Phoenix Contact TRIO-PS-2G/1AC/12DC/5/C2LPS Power Supply 12 V

TRIO-PS-2G/1AC/12DC/5/C2LPS: single-phase 12 V DC 5 A supply, C2LPS version

The Phoenix Contact TRIO-PS-2G/1AC/12DC/5/C2LPS (order no. 2903157) differs from the 24 V models in the TRIO 2G range in its output: 12 V DC at 5 A, giving 60 W. It is 30 mm wide, 130 mm high and 115 mm deep, uses push-in terminals and carries the C2LPS suffix like the 3 A model 2903147.

Seven Star LLC supplies the TRIO-PS-2G/1AC/12DC/5/C2LPS as an independent supplier in Muscat for projects in Oman and the GCC, quoted against the exact part number shown here.

Technical specifications of the TRIO-PS-2G/1AC/12DC/5/C2LPS

How the TRIO-PS-2G/1AC/12DC/5/C2LPS works

The TRIO-PS-2G/1AC/12DC/5/C2LPS is a primary-switched supply from the TRIO POWER 2nd generation (the 2G in the type code). Mains input is converted to an isolated, regulated DC output through a high-frequency stage. The datasheet lists a dynamic boost, an output power figure that can be drawn for a few seconds above nominal, which helps with start-up peaks of motors, solenoids and capacitive loads. A DC OK signal on a changeover contact and an LED report the status of the output, so a controller can see when the supply is healthy.

The lower voltage means the efficiency is a little lower than the 24 V models: above 86 % at 230 V AC and nominal values. The unit is intended for loads built around 12 V DC.

Where the TRIO-PS-2G/1AC/12DC/5/C2LPS fits in a system

TRIO POWER sits between the compact STEP POWER range and the more advanced QUINT POWER range: it gives a robust metal-housing supply, wide temperature range down to -25 degrees C, and a status contact, without the NFC configuration and selective fuse breaking of QUINT4. It is a typical mid-range choice for machine builders and panel shops who want proven performance at moderate cost.

Use the TRIO-PS-2G/1AC/12DC/5/C2LPS for equipment powered at 12 V DC, such as certain communication modules, small displays, security equipment or some sensors. It is not a substitute for a 24 V unit, so do not select it for standard 24 V PLC panels.

Selection and ordering checklist

• Confirm the nominal output voltage and current of the TRIO-PS-2G/1AC/12DC/5/C2LPS against the load total, leaving a reserve.
• Check input voltage and number of phases against the site supply.
• Note the dynamic boost power if the loads have a start-up peak.
• Compare the housing width and depth with the available rail space and cabinet door clearance.
• Check that the ambient temperature does not exceed the derating limit of 60 degrees C for continuous full load.
• Decide whether the status contact will be wired to a controller.
• Confirm that your loads need 12 V DC and not 24 V DC.

Installation, commissioning and maintenance of the TRIO-PS-2G/1AC/12DC/5/C2LPS

Mount the TRIO-PS-2G/1AC/12DC/5/C2LPS on a 35 mm DIN rail with the clearances shown on the datasheet, connect the input and output to the labelled terminals and fit the status wiring if it is needed. Set the output voltage with the potentiometer, check the polarity at the loads and confirm that the DC OK LED lights before closing the cabinet.

Take the output current rating from the table and apply the derating shown for temperatures above 60 degrees C. After commissioning, retighten terminals once the unit has seen a thermal cycle and keep the vents clear of dust.

Typical applications in Oman and the GCC

In Oman and the GCC, control cabinets often run at high ambient temperatures, so the operating range and derating curve in the table are what decide whether a supply is suitable. These supplies are used in oil and gas skids, water treatment and desalination plants, power substations, petrochemical packages and building automation panels.

In the Gulf, 12 V DC supplies are applied in telecommunications cabinets, signalling and CCTV equipment on industrial sites and pipelines.
