Tripp Lite PR Series, TL Series owner manual Current Ratings

CURRENT RATINGS

I

I

Tripp Lite PR and TL series' power supply current ratings are based on the industry- standard ICS (Intermittent Communications Service), limited by heat buildup. This

,,, translates to a 50% duty cycle of 5 minutes ON, 5 minutes OFF. Equivalent heat loading 'would result from 7 minutes ON at 25% load, followed by 3 minutes ON at 100% load.

This cyclical-typeof loading is similar to the operation of a transceiver.

I

Make sure the equipment you are using is properly sized to the capacity of thepower supply. The maximum current draw of the equipmentshould not exceed the contihuous- duty output of the power supply. If unsure about your particular application or current output capacities, call Tripp Lite Customer Service at (773) 869-1234.

The PR and TLseries featureselectronicfoldback current limiting,which protects &ahst
short circuits on the DC output. The foldback circuitry reduces the output current!to less
thanpne amp when shorted. When the overload is removed, normal current and doltage
outputs are automatically restored.		I
The PR 7 through PR 60 and the TL models feature time-controlled current limiting that
delays onset of foldback current limiting for about one second. This allows a brief
delivery of higher-than-rated current during this time period, allowing operation of
incandescent lamp loads up to approximately 65%of the PR and TL's current rating. The
power supply will also supply repetitive peak currents of up to 160%of the current rating
for operation of high-power "Class B"	audio amplifiers.	I
CAUTION!
This time-controlled current limiting will NOT overcome severeor sustained,
overloads. Some loads may demand peak current more than twice as high
as their average current demand. This fact should be kept in mind when1

using the PR and TL series power supplies. I

TROUBLESHOOTING

I

If the power supply stops working, check the DC output connectionsand tighten ifloose. check the extemal fuse. 1f blown~replacewith the same amperage size only. Units with an internal fuse should be checked by a qualified technician.
