Connection of Direct Current Power Supply Modules to a Floating Direct Current Network
Original instructions
Introduction
For a floating (non-grounded) assembly used in specific applications, marine applications in particular, an insulated power supply module must be chosen among the following references:
A device can permanently measure the degree of 24 Vdc, 48 Vdc, or 125 Vdc insulation in relation to the ground and give an alert if the degree of insulation is abnormally low. All input/output modules in the Modicon X80 range are insulated.
Line Protection
The power supply module is intended for use in low-voltage installations, in which the main power branch is protected on both wires by devices as fuses or breakers that limit the current to 15 A for North America and 16 A for the rest of the world. For details, refer to the description of standards and certifications.
NOTE: The direct current power supply modules are already equipped with a protective fuse. This fuse, connected at input voltage, is inside the module and is not accessible.
