Any suggestions? We have 4 identical machines in our plant and the problem exists with all. Here is the problem 480v 3phase 225A supply for each machine within each machine there is a Siemens SITOP Power 40 DC power supply Input 3phase AC 400-500v Output 24vdc 40A. Per specs, on the supply side we have a motor protection circuit breaker set at 3A ahead of the breaker we have it fused at 20A. Everytime (ok not everytime but atleast 80% of time) the power is shut off to these machines due to power outage or shutdown for repair we loose this power supply. Has anyone had experience with these supplies are they too sensitive and or is there sometype of surge suppression we can put ahead of this supply? Ground connections have all been inspected and are fine.
