Siemens 6EP1333-3BA00 SITOP Modular PSU – 300% Power Boost 25 ms, Adjustable 24–28.8 V Output

Product Overview

The 6EP1333-3BA00​ is a Siemens SITOP modular stabilized switch-mode power supply delivering 24 V DC at 5 A (120 W nominal), designed for single-phase and two-phase AC mains worldwide. Its standout specification is the dual-range wide input: 120–230 V AC and​ 230–500 V AC auto-ranging, meaning one part number covers both standard single-phase panels (120/208/230 V) and two-phase / split-phase 230–500 V arrangements (common on 277/480 V split-secondaries in North America, or 230–400 V European three-phase-with-neutral tapped as two-phase). This input flexibility makes the 6EP1333-3BA00​ a default choice for OEM machine builders shipping the same control-panel BOM to multiple continents without juggling regional PSU SKUs.

Belonging to the SITOP modular 1ph/2ph family (the “-3BA00” suffix denotes the current-generation modular line, distinct from the PSU300S 3-phase 400–500 V series which carries “6EP14xx” order numbers), the 6EP1333-3BA00​ packages a stabilized, short-circuit-protected, zero-potential DC output with potentiometer adjustment from 24 V up to 28.8 V DC—useful for compensating cable drop on longer 24 V sensor/actuator runs or matching Siemens PLC/VFD 24 V bias preferences. A 300 % power boost for 25 ms handles motor-inrush or contactor-close surges that would trip a bare 5 A rating, while a selectable soft output characteristic enables parallel switching with load sharing for scale-out or redundancy builds.

The module mounts on a standard 35 mm DIN rail, requires zero side clearance​ to neighboring devices (even active heat-generating units like PLC CPUs), and needs only top/bottom convection gaps (≥ 40 mm for the wider PSU300S siblings; the 6EP1333-3BA00​ being smaller follows similar convention). Three LEDs (DC 24 V OK, overload, fault) give at-a-glance rack status. Ambient rating spans –25 to +70 °C (full load to +60 °C, derated 5 %/K above), with approvals covering CE, cULus, CB, ATEX, IECEx, cCSAus Class I Div 2, and DNV GL—positioning the 6EP1333-3BA00​ for both factory-floor panels and light marine/offshore enclosures.

Main Features and Advantages

Worldwide-input in one SKU.​ The core differentiator of the 6EP1333-3BA00​ is the dual-range input: 120–230 V AC covers Japan 100 V (slight undervolt tolerated), North America 120/208 V, Europe 230 V, and China 220 V; flip to 230–500 V AC and the same unit lands on 277 V (North American lighting leg), 380/400/415 V two-phase tapped, or 480 V split-phase secondary. For machine OEMs and system integrators maintaining one panel BOM for global shipments, this eliminates the “120 V version / 230 V version” spare-parts split that plagues lesser PSU lines.

300 % power boost for real-world inrush.​ A 5 A nameplate sounds tight until a panel wakes up: three 24 V contactors closing, a solenoid bank firing, and the PLC output stage all land together. The 6EP1333-3BA00​ delivers 15 A (300 % rated) for 25 ms—long enough to cover contactor close-and-hold transitions—then settles back to steady 5 A. This means specifiers don’t have to oversize to 10 A “just to be safe,” saving DIN-rail space and heat budget.

Adjustable 24–28.8 V output for cable-drop compensation.​ The front potentiometer lets field engineers nudge the DC bus up to 28.8 V maximum. On panels where the 24 V rail drives long runs of M12 sensor cables or remote I/O drops (ET 200 kind), the extra headroom keeps the far-end device above its 20 V UVLO even under full load. The 6EP1333-3BA00​ thus adapts to panel layout rather than forcing the panel to adapt to a fixed 24.0 V.

Zero side clearance, small footprint.​ At 50 mm wide (roughly 3 TE on a Siemens S7-1200/1500 rail), the 6EP1333-3BA00​ doesn’t demand lateral spacing to neighbors—even next to a heat-generating PLC CPU or profinet switch. Only top/bottom convection gaps matter (≥ 40 mm recommended for the family, though the 50 mm width sibling is less demanding than the 90/150 mm PSU300S units). In compact machine-mounted enclosures where every millimeter counts, that zero-side-clearance claim directly converts to one more slot for an I/O card or a terminal block row.

Selectable short-circuit strategy & parallel-ready.​ Through the onboard changeover switch, the 6EP1333-3BA00​ lets you pick whether a sustained short triggers a restart attempt (auto-recover once the fault clears) or clamps to constant-current hiccup—useful when the 24 V rail feeds both sensitive electronics (prefer restart) and inductive solenoid banks (where constant-current limits heating on a stuck-on short). The soft output characteristic can also be selected for parallel switching: two 6EP1333-3BA00​ units share load, and a SITOP redundancy module (PSE202U etc.) can be added for 1+1 hot standby without diode-module burn-up.

Ruggedized approvals for harsh duty.​ Between cULus, ATEX/IECEx (intrinsically safe loop support when paired with IS barriers), cCSAus Class I Div 2 (oil & gas panels), and DNV GL (marine auxiliary panels), the 6EP1333-3BA00​ is specified on panels that leave the clean factory floor—offshore skids, water-treatment MCCs, food-line washdown enclosures (outside the spray zone, IP20 inside a higher-rated cabinet). The –25 °C cold-start rating also matters for outdoor telecom/infrastructure panels in northern climates where the unheated enclosure sees winter soak.

Expandable through SITOP ecosystem.​ The 6EP1333-3BA00​ is designed as the anchor PSU for SITOP add-on modules: redundancy (PSE202U), selectivity/diagnostic (PSE201U), buffer (SITOP BU1200/BU2400 for 24 V bridging across mains loss), and DC-UPS (SITOP UPS1600 with BAT1600 batteries). For a panel designer, this means starting with the 6EP1333-3BA00​ as the 5 A backbone and scaling protection upward without re-cabling the 24 V distribution.
