Schneider Electric ABL8RPM24200 Phaseo 24 V 20 A Power Supply

ABL8RPM24200: Phaseo regulated switch mode supply, 24 V DC 20 A

The ABL8RPM24200 is a 480 W Phaseo supply that is aimed at larger panels, accepting either 100–120 V single phase or 200–240 V phase to phase. It is a regulated switch mode power supply in Schneider Electric’s Modicon Power Supply (Phaseo) offer, giving 24 V DC at 20 A, equal to 480 W. At 20 A it can feed a full PLC rack plus field devices from a single module, which cuts the number of supplies to inspect during maintenance. Seven Star LLC supplies the ABL8RPM24200 in Oman and the GCC as an independent supplier based in Muscat.

Reading the reference: ABL8 is the Phaseo prefix, the letters RPM identify the model line, 24 the output voltage, and the final digits (200) correspond to the rated output current in tenths of an amp (here 20 A). This is our reading of the pattern and the datasheet remains the reference for ordering.

Where the ABL8RPM24200 fits in Oman and the GCC

This unit is suited to PLC cabinets, large instrument racks and process skids where one 20 A rail replaces several small supplies. The wide input window of Phaseo supplies is practical in the region because industrial plants mix 230 V, 400 V and sometimes 415 V sources, and imported machines arrive with their own voltage assumptions. High ambient temperatures are the main design consideration: the unit is rated for 50 °C without derating, so cabinets in direct sun, desalination plant rooms or switch rooms without air conditioning should be checked against that value, with ventilation or sunshields where needed.

Supplying the ABL8RPM24200: input bands, inrush and filtering

The datasheet lists the nominal input as 100–120 V AC single phase, terminal(s): N-L1; 200–240 V AC phase to phase, terminal(s): L1-L2, with accepted limits of 85–132 V AC and 170–264 V AC. Choose between the single-phase 100–120 V connection (N and L1) and the phase-to-phase 200–240 V connection (L1 and L2) when you wire the unit. The inrush current is 30 A and efficiency is 88 %, which leaves 57.6 W of heat inside the housing at full load.

A power factor correction filter conforming to IEC 61000-3-2 is listed as provided equipment, together with an anti-harmonic filter for low-frequency harmonic currents; the quoted power factor is 0.68 at 240 V AC and 0.69 at 120 V AC. Terminals are screw type: 3 × 0.5–3 × 4 mm² (22–12 AWG) for the input, and 4 × 0.5–4 × 4 mm² (22–12 AWG) for the output.

ABL8RPM24200 technical data

Mounting and cooling the ABL8RPM24200

The unit measures 146 × 125 × 145 mm and weighs 1.6 kg. It clips onto a 35 × 7.5 mm or 35 × 15 mm DIN rail and must be mounted vertically. The nominal ambient temperature for the universal Phaseo supplies is 50 °C, with derating up to a maximum of 60 °C; the datasheet text for this reference reads 50–60 °C with derating factor mounting position A < 2000 m and −25–50 °C without derating mounting position A < 2000 m. Protection is IP20, so the unit belongs inside an enclosure, and the altitude limit is 2000 m.

Two LEDs report status: one (green and red) for output voltage and one (green, red and orange) for output current. A removable screw terminal block, 2 x 2.5 mm², is provided for the diagnostic relay, so the supply can report a fault to a PLC input. Dielectric strength is 2500 V between input and ground, 3000 V between input and output, 500 V between output and ground.

Phaseo universal range around the ABL8RPM24200

Within this set the references step up in power: ABL8RPS24030 (72 W), ABL8RPS24050 (120 W), ABL8RPM24200 (480 W) and the three-phase ABL8WPS24400 (960 W). The datasheet allows series or parallel connection of at most two units, only recommended for identical references; for better availability supplies can instead be paralleled through the ABL8RED24400 redundancy module.

Output, boost and protection of the ABL8RPM24200

The output is 24 V DC and can be trimmed over 24–28.8 V, which helps compensate cable drop on long runs. For short overloads the unit supplies a temporary boost of 1.5 times the nominal current for 4 seconds, useful for inrush of solenoid valves and contactors. At the nominal figure the ABL8RPM24200 supplies 20 A; a planning load of 80 % is about 16.0 A.

Protections listed are overload and short-circuit with manual or automatic reset, overvoltage at 30–32 V with manual reset, undervoltage tripping when the output falls below 21.6 V, and thermal protection with automatic reset. The datasheet notes that derating should be considered in extreme conditions: intensive operation near nominal current at high temperature, an output set above 24 V, or parallel connection to increase total power.

Selection checklist for the ABL8RPM24200

• Sum the 24 V load below 20 A and decide how much margin the hottest cabinet needs.
• Match the mains: 100–120 V AC single phase / 200–240 V AC phase to phase; limits 85–132 V AC and 170–264 V AC.
• Check the footprint of 146 × 125 × 145 mm and the vertical mounting rule.
• Decide whether a diagnostic relay is needed and whether two units must run redundantly through a separate redundancy module.
• State the highest ambient temperature so derating can be assessed.
