets and machine loads. Its 50% power reserve supports heavy startup currents without shutdown. Engineers often specify this model for motion systems, valve banks, and DC motor applications that need higher voltage. The 1606-XLS480G combines high efficiency with a compact DIN rail footprint. Moreover, spring terminals speed up wiring and reduce installation time. The model remains active on official Rockwell product pages, which supports long-term availability.

Technical Specifications

The electrical performance of the 1606-XLS480G meets demanding industrial requirements. Input voltage ranges from AC 100 to 240 V nominal, single-phase. Additionally, a DC input range of 110 to 150 V is available. Output voltage is DC 36 V nominal, adjustable from 36 to 42 V. Output current reaches 13.3 A nominal with a rated power of 480 W. The unit provides a 50% power reserve for short-term overload conditions. Efficiency reaches 94.0% typical, which keeps heat generation low inside the enclosure. Ripple and noise stay at 100 mV maximum, supporting stable downstream electronics. A DC OK relay contact provides status signaling to control systems. Furthermore, no communication interface exists on this model, which simplifies wiring. Approvals include UL 60950-1, cUL, and CE marking per the Bulletin 1606 standard.

Mechanical and Environmental Parameters

The unit uses DIN rail mounting with spring terminals for fast, secure connections. Dimensions measure 124 × 82 × 127 mm in H×W×D format. Weight is approximately 1200 g. Operating temperature ranges from -25 to +70 °C, which suits demanding plant environments. Storage temperature spans -40 to +85 °C for non-operating conditions. Relative humidity tolerates 5 to 95% non-condensing. The protection rating is IP20, reflecting its DIN-rail enclosure construction. The 82 mm width balances power density with panel space. Meanwhile, the adjustable output supports voltage drop compensation on long cable runs.

Installation Guide

First, mount the 1606-XLS480G on a standard 35 mm DIN rail. Next, connect the AC input wiring to the spring terminals. Ensure the input voltage stays within the 100–240 V AC range. Then, wire the 36 V DC output to the load circuit. For DC input applications, verify the source stays within the 110–150 V DC range. Additionally, set the output voltage as needed using the adjustment dial. Connect the DC OK relay to a monitoring input if required. Finally, check all connections before applying power. The IP20 rating requires installation inside a protective enclosure. Proper airflow around the unit supports reliable cooling during continuous operation.
