Redundant power supply
Duplex DC power supply system


The PS 5090 series power supplies are modular DC power supplies for use in computer 
frame relay. Its modular architecture allows you to build a redundant power supply system, 
PS 5093, by duplex (parallel) operation of two PS5091 plug-in modules. The paralleled 
PS5091 modules automatically share the output current equally between them. 
Thus, undesired imbalance of the output currents is avoided. If either PS5091 module fails, 
the other module solely feeds a load current. The PS5093 is capable of outputting 
a maximum of 220 W compared to the rated output power of 110 W (because each 
PS5091 shares the rated output power with the other module). To ensure accurate output 
voltage, the DC outputs are compensated for the voltage drop across the output current 
summing diodes.

Each PS5091 module can be replaced with new one without shutting down the system. 
This "hot-swappable" module design facilitates ease of maintenance and reduces your 
total cost of ownership (TCO).
