5. Features and functions
• TheSPS1525PFCandSPS1540PFCmainspowersupplyunitsuseswitchingnetworktechnologywiththe
advantagesofweightandsizereductions.Switched-modemainspowersupplyunitusechoppedmainsvoltages
and return a broad spectrum of harmonic waves to the mains line, which may cause interference in other devices.
Tosuppresstheseharmonicwaves,aPFC(PowerFactorCorrection)hasbeenintegratedintheproduct.
• The dc output is dc-isolated and features a fuse disconnector to the mains voltage.
• Theoutputvoltagecanbeadjustedbymeansoftheadjustmentcontrol(6)from3Vto15V/DCorfortheSPS1560
from1V–15Vm;currentlimitationisnotpossible.
• AspecialfeatureofthemodelsSPS1525PFCundSPS1540PFCisaxedvoltageswitchontheundersideof
thedevicetoxtheoutputvoltageto13.8V/DC.
• ThesecondaryDCconnectioniseffectedthroughtwocolouredconnectionjacks.
• Fortheswitched-modepowersupplySPS1560PFCupto5Acanbecollectedatthefrontsideandupto60Aat
the rear.
• The mains power supply is cooled via a temperature-controlled fan. For this reason, make sure there is an ad-
equate air circulation and lateral distance to obstacles.
• The mains power supply is equipped with an overload protection circuit. This circuit is activated when the maxi-
mum permissible current is exceeded due to an overload or short circuit. The red indicator is the overload indicator.
If it lights up, the consumer must be disconnected from the mains power supply to avoid damage to the switched-
mode mains power supply.
