Siemens 6ES74121XJ070AB0

Technical Parameters

Input Voltage Flexibility

Accepts 85–264 V AC (47–63 Hz) or 120–300 V DC, with automatic phase-loss tolerance for unbalanced three-phase AC systems.

Output Stability & Ripple

Delivers 24 V DC at 10 A (240 W max) with voltage deviation ≤±1% under full load and ripple noise <50 mV peak-to-peak.

Inrush Current Limiting

Limits inrush current to <18 A (at 230 V AC) using soft-start circuitry, reducing stress on upstream components.

Redundant Parallel Operation

Supports load-sharing with up to 3 additional PS 407 units via active current balancing, achieving N+1 redundancy with <5% load imbalance.

Galvanic Isolation

Provides 4 kV AC isolation between input/output and 1.5 kV AC between output and chassis, compliant with EN 61140.
