GE IC698PSA350D – High-capacity AC Power Supply for PACSystems RX7i Racks

The GE IC698PSA350D is a robust AC power supply module designed for PACSystems RX7i (IC698 series) racks. From my experience, it’s the go-to choice when a system is packed with high-load CPUs and communication modules and you need stable backplane power that doesn’t flinch during startup surges. You might notice that the “D” hardware revision typically indicates incremental improvements in component life and reliability, which many maintenance teams appreciate for 24/7 environments.

Company’s Order Placement Process and Guarantees

• Warranty: 365 days
• Delivery: 1 week if in stock; no more than one month at the latest
• Payment: 50% advance payment, full payment before delivery
• Express options: FedEx, UPS, DHL
• Every unit is function-tested before dispatch, and packaging is reinforced for overseas transit.

Key Features

• Designed for PACSystems RX7i racks – Fits the IC698 CHS-series racks used across many large control cabinets.
• Wide-range AC input – Typically accepts 100–240 VAC, 50/60 Hz, so it works reliably in most global installations.
• High-capacity backplane power – Feeds RX7i modules with stable, regulated rails; ideal for CPU-heavy or communication-dense systems.
• Status/health indicators – Clear front-panel LEDs make quick diagnostics easy during commissioning or service.
• Hardware revision D – In many cases, later revisions feature component updates that enhance longevity and consistency.
• Protection features – Overcurrent and thermal protections are typically built-in to safeguard the rack and modules.
• No user I/O – Purpose-built as a power module; no field signal wiring reduces wiring errors and saves panel space.

Technical Specifications

Note: Specifications here reflect typical use of IC698-series power supplies in RX7i systems. If your project has strict compliance or environmental constraints, we can double-check the exact module datasheet before shipment.

Related or Supporting Products

• IC698CHS009 / IC698CHS0xx – RX7i racks; choose slot count based on system size.
• IC698CPE0x0 – RX7i CPUs; pairs with the IC698PSA350D for high-load applications.
• IC698PSA100 – AC power supply variant with lower capacity (often used in leaner systems).
• IC698PSD1x0 – DC-input power supply options (24 VDC input), useful where AC mains is not available.
• RX7i communication and motion modules (IC698-series) – ensure total load stays within the PSU capability.

A maintenance client recently swapped an older supply for the IC698PSA350D in a cabinet with dense Ethernet and motion modules; startup dips disappeared, and the CPU brownout events stopped. It’s a small change that, in many cases, stabilizes the whole rack.

Installation & Maintenance

• Cabinet environment – Install in a clean, dry enclosure meeting typical industrial cabinet standards; allow unobstructed airflow around the rack.
• Power wiring – Use appropriately rated AC feed with protective earth. From my experience, a dedicated circuit with surge protection helps in facilities with heavy drives.
• Mounting – Seat the module fully into the RX7i power-supply slot and tighten the captive screws evenly.
• Startup checks – Verify front-panel LEDs indicate normal operation before powering attached equipment.
• Routine care – Every 6–12 months, de-dust the cabinet, verify terminal tightness, and inspect for heat discoloration. Replace if abnormal odors or intermittent drops are observed.
• Safety – De-energize and lockout/tagout before installing or removing the module. Wait for capacitors to discharge fully.

Quality & Certifications

• Typically conforms to CE and UL for industrial control equipment; RoHS compliant in most markets.
• Manufactured under ISO 9001 quality systems.
• Backed by a 365-day warranty and pre-shipment functional testing.
