Overview

The Woodward 5501-466 power supply is part of the MicroNet Digital Control System, engineered to provide regulated power to mission-critical control modules. It operates on 120 VAC or 120 VDC input, making it suitable for diverse installation environments. This module is typically used in Simplex configurations, where a single control path is sufficient for the application.

Moreover, the 5501-466 features a holdup time of one AC cycle, ensuring brief power interruptions do not affect system operation. It supports up to 576 watts of DC output power, which is distributed to control boards and I/O modules within the MicroNet chassis. In addition to its core power delivery function, the module is CE and UL certified, offering compliance with global safety standards.

Therefore, this power supply is ideal for turbine control systems, generator protection platforms, and industrial automation cabinets where uninterrupted power and system integrity are essential.

Technical Data
