Series / parallel operation -- 1+1 Redundancy Use of 2 identical power supplies in parallel to provide continued operation following most failures in a single power supply. The 2 power supply outputs should be isolated from each other by utilizing diodes or other switching arrangements. N+1 Redundancy Use of 3 or more identical power supplies in parallel which are allowed to be connected in parallel for higher output currents to provide continued operation following most failures in a single power supply. All power supply outputs should be isolated from each other by utilizing diodes or other switching arrangements.

The PIRD20.241 is a redundancy module which can be used to build 1+1 and N+1 redundant systems. It is equipped with 2 input channels which can be connected to power supplies with up to 10A output current and 1 output which can carry nominal currents up to 20A. The module is suitable for power supplies with constant current overload behaviour as well as any kind of hiccup overload behaviour. The PIRD20.241 is the perfect solution to use in a redundant system if the power supply itself is equipped with a DC-OK signal. Another application for this redundancy module is to separate sensitive loads from non-sensitive loads. This avoids the distortion of the power quality for the sensitive loads which can cause controller failures.
