The buffered DC power supply of the GC-UC243 series has an ultracapacitor inside the housing as an energy store. This capacitor is charged by the system voltage (Ue) during normal operation. The connected DC consumers are also supplied by the system voltage. If the system voltage is interrupted, the energy of the ultracapacitors is released in a controlled manner. The load is supplied by the capacitor via a DC/DC converter until it is discharged.
The power supply is characterized by the following properties:
- Maintenance-free due to long-life ultracapacitors
- Microcontroller-supported charging and discharging of the ultracapacitors
- Operating and charging status monitoring via potential-free contacts and LEDs
- Capacity can be expanded using external capacitor modules
