PCM - Power Control Module
• 12, 24, 48 volt versions
• Dual Power Output Terminals
• IP66/NEMA4X enclosure
description
PCM Power Control Module is an active device used to control the voltage
injected into the leaky feeder cable via the Power Coupler Module. The
MineCom Power Control module takes the place of fuses & circuit breakers
used by some manufacturers, both of which must be manually replaced or
reset, each time the leaky feeder cable is damaged.
The PCM is actually 2 independent power control modules in the one package,
providing 2 independent regulated power outputs. The power control modules
will independently ‘fold back’ (reduce/limit) the current should a module exceed
1.5 amps current drain. Excessive current could be caused in several ways
i.e. leaky feeder cable damaged shorting the inner and outer conductors, too
many devices installed etc.
The PCM is available in 12, 24 or 48 volts versions. The PCM has a 2 PCB
mounted DC INPUT terminal posts and 3 PCB mounted DC OUTPUT terminal
posts. The MineCom PCM is designed to limit system outage due to cable
damage i.e. should a leaky feeder cable be damaged on the DOWN link side
of a PC series, it will not effect the operation of the UP link side of the PC
series.
The PCM is designed for easy assembly underground without the need for
special tools or skills.
