GM6-PA2A

Description

AC input power module for GM6 racks; AC 220 V input (AC only variant) providing a high-capacity 5 VDC rail for heavy module loads, typically listed as 5 VDC at 6 A.

The Polar Energy Assessment:

The GM6-PA2A is the 220 VAC power module variant intended where the GM6 rack needs a strong 5 V supply for many I/O and special modules. LS documentation lists PA2A as an AC 220 V only input module with a 5 VDC output capacity (6 A) suitable for racks that will be populated heavily with digital I/O and special modules that draw the 5 V rail. Choose PA2A when your module mix pushes the 5 V rail beyond what lower-capacity modules can safely supply. Always confirm the overall rack current budget in the GM6 power-module selection chapter.

Pros

• High 5 VDC output (6 A) supports denser module configurations without separate external supplies.
• OEM-specified option for heavily loaded GM6 racks.

Limitations

• AC-only variant (220 VAC); not suitable where only DC plant power is available.
• Verify inrush and input characteristics for panel breaker selection.

Typical use cases

• Fully populated GM6 racks with many digital I/O or special modules that need strong 5 V rail capacity; central plant cabinets where AC mains are standard.
