Input Transient Voltage Protection
Reverse Polarity Protection at Input
A suppressor diode on the input together with the input filter
provides an effective protection against input transients.
The suppressor diode on the input also provides for reverse
polarity protection by conducting current in the reverse di-
rection, thus protecting the unit. An external fuse is required
to limit this current:
– For 20 IMX 7 a fast 2 A (F2A) fuse is recommended.
– For 40 IMX 7 a fast 1 A (F1A) fuse is recommended.
– For 70 IMX 7 a fast 0.63 A (F.63A) fuse is recommended.
To achieve IEC 801-5, level 2 compliance for 40 IMX 7
types or to withstand the 150 V transient according to
19 Pfl 1 an additional inductor and capacitor should be pro-
vided externally, as shown below. (Not applicable for
20 IMX 7 types, not necessary for 70 IMX 7 types.)
Inrush Current

The inrush current has been kept as low as possible by
choosing a very small input capacitance. A series resistor
may be inserted in the input line to limit this current further.

Output Overvoltage Protection
Vi–
The outputs of the units (single and double) are protected
against overvoltages by a zener diode across one of the
outputs. The main purpose of this feature is to protect
against possible overvoltages which could occur due to a
failure in the feedback control circuit. Under worst case
conditions the suppressor diode will short circuit. The sup-
pressor diode is not designed to withstand externally ap-
plied overvoltages. In the case of the double outputs since
both outputs track each other a suppressor diode is only
provided on one of the outputs.
