Product Overview

The 1606-XL480EP (1606-XL480EP) is a high-efficiency, industrial-grade power supply from Allen-Bradley’s Essential series. Designed to provide a stable 24VDC output for PLC systems, sensors, and actuators, this unit is engineered for heavy-duty automation environments. It features a versatile wide-range input, allowing it to operate on standard AC line voltages or high-voltage DC sources. With a continuous output of 20A and a significant short-term power reserve (up to 30A), it is perfectly suited for handling the high inrush currents typically associated with motor starts and large inductive loads.
