Calculating with a formula
Proceed as follows:
1. Calculate the maximum current consumption
of the inputs and electronic components (I
1
)
as well as of the outputs/valves (I
2
).
2. Calculate the lowest voltage to be expected
on the power unit during operation (V
Omin
).
Take into consideration:
• the influence of load variation of the power
unit
• the fluctuations in the primary
mains voltage.
3. Enter the values in the appropriate formula.
The replacement circuit diagram and the
example explain the process.
