GM6-PAFC

Description

AC mains power module for GM6 main racks, used on larger chassis; supplies both the 5 V logic rail and a small 24 V auxiliary rail per OEM table. Ideal for 12-slot bases where extra auxiliary power may be required.

The Polar Energy Assessment:

GM6-PAFC is an AC-input power module variant detailed in GM6 catalogs as the main/base power option for certain base sizes (notably B12M and similar) and provides multiple rails (5 VDC for logic and a small 24 VDC auxiliary output per the OEM table). LS documentation lists PAFC with outputs such as 5 VDC ~3.5 A and 24 VDC ~0.3 A for some form-factors, making it suitable for larger single-chassis racks where modest auxiliary power is convenient. Check slot compatibility and exact output numbers for the particular SKU and base size you’re building.

Pros

• Multi-rail outputs (5 V + small 24 V) handy for larger racks and auxiliary needs.
• OEM-listed for larger main bases (reduces need for separate auxiliary supplies in many installs).

Limitations

• Not intended as a heavy 24 V plant supply; auxiliary 24 V is low current, check ratings.
• Verify exact SKU voltage ranges and regional AC input before ordering.

Typical use cases

• 12-slot GM6 main base installations, consolidated control racks that benefit from a small 24 V auxiliary output for fans, indicators or small relays, and installations where a mid-level 5 V rail capacity is needed.
