Servo Amplifier Control Power

Servo Amplifier Control Power

Servo Amplifier Control Power

(OP)
Hi all,

The amplifier I am working with is the Yaskawa SGDH-10DE. It requires 24VDC, 1A (maximum) for the control power. The spec sheet noted that a 24VDC power supply with a double-shielded enclosure is required.
This is probably a very primitive question, but what is a "double-shielded enclosure"?
I specified the IDEC PS5R-C24, which is rated for 30W output. Will this unit be reliable for powering the amp?

Thanks,
wddian

RE: Servo Amplifier Control Power

Not sure your question is "primitive". Sounds more like the translation is "primitive". That is often the case with overseas technology.
Main thing is usually good filtering and bonding. Could those two add up to "doubly shielded" in a Japanese/English dictionary?

RE: Servo Amplifier Control Power

Did they mean DOUBLE INSULATION from the safety standards?  

61010-1 defines

DOUBLE INSULATION has both BASIC INSULATION and SUPPLEMENTARY INSULATION

BASIC INSULATION is anything that the failure of could cause an electric shock

SUPPLEMENTARY INSULATION is addition insulation applied over the BASIC insulation.  

This may be the manufacturer reducing their liability.
