The GE IC698PSD300C is a high-density, convection-cooled power supply module engineered for GE’s RX3i PACSystems, delivering reliable 300W power to critical automation racks without requiring forced-air cooling. Designed for applications where dust sensitivity or fan noise is prohibitive, this GE IC698PSD300C efficiently converts 85–264V AC input to stabilized 5V DC (30A) and 24V DC (4.5A) outputs for CPU, I/O, and communication modules. Its fanless design eliminates moving parts, reducing failure points in particulate-heavy environments like cement plants or grain silos. The module supports parallel operation for load sharing and features active inrush current limiting to prevent tripping during startup. With MIL-STD-810G-compliant shock/vibration resistance and extended temperature tolerance, the GE IC698PSD300C ensures uninterrupted operation in demanding settings from offshore rigs to desert solar farms.

Main Features and Advantages
Fanless Reliability: Eliminates fan failures and dust clogging—ideal for textile mills, food processing, and mineral plants. Natural convection cooling enables silent operation in noise-sensitive hospitals or laboratories.
Wide Input Tolerance: Maintains stable output during voltage dips (85V AC) or surges (264V AC), critical for rural substations and generator-backed sites. Active power factor correction (>0.92 PF) reduces harmonics by 60% vs. non-PFC supplies.
High-Density Power: Delivers 300W in a compact form factor, supporting up to 17-slot racks with mixed analog/digital modules. Precision voltage regulation (±1% load/line variation) prevents I/O signal drift.
Ruggedized Design: Conformal-coated PCB resists humidity, chemical vapors, and salt spray. Withstands 5g vibration (10–150 Hz) for mining shakers or stamping presses.
Diagnostic Visibility: LED status indicators (Input OK, Output OK, Fault) enable rapid troubleshooting. Backplane-integrated diagnostics report voltage deviations via Proficy HMI.

Application Field
The GE IC698PSD300C excels in environments where fan-cooled power supplies are unsuitable:
Food & Beverage: Powers filling/capping machinery in humid washdown areas (IP20 rated), avoiding fan-induced contamination.
Mining: Supports hoist controls and conveyor PLCs in coal dust-laden pits where fans accelerate abrasive wear.
Water/Wastewater: Silent operation for municipal SCADA cabinets near residential zones; handles pump station voltage fluctuations.
Renewables: Solar tracker controls in desert sites (85°C ambient) without cooling maintenance.
Discrete Manufacturing: Injection molding presses where vibration degrades fan bearings.

Installation and Maintenance
Pre-installation preparation: Verify rack compatibility (RX3i VME64 backplane). Ensure unobstructed vertical clearance ≥50 mm above module for convection airflow. Confirm input voltage matches site supply (label-check) and use 14 AWG minimum wiring for AC inputs.
Maintenance recommendations: Biannually inspect heat sinks for dust buildup using non-static brushes. Monitor output voltages quarterly via Proficy Machine Edition—tolerances beyond ±3% require replacement. In high-temperature (>70°C) sites, derate output by 2.5%/°C above 75°C. Replace electrolytic capacitors every 7 years in continuous-operation systems.
