Possible applications

The devices of the Power and Energy Solutions series can be used in a wide range of applications. Examples of the most common applications are described in this chapter.

Typical applications include hoists or storage/retrieval systems. In these applications, high power peaks occur with lifting movements and a high degree of recuperation energy occurs with lowering movements. Power peaks can be significantly reduced and the recuperation energy can be stored temporarily by using an MDP92A power supply module in conjunction with an energy storage unit. Previously used braking resistors can therefore be dimensioned smaller or can be omitted.

The MDE90A DC/DC converter module can be used universally. Various DC sources and DC storage units can be coupled to the DC link with this module to reduce the peak load and bridge power failures.

The module can also be used for mobile applications to enable operation without power grid. It is also suitable for coupling the application to an external DC supply system.

The components of the Power and Energy Solutions series are particularly suited for applications with high peak loads but comparatively low energy consumption. In these cases, the required storage unit can be designed significantly smaller and more cost-effective. It is recommended to use the MDC90A capacitor module in conjunction with an MDP92A power supply module. If necessary, several capacitor modules can be used in conjunction with only one power supply module. As a result, existing power loads can be reduced to a great extent and the required connection cross sections can be designed significantly smaller.

The dual-powered 24 V switched-mode power supply module MDS90A supplements the device series. In conjunction with internal or external energy storage units, it keeps the 24 V voltage supply stable in the event of power failures. Production cycles, for example, can be terminated or the system can be moved to a safe and defined position in this way.
