Designed for Rail Applications, Vehicle and Wayside

The PU30 is a plug-in power supply unit for 19" systems (e.g., CompactPCI). It is especially designed for computer systems in public transport vehicles and for harsh environments, like railway applications, making it suitable for both rolling-stock and wayside use.

Wide-Range Input

The PU30 has a nominal input power range of 24 V DC to 110 V DC with a max. input voltage range of 14.4 V DC to 154 V DC (according to EN 50155 and S-9401). The undervoltage threshold is configurable via rotary switch for the nominal voltages of 24, 36, 48, 72, 96, 110 V DC and 74 V DC.

Advanced Power Supply Functionality

The standard output voltage is 12.6 V DC with a dynamic load sharing between 12.6 V DC and 5 V DC with 120 W. The output power at 3.3 V DC is 30 W, which is shared with the 5 V DC load. Switch-on behavior is independent of the load.

The PU30 also has a standby voltage of 5 V DC with 5 W to supply the independent shelf controller, and to support wake-on-LAN functionality. The standby voltage is always on. The PSU provides an inhibit port for switching the output voltages. It also indicates the event of an input power failure, output voltage failure or an overtemperature.

Rugged Design

The PSU is coated conformally, and all components are secured against vibration. When more power supplies run in parallel, there is a load sharing. The double voltage monitoring ensures that the output voltage is within the valid range. In case of an error, the voltage is powered down. The thermal stress is extremely low due to integrated heat sinks and diversion of dissipated heat over the mounting surface.

The PU30 is compliant with EN 50155, operating in the temperature range from -40 °C to +70 °C (10 min @ +85 °C).
