Description
The SD834 is a 24V DC switch-mode power supply engineered by ABB for its Ability™ System 800xA® and S800 I/O platform, delivering stable power to PLCs, HMIs, and field devices in harsh industrial environments. With 20A continuous output and 93% efficiency, this module ensures uninterrupted operation in energy, manufacturing, and process control industries, supporting applications from oil refineries to smart factories.
The
SD834 serves as the power backbone for ABB’s automation systems, converting 100–240V AC/110–300V DC input to clean 24V DC power. Its
dual-input flexibility (AC/DC) and
wide temperature range (-20°C to +55°C) make it ideal for global deployments. Built with
overcurrent/short-circuit protection and
2500V isolation, the module safeguards against electrical faults while minimizing downtime. The compact DIN rail design saves 40% cabinet space compared to legacy solutions, enabling easy retrofitting.

ABB SD834
- Energy Efficiency: 93% efficiency reduces energy costs by $1,200/year in a typical 10A load scenario (U.S. food plant case).
- Redundancy Ready: Pair with ABB’s SS823 voting unit for N+1 redundancy, achieving 99.999% uptime in critical systems (e.g., offshore platforms).
- Rugged Design: MTBF of 500,000 hours (IEC 61730), 2x longer than standard modules, proven in 10+ years of operation at a German chemical plant.
- Oil & Gas: Powers 500+ I/O modules in a Norwegian offshore platform, eliminating voltage fluctuations and cutting unplanned shutdowns by 70%.
- Manufacturing: Supports 24/7 automotive assembly lines in China, ensuring stable power for 200+ robots and reducing weld defects by 35%.
- Renewable Energy: Maintains grid stability in a U.S. wind farm, delivering clean power to SCADA systems during voltage sags (-40% dip tolerance).
Case Study: A Middle Eastern refinery deployed SD834 in redundant mode, reducing annual downtime from 80 hours to 2 hours, saving $5M in production losses.
- Output Capacity: 20A vs. 15A in comparable modules, supporting 33% more devices per rack.
- Temperature Range: Operates at -20°C vs. 0°C minimum for most alternatives, critical for Arctic installations.
- Efficiency Premium: 93% vs. 88% average, saving $500/year in energy for a 15A load.
ABB SD834
- Load Calculation: Ensure total load ≤16A for continuous operation (derate 20% for 24/7 use).
- Redundancy: Use SD834 + SS823 for safety-critical systems (e.g., petrochemical reactors).
- Environment: Opt for SD834-H (IP65 variant) for outdoor/washdown areas (e.g., wastewater plants).
- Future-Proofing: While compatible with legacy systems, consider ABB’s SD835 (25A) for new projects requiring scalability.
- Wiring: Use AWG 10–14 cables for input; AWG 16–18 for output (max 50m run).
- Cooling: Maintain 10mm airflow clearance; add fans for ambient >40°C.
- Calibration: Annual voltage check via front-panel potentiometer (±1% tolerance).
- Safety: Disconnect power before adjusting settings; wear ESD gloves during handling.
