SFB technology - Power supply units for the highest system availability

Compact power supply units of the new QUINT POWER generation with SFB technology maximize the availability of your system.

Standard power circuit-breakers can be triggered reliably and quickly for the first time with the SFB technology (selective fusebreaking technology), 6 times the nominal current for 12 ms.

Defective current paths are switched off selectively, the defect is isolated and important system parts remain in operation.

Practical example: Short-circuit outside the control cabinet

The loads are supplied with 24 V DC by a switched-mode power supply unit in the system. The individual current paths are always backed up by a power circuit-breaker.

If there is a short-circuit on the infeed line, it is being displayed! Power circuit-breakers require a high short-circuit current to be safely triggered within a few milliseconds. Conventional switched-mode power supply units are often unable to do this.

QUINT POWER with SFB technology guarantees a fast and reliable triggering of standard power circuit-breakers. The defective current path is cut off; all other loads are continuously supplied with 24 V DC.
