Allen Bradley 1606-XL960E-3 Bulletin 1606 Switched Mode Power Supply

Product Overview

The Allen Bradley 1606-XL960E-3 serves as a high-capacity, three-phase switched mode power supply designed for large-scale industrial automation systems. This module converts 380-480V AC input into a stable, adjustable 24V DC output, delivering 960W of continuous power. We supply this unit as 100% Brand New and Original, providing a robust energy foundation for extensive PLC racks, motor control circuits, and heavy-duty field instrumentation.

Technical Specifications

The 1606-XL960E-3 delivers premium electrical performance across a broad industrial temperature range:

Engineering Advantages

• Superior Energy Efficiency: This power supply achieves up to 95.3% efficiency. This high conversion rate minimizes heat dissipation within the control cabinet, which significantly extends the lifespan of surrounding sensitive electronic components and reduces cooling costs.

• Massive Peak Power Reserve: The unit provides 1440W of short-term output power (up to 4 seconds). This 50% power boost handles the high inrush currents required to start large DC motors or engage multiple heavy-duty solenoids simultaneously without causing voltage drops.

• Stable Three-Phase Balancing: The 1606-XL960E-3 utilizes all three phases of the AC input. This balanced loading prevents neutral wire overloading and reduces the harmonic distortion typically found in high-wattage single-phase supplies.

• Wide Thermal Operating Range: The device maintains full performance down to -25 °C and operates up to +70 °C. Integrated derating logic (24W/°C above +60 °C) ensures hardware protection while maintaining system stability in extreme environmental conditions.

• Low Inrush Startup: An optimized startup circuit limits the AC inrush current to a mere 4.5A peak. This prevents nuisance tripping of input circuit breakers, even when multiple power supplies activate on the same branch circuit.

FAQs

• Can I adjust the output voltage if my application requires more than 24V?

  Yes. The front-mounted potentiometer allows you to adjust the output between 24V and 28V DC. This compensates for voltage drops across long field cable runs, ensuring the remote device receives exactly the required voltage.

• What type of circuit breaker should I use for the 3-phase input?

  We recommend using a 3-pole miniature circuit breaker with a "C" or "D" characteristic. Given the 1.65A nominal input current, a 6A or 10A breaker typically provides optimal protection while allowing for the unit's minor inrush.

• How does the 1606-XL960E-3 handle brief power interruptions?

  The module features a 25ms hold-up time. This internal energy buffer maintains a steady 24V DC output during minor "flickers" or grid switching events, preventing PLC resets or system crashes.

• Is this a factory-sealed unit?

  Absolutely. We guarantee this 1606-XL960E-3 is 100% Brand New original hardware. It arrives in the original Allen Bradley factory-sealed box with all technical documentation and UPC (662073044109) intact.
