DECS-250 Specifications
31 • Specifications
DECS-250 electrical and physical characteristics are listed in the following paragraphs.
Operating Power
Voltage Range
For 32 Vdc Excitation Power ..... 56 to 70 Vac
For 63 Vdc Excitation Power ..... 100 to 139 Vac or 125 Vdc
For 125 Vdc Excitation Power ... 190 to 277 Vac single-phase, 190 to 260 Vac three-phase,
or 250 Vdc
Frequency Range ............................. dc, 50 to 500 Hz
For redundant applications with a single-phase, 300 Hz Marathon
®
PMG, only one DECS-250 can be connected to the PMG at a time. In
redundant applications, a contactor should be used for each DECS-
250 power input or equipment damage may result.
If operating power exceeds 260 Vac, the connection must be
configured as L-N single-phase or equipment damage may result.
Table 31-1 lists the required nominal operating power voltage and configuration required to obtain 32, 63,
and 125 Vdc continuous field power for the DECS-250.

Control Power
Two control power inputs enable continued operation if one of the two inputs is lost. The control power
voltage rating is determined by the device style number.
