TRICONEX PS8310

3. Advantages and Features

• Dual Redundancy and Fault Tolerance:
  The TRICONEX PS8310’s dual redundant design eliminates single-point failures by supporting parallel operation of two power modules. If one module fails, the other seamlessly assumes full load, achieving a mean time between failures (MTBF) exceeding 500,000 hours. This ensures uninterrupted power supply in applications where downtime is costly or hazardous.
• High Efficiency and Stability:
  With ≥85% efficiency and ±5% output voltage regulation, the module minimizes energy waste and maintains consistent performance. In a petrochemical plant, this efficiency reduced annual energy costs by 12% while ensuring stable operation of safety-critical valves and sensors.
• Rugged Environmental Performance:
  Rated for extreme temperatures (-40°C to +70°C) and resistant to dust, water ingress (IP66/67), and electromagnetic interference (EMI), the TRICONEX PS8310 operates reliably in offshore platforms, refineries, and other harsh industrial settings.
• Hot-Swappable Design:
  The module can be replaced without powering down the system, enabling maintenance during operation. This feature reduced unplanned downtime by 40% in a gas turbine application, where continuous power was critical.

4. Application Areas and Application Cases

• Oil and Gas: Powers emergency shutdown (ESD) systems, subsea wellheads, and liquefaction plants.
• Chemical Processing: Supports reactor temperature control, agitator drives, and high-speed centrifuges.
• Power Generation: Provides stable power for steam turbine controls, generator synchronization, and grid management.

5. Competition-related Comparison

• Superior Redundancy: Dual redundant design offers higher fault tolerance than single or non-redundant alternatives, reducing the risk of system-wide failures.
• Safety Certification: SIL 3 compliance makes it suitable for the most critical safety applications, while many competitors only meet SIL 2 or lower.
• Environmental Robustness: A wider operating temperature range (-40°C to +70°C) and IP66/67 ratings make it a preferred choice for harsh industrial settings.
• Efficiency: ≥85% efficiency outperforms many competitors, reducing energy costs and heat dissipation.

6. Selection Suggestions

• Safety Requirements: Choose the TRICONEX PS8310 for applications requiring SIL 3 certification, such as ESD, SIS, or fire and gas systems.
• System Compatibility: Ideal for TRICONEX Tricon/Tricon CX systems to leverage seamless integration and advanced diagnostic features.
• Environmental Conditions: If your site has extreme temperatures, high humidity, or EMI, the module’s rugged design ensures reliable performance without additional protective measures.
• Power Needs: With 175W capacity, it is suitable for medium-scale systems; consider higher-capacity modules (e.g., TRICONEX PS8311) for large installations.

7. Precautions

• Installation: Power down the system before installing or replacing the module to prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage. Use shielded cables and follow grounding guidelines to minimize EMI.
• Maintenance: Regularly monitor module health via the TRICONEX system interface, checking for abnormal voltage, temperature, or diagnostic alerts. Replace faulty modules promptly to maintain redundancy.
• Load Matching: Verify that the total load does not exceed 175W to avoid overheating or component damage.
• Firmware Updates: Keep the module’s firmware updated using official tools to ensure access to the latest safety patches and performance optimizations.
