Core Features & Technical Advantages

→ Wide Input Voltage Acceptance (12-24 VDC)
Accommodates fluctuating battery voltages in solar-powered remote sites, vehicle electrical systems, and backup power installations without requiring voltage regulation upstream. Eliminates the need for multiple power supply models across your facility.

→ Precision Adjustable Output (22.5-28.5 VDC)
Fine-tune output voltage via integrated potentiometer to compensate for cable voltage drop in long field wiring runs or match exact voltage requirements of sensitive analytical instruments. Maintains ±1% regulation under varying line and load conditions.

→ Extreme Temperature Performance (-40°C to +70°C)
Operates reliably in Arctic wellhead enclosures, desert pipeline stations, and tropical offshore platforms without derating. Industrial-grade components ensure consistent performance across the full temperature spectrum.

✓ Compact DIN Rail Mounting
Space-efficient design fits in crowded control panels and field junction boxes. Standard DIN rail clip allows tool-free installation and removal for rapid commissioning and maintenance.

✓ 1500 VDC Input-Output Isolation
Protects sensitive microprocessor-based equipment from ground loops, common-mode noise, and transient voltage spikes. Critical for installations with long cable runs or multiple grounding points.

✓ Comprehensive Fault Protection
Built-in short circuit shutdown, overload limiting, and over-temperature protection prevent cascading failures and protect both the power supply and connected equipment during fault conditions. Auto-recovery design resumes operation when fault clears.

Industrial Application Scenarios

Wellhead Flow Metering & Production Monitoring
Remote oil and gas wellheads rely on the 3BHB016295R0001 to power ABB XFC flow computers measuring multiphase production streams. The wide input range supports solar panel systems with 12V or 24V battery banks, while the adjustable output compensates for voltage drop in 500+ foot cable runs to wellhead instruments. Operators report 99.9% uptime in installations spanning West Texas shale plays to North Sea offshore platforms.

Natural Gas Pipeline Custody Transfer Stations
Custody transfer metering demands the highest accuracy for commercial transactions worth millions of dollars. This power supply ensures stable voltage to chromatographs, pressure transmitters, and flow computers, eliminating measurement drift caused by power fluctuations. The low ripple output (<100 mVpp) prevents noise injection into sensitive 4-20mA analog signals.

Offshore Platform Process Automation
Offshore oil platforms install the module in hazardous area enclosures (when properly certified) to power RTUs controlling production separators, export pumps, and gas compression systems. The -40°C to +70°C rating withstands extreme offshore environments from Norwegian Arctic installations to Gulf of Mexico summer heat, while the compact size allows retrofitting into existing control panels.

Tank Farm Inventory Management
Crude oil and refined product terminals use the power supply in automated tank gauging systems measuring inventory worth millions of dollars. The 1500V isolation protects against lightning-induced surges common in tank farm environments with tall structures and extensive grounding grids. High efficiency minimizes heat generation in sealed NEMA 4X enclosures.

Remote SCADA & Telemetry Systems
Pipeline operators deploy the module at unmanned pump stations and valve sites powered by solar arrays or thermoelectric generators. The >85% efficiency minimizes battery drain, extending intervals between maintenance visits from quarterly to annual in many installations. Compatible with ABB XRC RTUs providing Modbus, DNP3, and IEC 60870-5-104 communications.

Technical Parameters & Selection Guide

Selection Criteria: Choose the 3BHB016295R0001 when your application requires 24 VDC power at currents up to 1 Amp, input sources vary between 12-24 VDC (battery systems, solar arrays, vehicle power), operating temperatures exceed standard commercial ranges, or high isolation voltage is needed for noise immunity. For higher current requirements (2-5A), consider ABB's SPS02 series; for redundant power architectures, evaluate the DSSR170 dual-supply module.

Extended Capabilities & Integration Options

IoT & Remote Monitoring Integration
When paired with ABB XRC RTUs, the power supply enables cloud-connected monitoring of remote assets via cellular, satellite, or radio networks. Monitor input voltage, output current, and module temperature remotely to predict battery failures or overload conditions before they cause downtime.

Redundant Power Configurations
Deploy two 3BHB016295R0001 modules with diode-OR output coupling for N+1 redundancy in critical applications. Each module can carry the full 1A load, providing automatic failover if one unit fails. Particularly valuable in custody transfer metering where measurement interruptions trigger regulatory reporting requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

What ABB flow computer models are compatible with the 3BHB016295R0001 power supply?
This power module is fully compatible with ABB XFC series flow computers including XFC6413, XFC6414, XFC6713, XFC6714 (both G3 and G4/G5 generations), as well as XRC series RTUs (XRC6490, XRC6790, XRC6890, XRC6895, XRC6990 and their G3 variants). The 1 Amp output capacity is sufficient for a single flow computer or RTU with standard I/O configurations.

Can this power supply operate from solar panel direct connection without a battery?
No, direct solar panel connection is not recommended. Solar panels produce highly variable voltage depending on sunlight intensity and temperature. Always use a solar charge controller with battery bank to provide stable 12-24 VDC input to the power supply. The wide input range accommodates normal battery voltage variations during charge/discharge cycles.

What is the maximum cable length between the power supply and flow computer?
Maximum cable length depends on wire gauge and acceptable voltage drop. Using 18 AWG (1.0 mm²) wire with 1A load, you can run approximately 150 feet (45 meters) with 1V drop. For longer runs up to 500 feet (150 meters), use 14 AWG (2.5 mm²) wire or increase the output voltage adjustment to compensate for cable drop. Always verify voltage at the load terminals.

Does the module require external fusing or circuit protection?
Yes, install a 2-3 Amp fast-blow fuse in the positive input wire within 12 inches of the power source. This protects the input wiring and power source in case of module failure or wiring short circuit. The module has internal output protection, but input fusing is required per electrical codes and ABB installation guidelines.

Is the 3BHB016295R0001 suitable for hazardous area installations?
The power supply itself is not intrinsically safe or explosion-proof certified. However, it can be installed in Class I Division 2 hazardous locations when mounted inside an approved purged/pressurized enclosure or general-purpose enclosure meeting NEC 501.105(B) requirements. For Division 1 areas, use an XP-rated enclosure with proper sealing and purging.

How do I adjust the output voltage and what tools are required?
Output voltage adjustment requires a small flat-blade screwdriver (2-3mm width) and a precision digital voltmeter. With input power applied and no load connected, insert the screwdriver into the adjustment potentiometer slot on the module's top surface. Turn clockwise to increase voltage, counterclockwise to decrease. Adjust to desired voltage between 22.5-28.5 VDC, then verify stability under full load before locking the adjustment.
