Overview

The ABB SB510 Backup Power Supply is designed for industrial automation systems requiring high reliability and continuous operation. It delivers regulated backup power from a connected battery, ensuring critical control components remain powered during short-term outages or voltage fluctuations.

This module is part of the Advant Master Process Control System and is widely applied in power generation, oil & gas, and process industries. It accepts a broad input voltage range—110–230 VAC (47–60 Hz) or 110–230 VDC—making it highly adaptable. The SB510 is specifically engineered to charge and maintain a 12 V, 4 Ah NiCd battery, ensuring readiness for emergency power delivery.

For example, in a substation automation setup, the SB510 can keep protection relays and communication modules operational during a grid disturbance, enabling safe shutdown or system recovery.
