The GE IC698PSA350 functions as a high-output power supply module for the PACSystems RX7i series. Unlike dedicated protection devices such as the RMS-TSG-TZ-C Static Trip Unit from Sie-mens, this unit focuses on delivering reliable primary power to the backplane. It provides the necessary energy to support multiple I/O modules and the central processor in a control rack. Engineers depend on this supply for consistent performance in demanding industrial automation environments. This module truly exemplifies GE’s commitment to robust and efficient power management solutions.

High Output Power for Demanding Systems
The primary strength of the IC698PSA350 lies in its substantial 350-watt power capacity. It delivers a steady 3.9 amps to the backplane, supporting even the most densely populated RX7i racks. Consequently, you can mix high-current analog modules, fast digital inputs, and communication processors without power budget concerns. This robust output ensures all connected modules operate reliably under full load conditions. The supply truly provides the foundation for a stable and scalable control system.
Universal Input for Global Applications
We designed the IC698PSA350 with a wide-range input stage for installation anywhere in the world. It automatically accepts any voltage from 85 to 264 VAC without jumpers or switches. Additionally, it handles both 47 Hz and 63 Hz frequencies seamlessly, covering global power standards. Therefore, you can use the same power supply module for facilities in North America, Europe, or Asia. This universality simplifies spare parts management for multinational companies and equipment manufacturers.
Reliable Operation with Protection Features
The IC698PSA350 incorporates multiple protection mechanisms to safeguard your system. It includes automatic current limiting to prevent damage during overload conditions. Furthermore, the module provides complete short-circuit protection on all output rails. The internal fan adjusts its speed based on internal temperature, reducing noise and extending bearing life. These features ensure the power supply continues delivering clean, stable power even under abnormal conditions.
Energy Storage and Ride-Through Capability
A critical feature of the IC698PSA350 is its 20 ms minimum hold-up time. Internal energy storage capacitors maintain output voltage during brief input power interruptions. Therefore, the control system continues operating seamlessly through momentary dips or line disturbances. This ride-through capability prevents nuisance shutdowns and protects critical processes. You can rely on this module to bridge short power gaps without requiring an external UPS for basic protection.
