Use switching power supply with sag ride-through function to prepare for momentary stops

Multiple prevention measures required for failures due to momentary stops

While producing automobile parts outside Japan has become the mainstream, supply of power to run machines overseas is still unstable compared to Japan. Countermeasures such as uninterruptible power systems (UPS) have been in use to cope with the problem. Even so, if a machine such as a grinding machine stops suddenly, the rotational energy of the grindstone does remains due to the stone's weight. This could damage the motor or other mechanical parts. Because of these issues, manufacturers of machine tools, especially of grinding machines, have provided measures to cope with momentary stops to their machines, and the measures need to be effective.

A maximum of 1-sec sag-through to prepare for momentary stops

IDEC’s PS5R-V series switching power supply can be one of the measures against a sudden voltage drop or momentary stops that could cause machine failures. The major characteristic is 1-second maximum voltage sag-through capability, which allows for providing another prevention measure against momentary stops in addition to the external UPS. A machine tool maker who used the PS5R-V highly evaluated the product, satisfied with the increased sense of security. It can be used in a wide operating temperature range of -25 to +75°C, and the slim design makes it possible to make small and compact systems. PS5R-V is the best choice as a switching power supply for worldwide usage.
