ELECTRICAL SPECIFICATIONS
GT/HVI-Q6949
Input:
Input voltage:

56VDC with operating range 42VDC - 58VDC

Input Protection:

Reverse polarity protection by crossbar diode

Inrush current limiting
Thermal fuse

OUTPUT:
Output Voltage/Current:

Six 20VDC outputs @ 3A each

Output Isolation:

All outputs isolated from each other and from the grounded input for 19kVAC

Line Regulation:

1% over full line range for each of the 6 outputs

Load Regulation:

2% over 10% to 100% load range for each of the 6 outputs

P-P Ripple/Noise:

200mVpp max (20Hz to 50MHz bandwidth)

Temperature Drift:

0.03% per C over operating temperature range

Operating Temperature
Range:

0C to +60C at full load

Humidity:

20% to 95% non-condensing

Over current protection:

110% - 120% of full load current for each output.

Over-voltage Protection:

24V transorb (1.5KE24A) on all outputs which clamp the outputs in

the event of loss of output regulation, after which, if sustained, transorb shorts
the output.

Turn-on delay:

1 sec. max from application of DC line (when greater than or equal to 42VDC)
for all outputs

Hold-up time:

100ms from loss of DC input power to loss of

regulation on the 20V outputs, at full load. (72 milli farad hold-up capacitor)

EMI:

Meets requirements for EN 55022 Class A for conducted emissions

Efficiency:

Minimum 80% at full load

Input/Output Connection:

Phoenix plug-in terminal blocks

Input: 50-40-190; PCV 4/3-G-7.62
Output: 50-40-090; MSTBA 2.5/2G-5.08 Gold

Weight:

3.4kg (7.5lbs)

INSTALLATIONS AND ADJUSTMENTS

1.

Inspect unit for visible transit damage. Should there be any cause for concern, please contact
ABSOPULSE before returning unit.

2.

Check that the power supply input matches to the applicable input source.

3.

Connect input and output according to the markings on the unit.

4.

Verify that the proper wire gauge is used to minimize the line loss.(Guidelines for wire size
applications are included.)

5.

The output voltages and current limits are factory set according to the specifications. Should it
be necessary to re-adjust any of these parameters, please consult with ABSOPULSE Engineering

6.

Care must be taken to allow sufficient room around the unit to allow unimpeded air flow.

SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS

1.

The power supply circuitry has hazardous voltages when connected and should not be touched.
Wait a minimum of 30 seconds after removing the input power before doing any
operation on the power supply.

2.

Use the proper screw/lug sizes for mounting.

3.

Provide proper clearance above and below the unit to ensure unimpeded air flow.

4.

This power supply is electronically protected. If the fuse opens, the power
supply or its protective circuitry may have been damaged, we recommend that the operator not
replace the fuse. Return the power supply to Absopulse for servicing.

5.

Repairs should only be performed by qualified service personnel.

RECOMMENDED WIRE SIZES

The following values are to be used for guidelines only. The actual application must be
considered for selecting wire gauge, insulation, as well as EMI considerations for wire routing
and shielding where necessary. For longer wire lengths, larger gauge may be needed to
minimize line losses.

CURRENT (AMPS)

WIRE SIZE (AWG)

0 to 0.5 AMPS

22

0.5 to AMPS

20

2 to 3 AMPS

18

3 to 6 AMPS

16

6 to 12 AMPS

12

12 to 20 AMPS

10

20 to 30 AMPS

30 to 40 AMPS

MAINTENANCE

1.

Preventative maintenance required on this unit is minimal. Under normal circumstances, the
only maintenance required is a periodical visual inspection of the power supply to check for
any signs of dust, dirt, corrosion or other damage.

2.

Power supplies that are used in harsh environments should be inspected more frequently, as
well as cleaned if dusty or dirty. Accumulated dust may block airflow and impede cooling
which can cause overheating of the unit. These units should also be checked thoroughly for
any loose hardware or damaged wiring caused by excessive shock and vibration.

WARANTY AND SERVICE

1.

Twelve months subject to application within good engineering practice.

The maximum liability is the repair of the unit assuming it is within the
warranty period.

2.

Should servicing be required, please contact service manager for return authorization
at telephone: (613) 836-3511 or fax: (613) 836-7488. Please have model and serial
number available.
