ABB SAFT171PAC Power Supply Module – High-Reliability Power Source for Industrial Control Systems

Product Introduction

The ABB SAFT171PAC is a robust industrial power supply module designed to deliver consistent, filtered, and stable 24 V DC power to ABB’s distributed control systems such as Symphony Plus, Advant, and MOD 300. It ensures uninterrupted operation of controllers, communication processors, and I/O devices, even under fluctuating power conditions or in electromagnetically noisy industrial environments.

Developed for long-term reliability, the SAFT171PAC is widely deployed in power generation, oil & gas, water treatment, and chemical process facilities. Its compact footprint, fanless cooling, and advanced internal protection circuits make it an ideal choice for installations demanding both durability and efficiency.
