theben PS 160 mA T KNX Power Supply

Description

Introduction

The theben PS 160 mA T KNX (SKU: 9070956) is a compact, highly reliable power supply unit designed to provide auxiliary system voltage and nominal bus power for KNX installations. Operating from a standard 230 V AC to 240 V AC line input at 50 to 60 Hz, this unit delivers a stable 30 V DC SELV voltage with a nominal output current of 160 mA, making it ideal for powering dedicated KNX line segments and bus devices. This device is part of our professional KNX System Components range.

Designed for convenient mounting on standard 35 mm DIN rails, the device occupies a width of 4 module units. It incorporates an integrated choke to prevent bus signal attenuation and power disturbance, alongside a minimum mains failure bridging time of 130 ms. With a standby consumption of ≤0.8 W and IP 20 environmental protection, it offers an energy-efficient foundation for building control panels.

Key Features

• Mains input voltage range of 230 V AC to 240 V AC at 50 Hz to 60 Hz.
• KNX bus voltage output rated at 30 V DC (± 2 V, SELV).
