Schneider ASP120000 Power Converter – AC to DC Supply

The Schneider ASP120000 converts alternating current into stable direct current voltage. This power converter accepts 115 or 230 VAC input for global compatibility. You can use it to supply 24 VDC to PLCs, sensors, and actuators. The unit delivers continuous power for small to medium automation panels.

Input and Output Specifications

The Schneider ASP120000 automatically senses input voltage without jumpers. This power converter delivers 5 amps of continuous DC output current. You can rely on its 88% efficiency for reduced heat generation. The output ripple stays below 80 mV for reliable digital logic operation.

Physical Dimensions and Weight

This power converter weighs 0.65 kg for secure DIN rail mounting. The unit measures 120 mm tall by 70 mm wide. Its depth reaches 95 mm including the terminal block. You can clip the Schneider ASP120000 onto any standard 35 mm DIN rail.

Interface and Connection Points

A 5-pin removable terminal block handles AC input and DC output. This terminal block accepts wire sizes from 0.5 to 2.5 mm². You will find separate terminals for line, neutral, ground, +24V, and 0V. Two green LED indicators show input power and output status. A potentiometer allows output voltage adjustment from 22 to 28 VDC.

Energy Storage and Hold-Up Time

The Schneider ASP120000 stores significant energy for short-term ride-through. Four electrolytic capacitors provide a total of 2,200 µF of bulk storage. This capacitance maintains output for 35 ms after input power drops. The converter does not contain any battery for extended backup. For longer protection, you can add an external DC buffer module.

Internal Components and Protection

A high-frequency MOSFET switching stage operates at 75 kHz. The primary side includes an inrush current limiter and EMI filter. You will find 42 resistors, 38 capacitors, and 12 diodes on the board. The Schneider ASP120000 includes an internal fuse rated at 6.3 A, 250 V. A temperature-controlled fan provides cooling above 50°C ambient.

Safety Features and Operational Use

This power converter offers overload protection at 110% of rated current. It also features short-circuit protection with automatic recovery. An overtemperature shutdown activates at 85°C internal temperature. The output includes overvoltage clamping at 30 VDC. Transitioning to this converter simplifies your 24 VDC distribution system. Use the Schneider ASP120000 for control cabinets, conveyor systems, or packaging machines. For best results, maintain adequate ventilation around all sides of the unit.
