Lovato PSL1M06024 Power Supply 24 V DC 2.5 A 60 W

Lovato PSL1M06024 DIN rail power supply, 24 V DC 2.5 A 60 W

The Lovato PSL1M06024 is a single-phase switching power supply for DIN rail mounting that converts a 100 to 240 V AC mains into a 24 V DC output at 2.5 A, equal to 60 W. The output is trimmable from 24 to 28 V DC, the unit works down to -40 °C, and it occupies four DIN modules. Seven Star LLC supplies the PSL1M06024 in Oman and the GCC as an independent supplier in Muscat.

Read the code as PSL1M (family of modular supplies), 060 (60 W) and 24 (24 V output). The larger sibling PSL1M10024 delivers 4.2 A and 100 W, so the code number tells you the power rating directly.

PSL1M06024 technical specifications

Why the derating curve matters for the PSL1M06024

The unit is specified to +71 °C but it can deliver full power only up to 56 °C; above that the available output falls by 2.5 percent per degree. At 71 °C the supply can therefore deliver only about 62 percent of its rated power, or roughly 37 W. In an unventilated panel in the Gulf, where interior temperatures of 55 to 65 °C occur in summer, that derating is often the real limit, not the nameplate figure.

The efficiency of 86 percent means around 10 W is lost as heat at full load, and the supply sits in a closed cabinet with other equipment. Leave free space above and below the housing, as in the installation instructions, and mount it vertically on the DIN rail.

Features and protections of the PSL1M06024

A fold-forward short-circuit protection means the supply keeps working with a reduced output rather than latching off; overload is limited between 110 and 150 percent of rated current. The output trim lets you compensate for voltage drop in long 24 V cable runs by raising the output towards 28 V. Two LEDs show that the output is present and when it falls too low. Parallel connection is not permitted, so redundancy needs separate supplies with decoupling diodes in a redundancy module, not direct paralleling.

Where the PSL1M06024 fits

Typical loads are PLC logic, small relays, sensors and indicator lamps: the Lovato micro PLCs LRD12RD024 and LRK12RD024 draw only a few hundred milliamperes at 24 V DC, so one 60 W unit can feed a small control panel with margin. For larger loads, the PSL1M10024 offers 100 W in five modules and further PSL ranges extend upward.

PSL1M06024 selection and ordering checklist

• Total 24 V DC load current, plus 20 to 30 percent margin
• Highest panel temperature, then apply derating above 56 °C
• Input voltage range at site, including the DC input option 120 to 375 V
• Need for redundancy; parallel connection is not available
• Voltage drop in the 24 V wiring and the need for trimming
• Four DIN modules of space and a vertical mounting position

Installation and maintenance of the PSL1M06024

Connect the mains through a 2 A class protective device or breaker upstream, and take the 24 V output to a distribution terminal. Set the trimmer with a multimeter at the load, not at the supply, to include cable drop. In maintenance, check the hot spots with a thermal camera, since heat is what ends the life of switch-mode supplies, and replace units that run hot in panels with filtered ventilation.

Typical PSL1M06024 applications in Oman and the GCC

The supply feeds control cabinets for pumping stations, water treatment skids, HVAC controls, small packaged plants and telemetry. Where the mains supply is unstable, a brief dip will not be covered by the PSL1M06024 because there is no holdup guarantee quoted in the sheet, so critical loads should be buffered with a UPS or battery module.

Sizing the 24 V load for the PSL1M06024

A worked example shows how quickly 60 W is used. A small PLC with expansion may draw 6 W, ten 24 V proximity sensors 3 W, a dozen interposing relay coils 12 W and a few indicator lamps 2 W, giving about 23 W. That leaves a comfortable margin, and even a hot panel at 65 °C, where about 45 W is available after derating, remains safe. The same panel with a 24 V solenoid valve manifold would exceed the limit, which is the point to move up to the 100 W model or add a second supply for the field devices.

Keep 24 V wiring short and sized for the current. At 2.5 A, a long run of 0.75 mm² cable can lose more than a volt, which is where the output trimmer is useful.
