General Electric 8913-PS-AC PAC8000 Power Supply

The General Electric 8913-PS-AC provides highly stable 24V DC power for PAC8000 process control systems. This industrial-grade unit converts wide-range AC input into clean DC energy for safety and control hardware. Because it supports Class 1 Division 2 hazardous locations, the module operates safely in volatile environments. Its high power factor and efficiency minimize heat generation within control cabinets. Engineers prioritize this model for critical infrastructure where consistent voltage delivery is mandatory.

Core Technical Specifications

Advanced Electrical Performance

The 8913-PS-AC maintains an exceptionally tight output tolerance of within ±1% during operation. Furthermore, the unit features a soft-start mechanism to limit inrush current to 30A during cold boots. This protection prevents nuisance tripping of upstream circuit breakers in large installations. The module also filters out electronic noise to ensure signal integrity for sensitive I/O components. Consequently, the power supply enhances the overall lifespan of connected field instruments and controllers.

Flexible Installation and Redundancy

Users install the 8913-PS-AC directly onto specialized node service or power supply carriers. This modular design allows for rapid hot-swapping and reduces system downtime during maintenance. Additionally, the carrier architecture supports dual-module configurations for enhanced reliability. By installing a second unit, technicians can achieve N+1 redundancy or increased current capacity. This scalability accommodates growing industrial networks without requiring complete hardware overhauls.

Rugged Design for Industrial Use

General Electric engineered this module to withstand extreme temperature fluctuations from -20°C to +60°C. The durable housing protects internal electronics from vibration and humidity typical in heavy manufacturing. Moreover, the compact dimensions allow for high-density mounting on standard system racks. It serves effectively as a primary power source for Ethernet routers and DCS nodes. This combination of durability and precision makes it a standard choice for oil and gas sectors.
