        Overview Manuals 12 A Rack Demand Heat Load Alarm Reading Branch Safeguards

        Features:

        • A twelve-amp regulated output supports Series Five racks with heavier internal module demand.
        • The AC input range is selected by a visible terminal jumper rather than an internal adjustment.
        • Separate PWR and RUN indications distinguish supply availability from processor operating state.
        IC655PWR501 is primarily a rack-capacity decision: its twelve-amp output provides margin for module combinations that exceed the smaller AC supply, but unused current capacity does not change individual module requirements.

        Upstream protection must account for the supply's input burden and startup surge as well as the steady backplane total, especially where several control racks share one cabinet branch.

        Separate power and run indications help distinguish an energized supply from a processor that is actually executing, preventing a healthy input feed from being mistaken for a healthy control state.

All prices are shown in USD.

        Positioning the twelve-amp supply in a Series Five base

        • Dedicated location: IC655PWR501 mounts at the far left, where its rear connector feeds the base-unit power conductors.
        • CPU base: Processor and local I/O demand are totaled against this supply when the base is configured as the controller rack.
        • Expansion base: A separate IC655PWR501 may serve an added I/O base whose installed modules require the higher current capacity.
        • Growth decision: If the calculated demand exceeds the available twelve amps, the design must distribute modules among additional powered bases rather than overload one rack.

        Maintaining airflow around a higher-load rack supply

        • Intake limit: Air entering the modules must remain at or below 60 °C throughout operation.
        • Natural cooling: The base dissipates heat by convection, so blocked openings can undermine cooling even though no fan is required.
        • Vertical clearance: Leaving 50 mm above and below the base gives warm air a path away from the supply and adjacent modules.
        • Rack spacing: Multiple horizontal bases need separation and clear sides so heat removal does not conflict with module access.

        Separating power health from controller operation

        • PWR on: A lit green indicator confirms that incoming AC is present and the regulated +5 VDC output has reached its usable level.
        • PWR off: An extinguished lamp can reflect loss of the branch source or a low internal output, so both sides of the conversion path require attention.
        • RUN transition: The relay contacts change only with processor RUN state, providing a status channel independent of the front power lamp.
        • External visibility: Connecting a rated annunciator to those isolated contacts lets operators recognize a stopped CPU from outside the enclosure.

        Protecting the high-capacity AC input path

        • Branch design: Upstream protection must carry the normal input load while riding through the brief starting current specified for IC655PWR501.
        • Internal fuse: The approved 3.15 A, 250 V normal-blow device protects this twelve-amp version and must not be confused with the smaller supply's rating.
        • Voltage choice: Energization is safe only after the bottom-terminal jumper arrangement agrees with the actual 115 or 230 VAC source.
        • Terminal access: De-energize the branch before removing the cover because hazardous voltage can remain on the hot, neutral, and selection connections.
        Description
        General Electric IC655PWR501 is a 12 A Series Five power-supply module for CPU and I/O expansion bases supplied from 115 or 230 VAC. It provides the higher-capacity AC option for racks whose calculated +5 VDC demand exceeds the capability of the six-amp supply.

        Input-voltage selection is made at the field terminals, while the upstream branch must accommodate both normal input burden and the short startup surge. The additional output capacity supports denser rack populations but does not remove individual module or environmental limits.

        Separate PWR and RUN indications distinguish regulated backplane power from processor operating state. This separation is useful when a rack is energized but the controller is stopped, because the two conditions require different checks and should not be represented by one combined status signal.

        Technical notes
        IC655PWR501 can impose a 50 A maximum startup surge; upstream protection must tolerate this transient while preserving the approved branch-circuit rating.

        FAQS

        The following is a list of questions commonly asked by our customers. Please contact us if you have a question about our process that is not answered below.
        VIEW ALL FAQS
        When is IC655PWR501 preferable to the lower-capacity AC supply?
        Choose IC655PWR501 when the combined maximum backplane demand of the Series Five processor and installed modules is above six amps but does not exceed twelve amps.
        The branch breaker trips while IC655PWR501 starts. What should be reviewed?
        IC655PWR501 can draw a brief 50 A maximum inrush. Review the upstream protective device, conductor rating, and available source without increasing protection beyond the approved circuit design.
        Does IC655PWR501 use the same jumper position for both AC ranges?
        No. IC655PWR501 requires the bottom-terminal jumper for a 115 VAC source; the jumper is left off for a 230 VAC source.
        How can a technician tell whether IC655PWR501 is delivering usable backplane power?
        The green PWR lamp on IC655PWR501 remains on while the input is present and the regulated +5 VDC output is at its operating level.
        Can the RUN contacts on IC655PWR501 switch an alarm circuit?
        Yes. IC655PWR501 provides normally open RUN contacts rated for a resistive load up to 250 VAC and 5 A, allowing a suitably designed external indicator circuit.
        What ground arrangement is required when several bases use IC655PWR501?
        With IC655PWR501 installed across multiple bases, bond C to G only at the first CPU base and interconnect corresponding grounds between the remaining bases.
        Why should the terminal cover be refitted on IC655PWR501 after service?
        Refitting the cover on IC655PWR501 shields the line-voltage terminal block from accidental contact during normal access to the Series Five rack.
