Electronic Overcurrent Protector REF16-S
Description
Type REF16-S is an extension of the product group »Electronic
Overcurrent Protection« for DC 24 V applications.
It provides selective protection for all DC 24 V load circuits at a
width of only 12.5 mm. This is achieved by a combination of active
electronic current limitation in the event of a short circuit and overload
disconnection at typically 1.25 times rated current. Plugged into an
E-T-A socket, which is available with screw terminals or screwless
terminals, the REF16-S provides ease of installation. The sockets
allow power distribution and signalling via plug-in type jumpers. In
addition the REF16-S latches on when plugged into the socket and by
means of coding pins a clear assignment to current ratings or slots is
possible. Dimensions are in compliance with the standard DIN 43880
for the installation of built-in units.
DC 24 V switch-mode power supplies are widely used in automation.
In the event of an overload, however, they turn down the output
voltage which is meant to supply all connected loads. Therefore a
failure occurring in an individual load of the system causes a voltage
dip in all other load circuits. This does not only lead to an undefined
fault status, but may even cause a stoppage of the machinery or plant.
The REF16-S responds much faster to overload conditions than the
switch-mode power supply. It limits the max. possible overcurrent to
typically 1.25 times rated current (see table 1). This allows connection
of capacitive loads up to 20,000 μF with disconnection only in the
event of overload or short circuit. For optimal adjustment to the load
conditions the REF16-S can be selected in fixed values of 0.5 A…10 A.
Status and failure indication is provided by a multi-coloured LED, a
potential-free signal contact or by means of an integral short-circuit-
proof status output. Remote actuation is possible by a remote reset
signal or a remote control signal ON/OFF. The manual ON/OFF button
on the device allows intentional start-up of individual load circuits.
As soon as the REF16-S identifies an overload or short circuit
condition in a load circuit, it will block the load output transistor and
interrupt the current flow in the faulty circuit. Upon remedy of the
failure, the load output of the REF16-S will be re-activated by an
electronic reset signal or by manual operation of the ON/OFF button.

external momentary switch due to the
falling edge of a + DC 24 V pulse. This
reset signal can be applied to all devices
connected in parallel. Such a wiring is
made possible by means of the socket
accessory. Its effect will be that all blo-
cked devices will be reset. Switched on
devices remain unaffected.

l
The user has to ensure that the cable cross sections of the
relevant load circuit are suitable for the current rating of the
REF16-S used.
Automatic start-up of the machinery after a shut-down must be
prevented (Machinery Directive 2006/42/EG and EN 60204-1), e.g.
by means of a safety PLC. In the event of a short circuit or
overload the load circuit will be disconnected electronically by
the REF16-S.

The trip is typically in a range of 80 ms to 800 ms depending on the rated
current (I
N
).
Electronic disconnection and/or current limitation typically occur at 1.25 x I
N
.
This means that under all overload conditions the max. overload before
disconnection will not exceed 1.25 times rated current.

Without this current limitation a considerably higher overload current would flow
in the event of an overload or short circuit.
