Solenoids, contactors and pneumatic modules often have a steady state coil and a pick-up coil. The inrush current 
demand of the pick-up coil is several times higher than the steady-state current and usually exceeds the nominal 
output current (including the PowerBoost) The same situation applies, when starting a capacitive load. 
Branch circuits are often protected with circuit breakers or fuses. In case of a short or an overload in the branch circuit, 
the fuse needs a certain amount of over-current to trip or to blow. The peak current capability ensures the safe 
operation of subsequent circuit breakers. 
Assuming the input voltage is turned on before such an event, the built-in large sized output capacitors inside the 
DC/DC converter can deliver extra current. Discharging this capacitor causes a voltage dip on the output. The following 
two examples show typical voltage dips:

current  for 50ms, typ.

current  for 5ms, typ.

Loads such as decelerating motors and inductors can feed voltage back to the DC/DC converter. This feature is also 
called return voltage immunity or resistance against Back- E.M.F. (Electro Magnetic Force). 
This DC/DC converter is resistant and does not show malfunctioning when a load feeds back voltage to the DC/DC 
converter. It does not matter, whether the DC/DC converter is on or off. 
The maximum allowed feed-back-voltage is 30Vdc. The absorbing energy can be calculated according to the built-in 
large sized output capacitance which is specified in chapter 5.
