Model Number P0972QM-0C
Product Line Foxboro I/A Series
Component Type Redundant, Hot-Swappable Fan Assembly / Cooling Module
Key Function Provides forced-air cooling for high-density power supply modules in a PSS rack.
Electrical Specifications
Input Voltage Powered by the power supply rack's internal DC bus, typically +24 VDC or +48 VDC.
Fan Speed May operate at a fixed speed or have speed control based on temperature.
Physical & Performance
Airflow Designed to deliver a specific Cubic Feet per Minute (CFM) or cubic meters per hour (m³/h) to meet the cooling requirements of the associated power supplies.
Mounting Slides into a dedicated slot within the power supply chassis, aligned with the cooling vents of the PSUs.
Hot-Swappable Yes. Designed to be replaced without powering down the entire power system, ensuring continuous cooling.
Redundancy Often used in a redundant (N+1) configuration. If one fan fails, the remaining fans can provide sufficient cooling.
Status Monitoring Includes a sensor (e.g., a tachometer signal or Hall-effect sensor) to monitor fan speed and detect failures.
Connector Uses a specific electrical connector to interface with the rack's backplane for power and status signaling.
Environmental
Acoustic Noise Specified to operate below a certain dB(A) level for acceptable noise in the control room environment.
The Foxboro P0972QM-0C is a Power Supply Fan Assembly or Cooling Module for the Foxboro I/A Series Distributed Control System (DCS). It is not a primary power conversion unit like the P0916 series, but rather a critical sub-component designed for active cooling.
