Weidmuller PRO MAX 960W 24V 40A Power Supply

Weidmuller PRO MAX 960W 24V 40A power supply, order no. 1478150000

Order number PRO MAX 960W 24V 40A is the Weidmuller PRO MAX 960W 24V 40A switch-mode power supply: the 960 W, 40 A top rating in the 24 V single-phase range. It delivers 960 W at 24 V DC (40 A nominal) on a metal, corrosion-resistant housing for TS 35 rail, with a floating status contact that your PLC can read. Seven Star LLC supplies 1478150000 in Oman and the GCC as an independent supplier in Muscat.

This is the largest single-phase 24 V unit in the PRO MAX family covered by this page group. At 40 A the output terminals accept up to 16 mm², so cable sizing and voltage drop to the distribution blocks deserve attention before ordering.

How the type code PRO MAX 960W 24V 40A is built

Weidmuller names these units by series and rating rather than by a coded suffix, so the type code itself is the decoder. The order number 1478150000 identifies exactly this combination.

Technical specifications for 1478150000

Operating behaviour and heat management of the PRO MAX 960W 24V 40A

The output is regulated to 24 V DC ± 1 % with a residual ripple below the level stated in the datasheet. The supply limits current above 120 percent of nominal, so a short overload on motor starting or valve inrush is tolerated without collapsing the rail, and the output is protected against short circuit and reverse voltage from the load.

Heat is the main sizing constraint. At full load the PRO MAX 960W 24V 40A dissipates 72.3 W, and at idle 5W; the datasheet states a nominal-load efficiency of 93%. Above 60 °C ambient the available power falls, reaching 75 percent at 70 °C, so a cabinet that runs hot in a Gulf summer needs either a larger unit or better ventilation. Mounting is horizontal on the rail with 50 mm of free space above and below, and units can be placed side by side without gaps.

Input side and protection for 1478150000

The input accepts 85–277 V AC (nominal 100–240 V AC) at 45–65 Hz, and also a DC feed of 80–370 V DC, which allows the supply to be used on DC distribution. The internal input fuse is included and the datasheet recommends 20 A, char. B circuit breaker, 16 A, char. C, circuit breaker as external back-up. Inrush current is limited to max. 15 A, so upstream breakers are not nuisance-tripped when several units are energised together. The nominal power consumption is 1032 VA.

Where 1478150000 fits and related PRO MAX parts

This unit is part of the PRO MAX family. Single-phase 24 V siblings include 1478100000 (72 W, 3 A), 1478110000 (120 W, 5 A), 1478130000 (240 W, 10 A), 1478140000 (480 W, 20 A) and 1478150000 (960 W, 40 A). A 12 V version is 1478220000, 48 V versions are 1478240000, 1478250000 and 1478270000, and three-phase 24 V versions are 1478190000 and the PRO MAX3 range. Choose the next size up when your continuous load exceeds about 80 percent of nominal at the real cabinet temperature.

Selection checklist for PRO MAX 960W 24V 40A

• Add up the continuous 24 V load and the peak start-up load, then confirm the 40 A nominal and the current limit cover both.
• Check the supply voltage at site: 85–277 V AC.
• Decide whether redundancy is needed; the datasheet allows up to 3 units in parallel.
• Verify cabinet width (140 mm) and depth (150 mm) against the rail space.
• Confirm the maximum cabinet air temperature and apply the derating above 60 °C.
• Plan how the floating contact will be wired into the PLC for supply-fail alarms.

Installation, commissioning and maintenance of 1478150000

Snap the unit onto the TS 35 rail, leave the clearance stated above, and connect L, N and PE (or L1, L2, L3 and PE) on the input terminals. Input terminals accept rigid conductors up to 6 mm² with a tightening torque of 0.6 Nm; output terminals accept 16 mm² rigid and 16 mm² flexible. Use ferrules on flexible conductors. Set the output voltage with the front potentiometer under load, check the LED state and the relay behaviour, and record the readings at commissioning.

For maintenance, keep the ventilation slots clear, retighten terminals at the first shutdown after commissioning, and log the output voltage during planned outages. A supply that has run constantly at the top of its temperature range will age faster, so budget a spare unit for critical panels.

Typical applications in Oman and the GCC

It fits central 24 V distribution for large control rooms, compressor train panels and process skids in petrochemical sites. Since it is 140 mm wide and just under 4 kg, plan the rail mounting and cabinet depth accordingly.
