Model Code and Configuration
Complete model / voltage code
DPU-3200-24PM; 24 denotes a nominal 24 V single output.
Series / nominal power class
DPU identifies the series; 3200 is the nominal power class. This model is rated at 3192 W, not an assumed 3200 W.
Communication configuration
PMBus communication option, identified by the PM suffix. The catalog lists this variant as by request; it does not include CANBus.
Optional coating
Conformal coating is optional; the listed SKU alone does not establish that coating is fitted.
This 1U enclosed AC/DC supply has active PFC, thermostatically controlled DC-fan cooling, remote sensing, voltage/current programming, remote ON/OFF, auxiliary outputs, alarms and active current sharing. The series advertises power density up to 37 W/in³.
Output and Input Ratings
DC output / rated power
24 V; 133 A rated; current range 0 to 133 A; 3192 W.
Local voltage adjustment
23.5 to 30 V via the built-in potentiometer.
Ripple/noise / regulation
Maximum 300 mVp-p; tolerance ±1.0%; line regulation ±0.5%; load regulation ±0.5%.
Efficiency, typical
93.5%, measured at 75% load.
Setup / rise / hold-up
1500 ms / 60 ms at 230 VAC, full load. Typical hold-up: 16 ms at 230 VAC, 75% load; 9 ms at 230 VAC, full load.
Input voltage / frequency
90 to 264 VAC or 127 to 370 VDC; 47 to 63 Hz for AC input. Apply low-input derating.
Power factor / AC current, typical
0.97 / 17 A at 230 VAC, full load.
Inrush / leakage
Typical cold-start inrush 55 A at 230 VAC; leakage <2 mA at 230 VAC.
Power-conversion blocks
Active inrush-current limiting, PFC 110 kHz, PWM 90 kHz and output ORING FET are shown.
Default test conditions are 230 VAC input, rated load and 25°C ambient unless stated otherwise. Efficiency is specifically measured at 75% load. Tolerance includes setup, line and load regulation.
Ripple/noise uses 20 MHz bandwidth and a 12-inch twisted pair terminated by parallel 0.1 uF and 47 uF capacitors. Under variable-load or parallel operation, light-load ripple may exceed the specification; the note states normal ripple returns above 5% output load. PV operation can slightly exceed the ripple rating under some conditions.
Protection and Operating Limits
Overload / short circuit
Short-circuit protection is listed. Overload is 105% to 115% of rated current: constant-current limiting, followed by output shutdown after 5 seconds. After output voltage falls, re-power to recover.
Over-voltage protection
31.5 to 37.5 V; shutdown, re-power to recover.
Over-temperature / low-output shutdown
Over-temperature shutdown recovers automatically after cooling. Output below 80% of Vset for 5 seconds causes shutdown; re-power to recover.
Temperature / cooling
-30°C to +70°C, with derating; forced air from the built-in thermostatically controlled DC fan.
Temperature curve, horizontal
100% load through 50°C, declining to 50% at 70°C. The -30°C to -25°C region is marked 230 VAC input only. Use the complete curve, not the temperature range as a full-load guarantee.
Input curve, 60 Hz
50% load at 90 VAC, rising to 100% at 180 VAC; 100% from 180 to 264 VAC. At 90 VAC this model is limited to 1596 W / 66.5 A.
Humidity / storage
Working: 20% to 90% RH non-condensing. Storage: -40°C to +85°C, 10% to 95% RH non-condensing.
Temperature coefficient / vibration
±0.03%/°C over 0°C to 50°C. Vibration: 10 to 500 Hz, 2 G, 10 minutes/cycle, 60 minutes each along X, Y and Z.
Altitude derating
Above 2000 m, reduce allowed ambient temperature by 5°C per 1000 m for this fan-cooled model.
Apply temperature, low-input, PV/current and parallel limits together. The 48 V efficiency-versus-load graph is measured at 230 VAC; it is a typical curve for that voltage model, not a guarantee for the 24 V model.
Sense and Analog Programming
Remote / local sense
Remote: CN1 pin 15 (+S) to load positive, pin 16 (-S) to load negative; twist the sense pair. Compensation is up to 0.5 V. Without remote sense, connect pin 15 to pin 13 (+V signal) and pin 16 to pin 14 (-V signal).
PV connection / range
Apply external DC voltage between CN1 pin 12 (PV) and pin 14 (-V signal); nominal-voltage programming range is 50% to 125%.
PV graph anchors
The graph shows 100% below the 0.4 V transition, 50% from 0.4 to 1 V, rising from 50% at 1 V to 125% at 4.7 V, then 125% to 5 V. Use the plotted relationship and transition, not one conversion across all regions.
PV current derating
At 50% to 90% output voltage, maximum output current is 80% of rated; it rises to 100% at 95%, stays 100% to 100%, then declines to 80% at 125% voltage.
PC connection / range
Apply external DC voltage between CN1 pin 11 (PC) and pin 14 (-V signal); specified current-level programming range is 20% to 100% of rated current.
PC graph / low-current boundary
The graph shows a 110% region below the 0.4 V transition, 20% from 0.4 to 1 V, then a non-linear relationship to 100% at 4.7 V, remaining 100% to 5 V. The 110% region is not an extension of the specified 20% to 100% programming range.
At a much lower programmed current, constant-current operation may produce higher current ripple. The below-80%-of-Vset shutdown after 5 seconds still applies. Follow the sense wiring for either local or remote operation. PV, PC and address signals are non-isolated and referenced to -V signal; auxiliary/control-alarm returns use GND-AUX where specified.
Remote Control, Auxiliary Power and Alarms
Remote ON/OFF
Short CN1 pin 4 (Remote ON/OFF) to pin 3 (+5V-AUX) for ON; open for OFF. The pin table specifies ON 4.5 to 5.5 V, OFF -0.5 to 0.5 V; maximum input 5.5 V, referenced to GND-AUX.
Auxiliary outputs
CN1 pin 1: +12V-AUX up to 0.8 A; pin 3: +5V-AUX up to 0.3 A; return pin 2 GND-AUX. Both have ORing diodes and remain available independently of remote ON/OFF.
Auxiliary limits as printed
The specification gives ±10% tolerance for both auxiliaries, with ripple 450 mVp-p for 12 V and 150 mVp-p for 5 V. The pin table separately lists 10.6 to 13.2 V and 4.5 to 5.5 V; confirm the 12 V lower-limit discrepancy for tolerance-sensitive loads.
DC-OK, active-low pin 5
High 3.5 to 5.5 V when Vout <=77% ±5%; low -0.5 to 0.5 V when Vout >=80% ±5%, as printed. Isolated TTL output referenced to GND-AUX.
T-ALARM, pin 6
High 3.5 to 5.5 V above the internal temperature-alarm limit or on fan failure; low -0.5 to 0.5 V when internal temperature and fan are normal. Isolated TTL, referenced to GND-AUX.
Alarm-current specification boundary
The function page states maximum sink current 10 mA, while the pin table states maximum sourcing current 10 mA, output only. Confirm interface loading before wiring; the two statements do not establish bidirectional 10 mA drive.
Status LED
Green: normal. Steady red: abnormal OTP, OLP or fan failure. Flashing red: internal temperature reaches 60°C, while operation continues without entering OTP.
The LED note states that the 60°C warning is also sent through the PMBus interface. That PMBus notification applies to the PM option; it does not establish PMBus on blank or CAN variants. The 60°C indication refers to internal temperature, not a new ambient operating limit.
CN1 and CN500 Pin Assignments
CN1 pins 1 to 6
1: +12V-AUX; 2: GND-AUX, isolated from main +V/-V; 3: +5V-AUX; 4: Remote ON/OFF; 5: active-low DC-OK; 6: T-ALARM.
CN1 pins 7 / 8 / 9
A0 / A1 / A2: PMBus interface address lines; non-isolated, referenced to -V signal.
CN1 pins 10 / 11 / 12
10: NC, reserved; 11: PC; 12: PV.
CN1 pins 13 / 14 / 15 / 16
13: +V signal; 14: -V signal; 15: +S; 16: -S. Pins 13/14 are sense/function signals and must not be connected directly as load power terminals.
CN500 pins 1 to 6
1/2: DA; 3/4: DB, differential digital parallel-control signals. 5/6: -V signal for local-sense/function reference, not direct load connection.
CN500 pins 7 / 8
7: SDA, serial data; 8: SCL, serial clock for PMBus. Isolated signals referenced to GND-AUX.
SW1 pins 1 / 2
Terminal-resistance selector for DA/DB parallel-control signals.
Use the connector orientation shown in the complete drawing: CN1 has odd pins 1 to 15 on one row and even pins 2 to 16 on the other; CN500 is shown with 8/2 and 7/1 at its row ends. Do not infer pin orientation from an unreferenced cable view.
Parallel Operation and Termination
Unit count / continuous-current limit
Up to five units. Maximum parallel output current = rated current per unit x number of units x 0.9. Use 133 A as this model's per-unit rating.
Voltage matching / load boundary
Match output voltages to <0.2 V difference. Below 5% of combined rated current, sharing may be unbalanced; light-load ripple may exceed the specification until output load exceeds 5%.
Power / signal connections
Use short, large-diameter power wiring to the common load. Connect DA, DB and -V signal among units through CN500 as illustrated; twist long signal lines in pairs.
CN500 / SW1 settings
One unit: CN500 unconnected, SW1 ON. Two units: both connected and ON. Three, four or five units: all CN500 connected; SW1 ON only on the first and last unit, OFF on intermediate units.
The series feature list states up to 16000 W (4+1). Usable continuous output must still satisfy the 0.9 current equation and all individual input, thermal and voltage-programming derating. This headline is not an unconditional 16000 W load rating.
Follow the complete parallel/sense diagram and the local/remote-sense instructions. Long parallel cables can add noise to communication; the manufacturer recommends appropriate filtering parts, but these pages give no specific filter part number.
