Description
GE IC698PSA350 Product Introduction
Product Overview
The GE IC698PSA350 is a 350W high-capacity chassis power supply module designed for the GE PACSystems RX7i PLC control system. It installs in slot 0 of the RX7i backplane and serves as the core power source for the entire control rack.
This unit converts wide-range AC or DC input power into regulated, isolated DC outputs. It delivers clean, stable power for RX7i CPUs, I/O modules, communication cards and field interface devices. With industrial-grade circuitry and comprehensive fault protection, it ensures continuous and reliable operation of mission-critical automation systems. It is widely used for new system configuration, rack expansion and spare part replacement in industrial automation projects.
Core Product Features
- Universal wide input accepts 85–264 VAC and 100–150 VDC, adapting to unstable grid power and backup DC power systems.
- Three isolated DC outputs (+5 V, +12 V, -12 V) support logic circuits, relay drivers and analog signal modules across the backplane.
- 1500 VDC input-to-output isolation protects control circuits from field power surges and ground loop interference.
- Built-in multi-layer protection covers overvoltage, overcurrent and short-circuit conditions with automatic recovery after fault removal.
- Dedicated ACFAIL# signal sends early power-loss notification to the CPU for controlled, orderly system shutdown.
- 0.99 power factor and high conversion efficiency reduce heat generation and lower overall energy consumption.
- Replaceable input fuses on both line and neutral sides protect the module from severe input faults.
- Standard plug-in design enables fast installation and direct replacement without rewiring.
