1606-XLE96B-2: Allen-Bradley Essential 2-Phase Power Supply, 12 V / 96 W
The 1606-XLE96B-2 belongs to the Bulletin 1606-XL Essential line from Allen-Bradley. It takes 2-phase AC 380…480 V input and delivers 12 V DC at 96 W. Output is adjustable from 12 to 15 V. Screw terminals and DIN rail mounting keep panel work straightforward. Typical efficiency is 85.4%. Ripple and noise stay at or below 100 mVpp. The unit is still listed in current technical data, so supply is reliable. It suits machines running on 400 V or 480 V two-phase feeds.

- Export equipment built to European or North American mains
- Panels replacing older single-phase supplies with higher input
Oiltech Controls Review
- The 2-phase input is the key point. Confirm your feed before ordering. A single-phase supply will not work here.
- Efficiency is modest at 85.4%. Budget the 16.4 W loss into enclosure cooling.
- Power factor of 0.44 is normal for this class. Do not pair it with strict PFC requirements.
- Derating above +60 °C is steep. Check panel temperature before full-load use.
- Each unit is load-tested and output-checked before dispatch.

FAQ
Q: Can the 1606-XLE96B-2 run on single-phase 230 V?
A: No. The input is 2-phase AC 380…480 V. Wiring it to a single-phase feed will not start the unit and may damage it.
Q: What happens above 60 °C?
A: Output derates by 2.5 W per °C. At +70 °C the available power is well below 96 W. Plan airflow or lower the load.
Q: Is 100 mVpp ripple acceptable for my sensors?
A: For most digital sensors and relays, yes. For analog measurement circuits, add local filtering at the load.
Q: How do I set the output for a 15 V load?
A: Use the adjustment range of 12…15 V. Note that current falls to 6.4 A at the top end. Size the load for the lower current.
Q: Why is this unit still available when other XL parts are discontinued?
A: It remains listed in current Bulletin 1606-TD002 technical data. Stock is still moving, so lead times are shorter than for retired models.
