Product Overview

The ABB PHARPSPEP11013 (also referenced as 6644463A2) is a high-performance Power Entry Panel (PEP) engineered as the primary point of AC or DC power distribution for ABB’s Modular Power System III (MPS III) architecture. Designed specifically for Bailey INFI 90, Net 90, and Symphony Harmony distributed control systems (DCS) , this single-chassis panel plays a critical role in routing, protecting, and conditioning incoming electrical power to supply the power supply modules housed in MPS III chassis systems.

As the first-line interface between field power sources and ABB Bailey control infrastructure, the PHARPSPEP11013 ensures that controllers, I/O modules, and peripheral devices receive stable, reliable DC operating power. Equipped with internal fusing, terminal blocks, grounding lugs, and circuit protection mechanisms, this power entry panel safeguards sensitive automation components from overcurrent, short circuits, and electrical hazards. Built for durability, field serviceability, and consistent performance, the PHARPSPEP11013 is well-suited for harsh industrial environments where uptime, redundancy, and electrical safety are essential.

Key Technical Specifications

Key Features

Centralized Power Distribution – The PHARPSPEP11013 functions as the main entry point for incoming power, providing proper voltage transformation, surge suppression, and isolation before distribution to control system modules. It routes and distributes power to MPS III power supply trays, ensuring each module receives clean, regulated DC power.

Comprehensive Circuit Protection – Equipped with integrated circuit breakers, fuses, and terminal blocks, the panel protects the electrical system from overcurrent and short circuits. Built-in overvoltage protection (OVP), overcurrent protection (OCP), short circuit protection (SCP), and over-temperature protection (OTP) safeguard both the power entry panel and connected equipment from electrical faults.

Dual Power Input Support – The panel supports both main and auxiliary 120/240 VAC inputs, enabling redundant power feed configurations for enhanced system availability. This dual-feed capability is critical for mission-critical applications where uninterrupted power delivery is paramount.

Industrial-Grade Construction – Manufactured from high-strength galvanized steel or aluminum with a corrosion-resistant finish, the chassis delivers excellent durability in harsh industrial environments. The rugged construction ensures structural integrity against vibration, dust, and temperature extremes common in power plants, refineries, and manufacturing facilities.

Real-Time Power Monitoring – The panel provides continuous monitoring of voltage and current output, with status indicators and fault alarms for rapid diagnostics. Optional remote monitoring interfaces (RS-485/Modbus) enable centralized power management from the operator station or engineering workstation.

Passive Cooling Design – Engineered for passive convection cooling, the panel eliminates the need for active fan components, reducing maintenance requirements and improving long-term reliability.

Hot-Swappable Module Compatibility – The panel supports N+1 redundant power module configurations and is fully compatible with hot-swappable MPS III power trays, enabling online replacement without system shutdown.

Compact Single-Chassis Form Factor – The single-chassis design offers a compact footprint for space-constrained cabinet installations while providing full power distribution capabilities for smaller to medium-sized DCS deployments.
