Selection Suggestions and Precautions
Selection Suggestions
- Match with Large-Scale System Needs: The GE IC698PSA350 is perfect for medium to large RX3i systems with total current demands between 20 – 35 A. Calculate the cumulative power consumption of your CPU, I/O, and peripheral modules to leverage its full high-current capacity.
- Prioritize Energy Efficiency Goals: Choose this module if your operation focuses on reducing carbon footprint or energy costs, as its 94% efficiency outperforms most competitors and aligns with sustainable manufacturing initiatives.
- Consider Harsh or Unstable Environments: Opt for the GE IC698PSA350 for sites with extreme temperatures, fluctuating power grids, or high mechanical stress (e.g., mines, steel mills, remote infrastructure) due to its rugged design and wide operating range.
Precautions
- Ensure Proper Load Distribution: While the GE IC698PSA350 handles 35 A continuously, avoid long-term operation at peak 40 A output to prevent premature wear. Distribute loads evenly across connected devices for optimal performance.
