WOODWARD BUM60-12/24-54-B-001 3522-1004

Description

Product Overview

The WOODWARD BUM60-12/24-54-B-001 3522-1004 is a high-performance, modular power supply unit designed for industrial control and automation systems, particularly in demanding environments like those governed by Woodward’s turbine and engine control products. This unit functions as a highly reliable DC power conversion module, taking a standard AC or DC input and providing multiple, isolated, and regulated DC outputs to power sensitive control electronics. The rugged design of the WOODWARD BUM60-12/24-54-B-001 makes it suitable for mission-critical applications where power quality is non-negotiable.

• Product Type: Industrial Modular Power Supply

• Model Designation: The code BUM60-12/24-54-B-001 typically indicates:

  • BUM60: Series/Frame.

  • 12/24: Likely denotes compatible input voltage range (e.g., 12/24 VDC or a wide AC range).

  • 54: May indicate a specific output configuration or power rating.

  • B-001: Revision or variant code.

• Part Number: 3522-1004 is the primary ordering part number.

• Input Voltage: Wide-range input, likely accepting both low-voltage DC (e.g., 9-36 VDC) or high-voltage AC (e.g., 85-265 VAC, 47-63 Hz) for extreme flexibility.

• Outputs: Provides multiple isolated DC outputs, commonly including:

  • +5 VDC for logic circuits.

  • ±12 VDC or ±15 VDC for analog circuits and op-amps.

  • +24 VDC for relays and field devices.

• Power Rating: Rated for a specific total output power (e.g., 60W, 120W).

• Protections: Comprehensive protection against overvoltage, overcurrent, short circuit, and overtemperature.

• Efficiency: High efficiency design to minimize heat generation.

• Certifications: Designed to meet rigorous industrial and often marine or railway standards for shock, vibration, and EMI.

Advantages and Core Features

The paramount advantage of the WOODWARD BUM60-12/24-54-B-001 3522-1004 is its exceptional reliability and robustness, engineered to power control systems in the most challenging environments, such as locomotive engines, marine propulsion, and power generation turbines. Its wide input range allows it to be deployed globally and to withstand significant line voltage fluctuations. The provision of multiple, isolated outputs prevents noise coupling between sensitive analog and digital circuits, which is critical for measurement accuracy. The module’s design prioritizes mean time between failures (MTBF) and includes full diagnostic capabilities for health monitoring.

Application Scenarios

This power supply is specified for the most demanding control applications:

• Turbine Control Systems: Powering the core electronics of Woodward’s speed governors and control panels for gas and steam turbines.

• Locomotive Engine Management: Providing clean power to the Engine Control Unit (ECU) and associated I/O in diesel-electric locomotives.

• Marine Propulsion Control: Used in integrated control systems for ship propulsion engines and thrusters.

• Oil & Gas Compression: Powering control systems for turbine-driven compressors on pipelines and platforms.

• Test Stands & Simulators: Providing precise and reliable power for engine and turbine test cell instrumentation.

Comparison with Competing Products

Competing products include high-end industrial power supplies from manufacturers like ABB (CP-S), Siemens (SITOP modular), or Emerson (GE/ABB legacy lines). The WOODWARD BUM60-12/24-54-B-001 is distinguished by its application-specific pedigree. It is not a generic commodity power supply; it is designed and tested to meet the extreme environmental and reliability specifications of the heavy-duty transportation and power generation markets. Compared to standard DIN-rail supplies, it offers superior isolation, wider operating temperature ranges, and higher tolerance to shock and vibration.

Selection Guide and Important Notes

Selecting the WOODWARD BUM60-12/24-54-B-001 is driven by the requirements of the overarching control system, often as part of a Woodward-engineered solution or a system requiring its level of robustness.

Important Precautions:

• System Integration: This is often a custom or semi-custom component. Confirm its exact electrical and mechanical compatibility with the target system or chassis.

• Thermal Management: Despite high efficiency, it generates heat. Ensure the enclosure provides adequate heat sinking or forced-air cooling as specified in the manual.

• Input Source: Verify the available plant power matches the module’s input specifications. Using an input voltage outside its range will cause failure.

• Load Balancing: When using multiple output voltages, ensure the load on each output rail is within its specified current limit. The total combined power must not exceed the unit’s total wattage rating.

• No Substitution: Due to its specialized nature, substituting a generic power supply is not recommended without a thorough engineering review, as it may compromise system reliability and certifications.
