Features:

  • Provides 60A for 15 ms to trip branch circuit breakers selectively; prevents total system shutdown on a single fault.
  • Adjust signaling thresholds and output characteristic curves wirelessly via smartphone; no PC or software required.
  • Output adjustable 12‑15V; static boost 17.5A (125%); dynamic boost 20A for 5 seconds (200%); operates -40°C to +70°C; MTBF >1.19 million hours.
In a typical industrial control cabinet, one power supply often feeds multiple downstream devices through branch fuses or circuit breakers. When a short circuit occurs on one branch, standard power supplies trip or go into current limit, causing the output voltage to collapse. This shuts down all devices on the same power supply – not just the faulty branch. The QUINT4-PS/1AC/12DC/15 solves this with SFB technology. It delivers 60A for 15 ms – enough current and duration to reliably trip miniature circuit breakers (types B2, C1‑C2, Z1‑Z6) at the branch level. The power supply remains in current‑limiting mode, but the output voltage stays above the under-voltage threshold for the healthy branches.

Configuring industrial power supplies traditionally requires a PC running software, a programming cable, and often removing the unit from service to access a configuration port. The QUINT4-PS/1AC/12DC/15 eliminates these steps with a built‑in NFC (Near Field Communication) interface. Using a standard NFC‑enabled smartphone and Phoenix Contact’s free app, engineers can read and write configuration parameters to the power supply without applying power. Settings include signaling thresholds (e.g., when the “Output power > 75%” alarm triggers), output characteristic curves (e.g., constant current vs. constant voltage behavior), and response to overload conditions.

Industrial power supplies must handle voltage sags, high ambient temperatures, and sudden load spikes. The QUINT4-PS/1AC/12DC/15 is built for these conditions. Its input accepts 100‑240V AC (±10%) and 110‑250V DC. Mains buffering time exceeds 55 ms at full load – enough to ride through short voltage dips that would reset other power supplies. The operating temperature range is -25°C to +70°C, with type‑tested start‑up at -40°C. Above 60°C, derating is 2.5%/K, so at 70°C the output current is approximately 12.5A. For applications requiring more power, Static Boost delivers 17.5A continuously (125% of nominal) – allowing system expansion without replacing the power supply.

The QUINT4-PS/1AC/12DC/15 Phoenix Contact Power Supply Module may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL)by the manufacturer (OEM).

Description
The QUINT4-PS/1AC/12DC/15 is a high‑performance power supply from Phoenix Contact’s QUINT POWER series. It accepts 100‑240V AC (or 110‑250V DC) input and provides a 12V DC output with 15A nominal current. Static boost delivers 17.5A continuously, and dynamic boost delivers 20A for 5 seconds. SFB (Selective Fuse Breaking) technology provides 60A for 15 ms to trip branch circuit breakers selectively. 

When using the QUINT4-PS/1AC/12DC/15 engineers benefit from an NFC interface to adjust signaling thresholds and output characteristic curves via a smartphone. The output voltage is adjustable from 12 to 15V. Efficiency is 91‑92% typical. Mains buffering time exceeds 55 ms. 

The QUINT4-PS/1AC/12DC/15 features comprehensive signaling: an integrated relay (floating contact), two configurable active signal outputs (Out1 digital, Out2 analog), and multicolor LEDs indicating output power level (50%, 75%, 100%). The unit is approved for ATEX, IECEx, Class I Division 2, UL 508, and maritime applications (DNV GL). 

For industrial power distribution systems, the QUINT4-PS/1AC/12DC/15 provides reliable 12V power with advanced diagnostics. Its SFB technology selectively trips only faulty branch circuits, keeping other loads operational. The NFC configuration allows engineers to adjust parameters without connecting a PC.
