Input Transient Voltage Protection
A suppressor diode on the input together with the input filter
provides an effective protection against input transients.
To achieve IEC 801-5, level 2 compliance for 40 IMX 7
types or to withstand the 150 V transient according to
19 Pfl 1 an additional inductor and capacitor should be pro-
vided externally, as shown below. (Not applicable for
20 IMX 7 types, not necessary for 70 IMX 7 types.)
Reverse Polarity Protection at Input
The suppressor diode on the input also provides for reverse
polarity protection by conducting current in the reverse di-
rection, thus protecting the unit. An external fuse is required
to limit this current:
– For 20 IMX 7 a fast 2 A (F2A) fuse is recommended.
– For 40 IMX 7 a fast 1 A (F1A) fuse is recommended.
– For 70 IMX 7 a fast 0.63 A (F.63A) fuse is recommended.
Inrush Current
The inrush current has been kept as low as possible by
choosing a very small input capacitance. A series resistor
may be inserted in the input line to limit this current further.
Output Overvoltage Protection
The outputs of the units (single and double) are protected
against overvoltages by a zener diode across one of the
outputs. The main purpose of this feature is to protect
against possible overvoltages which could occur due to a
failure in the feedback control circuit. Under worst case
conditions the suppressor diode will short circuit. The sup-
pressor diode is not designed to withstand externally ap-
plied overvoltages. In the case of the double outputs since
both outputs track each other a suppressor diode is only
provided on one of the outputs.
