Datasheet

The C600 series of DC/DC and AC/DC converter modules has been introduced by Schaefer. The highly-reliable, compact and ultra-rugged 3U design uses industrial-grade components and provides a high-density, space saving solutions for wayside signal and communication installations globally. These units are ideal for redundant systems with two units per 19” sub-rack.

The highly efficient C600 series delivers up to 500W of power and offers DC input voltage range of 10-380VDC with seven input range choices. AC input options are single-phase 115 or 230VAC (with or without PFC) or three-phase inputs of 3x200VAC. These modules are single output and are available in 12 standard ranges of 5-400VDC. All outputs are adjustable and tightly regulated to 0.2% (load) and 0.1% (line). Featuring natural convection cooling and a standard operating temperature range of -20 to +75°C (derate 2.5%/°C from +55°C), with an option for -40 to +75°C.

Modules are housed in an industry-standard 3U form factor for insertion into 19” sub-racks or optional wall, chassis and DIN-Rail mounting are available.

Schaefer can also provide 19” sub-racks wired to customer requirements to complete the installation.

All models have comprehensive protection circuitry including over-voltage protection, current limit protection on the output, and thermal shutdown with auto restart. Options include parallel/redundant operation, inhibit, Power-OK/DC-OK alarms, system reset signaling, active current sharing and programming/monitoring functions, etc. Battery charger modules are available (B600 models). Mechanical and electrical modifications to standard modules are available upon request.
