Electronic circuit protector ESX10-Sxxx-DC24V-1A-10A
Description
The model ESX10-Sxxx extends our product group of electronic
overcurrent protection devices for DC 24 V applications.
At a width of only 12.5mm it provides selective protection for all DC
24 V load circuits. This is achieved by a combination of active elec-
tronic current limitation in the event of a short circuit and overload
disconnection typically from 1.2 times rated current. The ESX10-S is
a plug-in type and thus allows quick and easy installation for groups
of devices with several circuits on the power distribution systems
Module 17plus and SVSxx.
DC 24 V switch-mode power supplies are widely used in automation
today. In the event of an overload, however, they turn down the output
voltage which is intended to power all connected loads. So if there is
a failure in a single load of the system, the supply voltage will break
down also in all other load circuits. Not only does this frequently cause
undefined fault conditions, but it can even lead to machine stoppages
or system downtimes.

This is exactly where the ESX10-S comes in by responding to the
overload conditions faster than the switch-mode power supply. The
max. possible overcurrent is limited to typically 1.4 times rated current
(see table 1). This allows switching on capacitive loads of up to 20,000
µF, but a disconnection will only be effected in the event of an over-
load or short circuit. For adjustment to the load conditions the current
rating can be selected by means of a rotary switch from 1A to 10A.
Status and failure indication is by means of a multi-coloured LED, an
integral short circuit proof status output (single or group alarms) or via
a potential-free relay contact (change-over contact). Remote actua-
tion is possible via a remote reset signal. The manual ON/OFF switch
on the device itself allows start-up of certain individual load circuits.
As soon as the ESX10-S detects overload or short circuit in its load
circuit, it blocks the load output transistor and disconnects the current
flow in the faulty circuit. After remedy of the failure, the load output of
the ESX10-S is re-activated by an electronic reset signal or manually
by actuating the ON/OFF switch on the device.
