Omron Releases S8VS-Series Switching Power Supplies

Omron Electronics LLC introduced its S8VS-Series of switching power supplies with built-in diagnostic displays that are claimed to support preventive maintenance programs and shorten troubleshooting inside the control panel. Omron describes the series as a reliable power supply combined with a Smart Display that provides operators with at-a-glance status of output voltage, output current and peak hold current.

Depending on model, the display and alarm output indicate the power supply’s remaining service life signaling time for maintenance or replacement, or indicate total run-time of the connected load to alert operations management to schedule replacement of critical consumable parts such as motor brushes. The single-phase, single output ac-dc power supplies are available with display on models ranging from 60 to 480W. In addition, the S8VS features overload and overvoltage protection. For increased safety, the overload protection function allows the power supply to shutdown automatically if the outputs are shorted or if there is excessive current flow in the output.

The overvoltage protection feature protects the power supply if there is an increase in the output voltage. For safety purposes, the power supply will automatically shut off the output. They also meet SEMI F47 standards for uninterrupted operation with a 20- to 50% voltage sag over a short duration, 50 milliseconds to 1 second.

The S8VS meets international safety standards, including UL, cUL, UL508 Listed and CE. All models have a universal input 100 to 240 Vac (85 to 264Vac operating range). The S8VS line also includes models without displays supporting 15 to 480W.
