Description
The ADEL System FLEX17048A is a compact 48V DIN rail power supply designed for industrial automation, machinery and control-panel applications. Manufactured in Italy, it delivers up to 3.8A and approximately 182W from a space-saving enclosure.
The FLEX17048A uses a manually selectable 115 or 230VAC single-phase input and provides a regulated 48VDC output adjustable from 41 to 55VDC. Its flexible-power design maintains reliable output across a wide industrial temperature range and provides additional short-term current for demanding start-up loads.
High efficiency, strong overload handling, three selectable protection modes and Easy Parallel operation make the FLEX17048A suitable for communications equipment, industrial computers, drives, actuators and other systems requiring a dependable 48VDC supply.
ADEL System FLEX17048A 48V 3.8A DIN Rail Power Supply
A compact industrial power supply with an adjustable 48V output, strong overload capability and selectable output-protection modes.
The FLEX17048A converts a single-phase AC input into a stable 48VDC supply for professional industrial equipment. Its compact dimensions, high power density and natural-convection cooling make it well suited to control cabinets where available DIN rail space is limited.
Typical Applications
This compact 48V DIN rail power supply is suitable for applications including:
- Industrial automation and machinery
- 48V communications and networking equipment
- Industrial computers and control systems
- Motors, drives, actuators and solenoids
- Packaging, robotics and material-handling systems
- Control panels requiring a compact 48VDC supply
Adjustable High-Voltage DC Output
The FLEX17048A provides a nominal 48VDC output at up to 3.8A. Its output can be adjusted from 41 to 55VDC, allowing the supply voltage to be matched to different loads, cable-voltage-drop requirements and system specifications.
Temporary Power Boost
A short-term power-boost capability helps the supply support equipment with elevated start-up currents or temporary load peaks. This is particularly useful with motors, capacitive electronic loads and other equipment that briefly requires more than its normal operating current.
Three Output-Protection Modes
The FLEX17048A provides three selectable responses to overload and short-circuit conditions: hiccup mode, continuous-output mode and manual reset. This allows the protection behaviour to be matched to the connected equipment.
High Capacitive-Load Capability
The power supply is designed to start demanding capacitive loads, helping it operate reliably with industrial electronic equipment and DC loads that contain substantial input capacitance.
Easy Parallel Operation
Compatible FLEX power supplies can be connected in parallel where additional output capacity or system redundancy is required.
Manufactured in Italy
The FLEX17048A is manufactured in Italy by ADEL System for professional industrial control, machinery and communications applications.
