Product Introduction & Positioning

The ABB PHARPS32000000 is a multi-output power supply module specifically crafted for use within ABB’s modular power systems like the MPS III family. It delivers a spectrum of voltages needed concurrently by industrial control system components to operate seamlessly. Unlike single-voltage power supplies, this model provides five key output voltages in one compact unit, simplifying power management across complex control setups.

Its core purpose is to streamline power distribution by feeding varied modules and devices within the control cabinet from a single reliable source. The module’s design prioritizes adaptability to different automation architectures while ensuring operational stability and energy efficiency. Positioned as a fundamental building block in ABB’s modular power platform, the ABB PHARPS32000000 underpins control system reliability by stabilizing and conditioning supply voltages to sensitive components.

Key Technical Features & Functional Benefits

The ABB PHARPS32000000 offers a robust power output profile including 5V at 60A, +15V and -15V at 3A each, 24V at 17A, and 48V at 8.5A, meeting diverse load requirements within a single control environment. This multi-voltage capability allows consolidation of power needs into one unit, reducing cabinet complexity and enhancing energy efficiency. The unit’s capacity to support high current loads, particularly on the 5V and 24V outputs, makes it suitable for feeding high-demand processor modules and actuators.

Engineered for industrial use, the module delivers consistent voltage levels with built-in protections against overvoltage, overcurrent, and short circuits—safeguarding both the power supply and connected devices. Its sizeable physical footprint (approximately 21.6 cm x 8.9 cm x 44.5 cm) and solid build quality ensure it endures the thermal and electrical stress typical in control cabinets. The ABB PHARPS32000000 integrates smoothly into ABB’s Modular Power System III platform, facilitating ease of installation and maintenance across a variety of industrial process control systems.
