oining the well established 78 series of switch mode power supplies from Finder, the 78.50 now features ‘foldback’ overload protection. This has been introduced to address market demands by extending application coverage to include lead acid battery charging – not compatible with the ‘hiccup’ mode of protection featured on the rest of the range. As with the rest of the range, it shares a plethora of design features to improve both reliability and efficiency, giving control system builders a stable and dependable low voltage DC supply, up to 91% efficient, and drawing only 0.4W in standby. This series of modular, rail mounted DC power supplies now comprises models covering outputs rated 24VDC/12W, 24VDC/36W, 24VDC/60W, 12VDC/12W and 12VDC/50W – all supporting a wide AC or DC supply range capability of respectively 100-265VAC and 140-370VDC. Integrating the latest protection technologies, the 78 Series includes: supply overvoltage (varistor) protection, thermal protection with fast output voltage shutdown; short circuit and overload protection with ‘hiccup’ (auto-recovery) protection – except the 78.50 with ‘foldback’ overload protection.
