Schneider Electric C-TEC-2420-8 DC Power Supply

Schneider Electric AC C-TEC 2420-8 is a DC UPS with ultracapacitors that stores energy internally to bridge short power interruptions for 24 V DC loads, delivering up to 20 A at 24 V and providing 8 kJ of energy storage. In mains operation the unit charges the ultracapacitors and provides a 24 V DC output; when an outage occurs the stored energy is released in a controlled manner, delivering about 344 seconds of backup at 1 A or about 12 seconds at 20 A. The system accepts a three-phase 400 V AC input (nominal, 45–66 Hz) and is IP20-rated, with enclosure dimensions of 211 mm × 84 mm × 193 mm and a weight of 2.2 kg. Operating temperature ranges from -40 to 60 °C and storage temperature is -40 to 60 °C, with a maximum installation altitude up to 2000 m. This C-TEC 2420-8 DC UPS is designed for short-duration, high-current buffering of critical 24 V DC circuits in industrial settings where ultracapacitor energy storage provides a battery-free backup solution.
