The TX-PD8X is the ideal choice where Power distribution from a current-limited switching Power supply is needed. It is suitable for powering up to eight modules from a single Power supply. The current limiting circuitry in many switching Power supplies will cause the supply to shut down upon power-up when a high current capacitive load is connected. Upon application of power, the TX-PD8X ramps the voltage up, charging any load capacitance as quickly as possible, then switching full voltage to the load. If reverse polarity is connected to the input, the TX-PD8X disconnects the load until the condition is corrected. In system design, various modules are frequently operated from a single Power supply. Good engineering practice requires that the Power wiring to each module originate at the Power supply output. The TX-PD8X serves as the Power source for each of eight modules. The TX-PD8X normally provides Power to ground-referenced modules. A front-panel switch permits the installer to enable external control.
