### Key Electronic Components & Features
The RWS600B-5-R utilizes several specific circuit designs to ensure stable power delivery:
#### 1. The Output Suffix: "-R" (Remote On/Off)
The **-R** designation indicates the inclusion of a **Remote On/Off control circuit**. This allows an external signal to toggle the power supply output without disconnecting the AC mains. This is critical for automated systems and power sequencing.
#### 2. Active Power Factor Correction (PFC)
It features an internal active PFC circuit. This ensures the unit complies with EN61000-3-2 standards, reducing harmonic current emissions and improving the overall power quality drawn from the grid.
#### 3. Protection Circuitry
* **Overcurrent Protection (OCP):** Constant current limiting with automatic recovery.
* **Overvoltage Protection (OVP):** Shuts down the output if the voltage exceeds a safe threshold (typically 115-140% of nominal).
* **Thermal Protection:** Sensors monitor the internal heatsink temperature and shut down the unit if it exceeds safe operating limits.
#### 4. Low Profile Electrolytic Capacitors
TDK-Lambda uses high-grade, long-life electrolytic capacitors. These are the primary "wear" components in any PSU; the RWS-B series is specifically engineered for an 10-year capacitor life under typical operating conditions.
#### 5. Remote Sensing
This unit includes sense terminals (+S and -S). These allow the power supply to monitor the voltage directly at the load, compensating for voltage drops that occur across long output cables.
