Description
In sprawling data centers or renewable energy farms, where racks pulse with logic scans amid fluctuating grids and heat buildup, power stability dictates whether systems stay online through storms or surges. Cement kilns modulating drives or textile winders syncing motors lean on supplies that shrug off 20% line dips without resetting CPUs, avoiding hours of batch restarts in just-in-time ops. The GE IC698PSA100 anchors these PACSystems RX7i setups in industrial automation, feeding modules like IC697VAL308 from slot 0 in harsh cabinets vibrating at forklift speeds. Used in control systems for marine thrusters or steel coilers, it counters brownouts common in remote substations, sustaining 100W across +5V, +12V, and -12V rails for I/O-dense panels. Bottling lines sequence fillers without glitchy droops, while wind turbine nacelles harness its ride-through—one full AC cycle—to keep pitch controls active. Engineers pair it with fanless convection for edge deployments, scaling to high-traffic airports sequencing baggage sorters. This leftmost power supply converts 85-264 VAC or 100-150 VDC into regulated DC, protecting downstream gear in EMI-saturated zones without bulky externals.
Product Positioning
The GE IC698PSA100 functions as a 100-watt convection-cooled power supply module, foundational to PACSystems RX7i rack architectures from GE Fanuc. It locks into the leftmost slot 0, delivering precise backplane voltages to CPUs, I/O like IC697MDL750, and comms via 48-pin connectors, with auto-recovery from faults. In control system designs, the GE IC698PSA100 load-shares seamlessly, jumper-free for global inputs, enabling hot-swap in redundant pairs while signaling ACFAIL early for graceful handoffs. Integrators favor its drop-in fit for 90-70 migrations, Proficy-compatible diagnostics, and tolerance for 47-63 Hz swings—perfect for utilities retrofitting SCADA without rewiring. Positioned as a reliable baseline for medium-density racks, it prioritizes uptime over excess capacity, suiting OEM skids where space trumps watts.
Key Performance Edges
The GE IC698PSA100 regulates +5 VDC to 4.875-5.25V at 20A max, +12 VDC to 11.64-12.6V at 2A, and -12 VDC to -11.64–12.6V at 1A, holding 5% ripple amid 125W draws for glitch-free logic in motion axes. Inrush caps at 15-30A cold, easing panel breakers, with 15ms ride-through and 5ms holdup outpacing rivals during grid flickers.
Fanless at 0.88 lbs and 132x33x125 mm, the GE IC698PSA100 slides into 19-inch RX7i frames, LEDs flagging FIELD OK, OUTPUT OK, and OVER TEMP for at-a-glance health. 250VAC isolation input-to-output blocks surges, backplane extension supports remote racks.
Proven for 100k+ hour MTBF, overcurrent folds safely per rail, auto-restarting post-fault—ideal for unattended solar inverters

Installation and Maintenance
Seat the GE IC698PSA100 in slot 0 first, using AWG 16 wire torqued to 7 in-lbs on L1/L2 terminals—polarity matters for DC—and chassis ground solidly to bleed noise before populating I/O. Maintain 4-inch top/bottom clearance for convection, fuse upstream at 4A/250V, and verify OUTPUT OK green post-power with multimeter on rails matching spec sheets. Avoid stacking near heat sources in vertical racks.
Quarterly wipe terminals for corrosion, cycle power to test ride-through via logic timers, and parse fault logs in Proficy for early overtemp warnings. Annual IR scans flag hotspots, fuses replace every 5 years—expect 15-year service with clean air paths
