Murrelektronik: MB Redundancy Balance

January 12, 2023

Power supply systems are often redundantly designed with two power supply units in order to achieve the highest machine run time. Murrelektronik’s active redundancy module, MB Redundancy Balance, decouples two independent power supply units and generates a redundant 24 V DC control voltage.

The Active Redundancy Module

  • Signal contact for each input
  • LEDs for channel-specific status indication
  • Wide temperature range from -25°C to +60°C
  • cULus listed and GL approvals
  • High efficiency thanks to innovative MOFSET technology
  • Energy consumption up to 87% lower than compared with conventional diode modules
