b)
Voltages with a potential above 60Vdc are not SELV any
more and can be dangerous. Such voltages must be installed
with a protection against touching.

EDUNDANCY
Power supplies can be paralleled for 1+1 redundancy to gain a higher system reliability. Redundant systems require a
certain amount of extra power to support the load in case one power supply unit fails. The simplest way is to put two
C-Series power supplies in parallel. In case one power supply unit fails, the other one is automatically able to support
the load current without any interruption. This simple way to build a redundant system has two major disadvantages:
-

The faulty power supply can not be recognized. The green LED will still be on since it is reverse-powered from
the other power supply.

It does not cover failures such as an internal short circuit in the secondary side of the power supply. In such a -
situation the defective unit becomes a load for the other power supplies and the output voltage can not be

This above conditions can be avoided by utilizing decoupling diodes which are included in the decoupling module
YR2.DIODE or redundancy module YRM2.DIODE.

Other recommendations for building redundant power systems:
a)
a)
Use separate input fuses for each power supply.
b)
Monitor the individual power supply units. A DC-ok lamp and a DC-ok contact is included in the redundancy
module YRM2.DIODE. This feature reports a faulty unit.

c)
When possible, connect each power supply to different phases or circuits.
