GE IC695PSA140B – PACSystems RX3i AC Power Supply for reliable rack power at 100–240 VAC

The GE IC695PSA140B is the AC power supply module for PACSystems RX3i bases, designed to feed the backplane rails with clean, stable power in demanding plants. From my experience, this model is a safe pick when you’re standardizing on RX3i and want wide‑range 100–240 VAC input, simple diagnostics, and the peace of mind that comes with GE’s industrial pedigree. It’s typically used in packaging lines, metals, water/wastewater, and OEM machine frames where uptime and easy swap‑outs matter.

Key Features

• Wide‑range AC input (100–240 VAC, 47–63 Hz) – Simplifies stocking and global deployments.
• Backplane power for RX3i – Feeds the standard RX3i rails (3.3 V, 5 V, ±12 V) to support CPU and I/O modules on the base.
• Revision “B” hardware – In many cases provides lifecycle component updates and improved robustness while remaining functionally compatible with earlier units.
• Status LEDs – Quick visual check of power-good and fault states; you’ll notice troubleshooting goes faster on the floor.
• Industrial protections – Designed with input protection and stable regulation for noisy mains common in plants.
• Drop‑in fit for RX3i bases – Installs in the power‑supply position on IC695CHS0xx bases; no special tools needed.

Technical Specifications

Related or Supporting Products

• IC695PSA040 – Earlier AC power supply for RX3i. Typically same input range with a different capacity class.
• IC695PSD040 / IC695PSD140 – 24 VDC input versions for cabinets with a DC bus; choose when AC mains aren’t available.
• IC695CHS007 / IC695CHS012 – 7‑slot and 12‑slot RX3i bases that the IC695PSA140B powers.
• IC695CPU310 (and newer RX3i CPUs) – Compatible controllers commonly used with this power supply.

One thing I appreciate is how easily this unit pairs with the IC695CHS012 base when you’re expanding to high‑density I/O; a packaging OEM told us the swap from an older AC supply to the PSA140B cut their commissioning time because the LED diagnostics made power checks obvious.

Installation & Maintenance

• Cabinet & ventilation – Install in an industrial enclosure meeting RX3i clearances; allow airflow around the module and avoid mounting near high‑heat drives without spacing.
• Wiring – Use appropriately rated copper conductors for 100–240 VAC input with proper earth ground. Provide upstream circuit protection and an easily accessible disconnect.
• Mounting – Seat the module in the RX3i power‑supply position on the base, ensure it is fully latched, and verify backplane connector engagement before energizing.
• Safety – De‑energize the cabinet before installing or replacing the supply. Verify the mains voltage matches the nameplate range.
• Routine checks – Periodically inspect terminals for tightness, confirm LED status, and remove dust with dry air. In most cases, no calibration is required.
• Firmware – The power supply has no user firmware; keep CPU and network module firmware current for system stability.

Quality & Certifications

• Typically complies with CE and UL/cUL requirements for industrial control equipment
• RoHS aligned in many shipments
• Manufacturer’s warranty is commonly 12 months; we support a 365‑day warranty on supplied units
