TSP–BFM24 Buffer Module
The TSP-BFM24 buffer module will hold the output voltage of a 24 VDC power supply
after brown outs or voltage dips of up to ten full 50 Hz cycles. During this buffer pe-
riod no deterioration of the 24 VDC output voltage will occur. For many applications
this buffer module is an ideal and cost effective alternative to a battery based backup
system. The buffer module consists of a large bank of capacitors. When the power
supply is switched on, the buffer capacitors will be charged. This will take approxima-
tely 30 second and an opto-coupler signal indicates the “READY“ condition. When
a power fail occurs, the capacitor bank is discharged, maintaining the output of the
buffer module at its nominal voltage. This condition is indicated by an “POWER FAIL“
signal. The hold up time is typically 200 ms at 25 A and 4 seconds typically at 1,2 A.
After 4 seconds the buffer device will switch off the output voltage. The operating
modes of the module are also indicated by a LED on the front panel also. The major
advantage of this buffer solution is, that it is fully maintenance free and its storage
capability does not deteriorate over the live time of the product.
