ABB DCP10 – Compact DC Power Supply for Industrial Control Systems
If you’re working on a control panel upgrade or setting up a small-scale automation system in a tight space, the ABB DCP10 tends to be a solid fit. It’s not the most powerful unit out there, but it’s built with precision and reliability in mind—especially when stable 24 VDC output matters more than raw capacity.
Key Features
- Compact design – Fits into crowded cabinets without blocking airflow or access to adjacent components. One thing I appreciate is how easily it mounts alongside terminal blocks and relays.
- Efficient AC to DC conversion – Delivers up to 10 A at 24 VDC from standard 100–240 VAC input. Efficiency typically runs around 88%, which helps reduce heat buildup over time.
- Wide input voltage range – Handles fluctuations common in older facilities or remote installations where grid stability isn’t guaranteed.
- LED status indicators – Clear visual feedback for power, overload, and fault conditions. From my experience, this makes troubleshooting faster during commissioning.
- Short-circuit and overload protection – Automatically recovers after fault clearance, reducing downtime compared to units that require manual reset.

Application Fields
The DCP10 shows up frequently in smaller automation setups—think packaging lines, pump controls, or HVAC panels in commercial buildings. It’s also used as a secondary supply in larger systems where redundancy isn’t critical but clean DC power is needed for sensors or PLCs. In many cases, we’ve seen it replace older linear supplies due to its higher efficiency and smaller footprint.
Advantages & Value
You might notice that while other brands offer similar specs, ABB’s build quality and component sourcing tend to result in longer service life—especially in environments with temperature swings or electrical noise. Compatibility with standard DIN rails and terminal covers means less custom work during integration. And since it’s widely used across Europe and parts of Asia, finding replacements or spare parts down the line shouldn’t be an issue.
Procurement-wise, it strikes a balance between cost and confidence. Not the cheapest option, but fewer field failures typically mean lower total cost of ownership over time.
Installation & Maintenance
Mount it on a standard 35 mm top-hat rail in a well-ventilated enclosure—IP54 minimum recommended if dust or moisture are concerns. Make sure there’s at least 20 mm clearance above and below for convection cooling. Wiring should use 1.5 mm² stranded copper with ferrules for secure termination.
Routine checks every 6–12 months usually cover input/output voltage verification and cleaning dust off ventilation slots. No firmware updates—it’s analog—but checking for loose connections periodically can prevent unexpected dropouts.
Quality & Certifications
Certified to CE, UL/cUL (recognized), and complies with RoHS directives. Meets EN 61000-6-2 and EN 60204-1 for electromagnetic compatibility and safety in industrial environments. Comes with a 365-day warranty against manufacturing defects.
