Connect power to the system

Bulk power supplies power DeltaV System Power Supplies (24 VDC) and field instruments through connectors on the Power / Controller Carrier. DeltaV Bulk Power Supplies are available from Emerson.

Note

The use of an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) is not a DeltaV system requirement. Follow your plant's best practices and carefully assess the quality of your plant's power to decide whether or not to use a UPS.

  1. Install the bulk power supply on a DIN rail.
  2. Connect the bulk power supply to the plant's power source.
  3. Connect the bulk power supply's 24 VDC output to the DC input terminals on the Power / Controller Carrier as shown in the following image. This provides power to the system power supplies.
    Note

    The power inputs on the right side of the following image are needed only when two system power supplies are used.



  4. Ground the connections as shown in the image.
