High-Capacity Power Delivery
The Yokogawa PW401 delivers substantial current across three output rails, supporting complex systems with multiple cards. Its 20 A capacity at 5 V accommodates dense I/O configurations, while the 24 V and 48 V rails handle field devices. Furthermore, the 20 ms hold-up time ensures stable operation during brief supply interruptions.
Protection and Thermal Management
This module combines overvoltage, overcurrent, overtemperature, and short-circuit protection for comprehensive fault coverage. The PW401 automatically limits output or shuts down under fault conditions, preventing damage to connected equipment. Its fanless, convection-cooled design eliminates mechanical wear, extending the power supply’s service life in harsh conditions.
Integration and Reliability
The PW401 mounts directly into CENTUM VP and ProSafe-RS chassis, simplifying installation and system expansion. Its high efficiency reduces heat generation, lowering cabinet cooling requirements and operational costs. With its robust construction and wide temperature range, the PW401 ensures reliable performance in critical process industries.
