ABB SS822 Power Voting Unit for Redundant Industrial Power Systems
The ABB SS822 is a high-reliability power voting unit engineered to ensure uninterrupted power supply in critical industrial automation systems. As part of ABB’s S800 I/O platform, the SS822 manages dual 24V DC power inputs, providing seamless redundancy for PLCs, I/O modules, and field devices. Its rugged design and fast failover make it ideal for industries where downtime is costly, such as oil and gas, power generation, and water treatment.
1. Product Overview
The SS822 acts as a redundant power hub, continuously monitoring two independent 24V DC sources. If one fails, it switches to the backup within 50 milliseconds, ensuring zero interruptions to connected systems. With a 20A output capacity and compact DIN rail design, the module supports space-constrained installations while delivering 95% energy efficiency and industrial-grade durability (-25°C to +70°C operation).

6. Selection Recommendations
Redundancy Level: Choose SS822 for N+1 redundancy (e.g., SIL 2/3 systems); use single-input SD831 for non-critical loads.
Compatibility: Pair with ABB’s S800 I/O modules (e.g., DI810, AO810) for plug-and-play integration.
Future Scalability: Opt for SS822-20A (vs. 10A variants) to accommodate expanding I/O needs without replacement.
7. Installation & Maintenance Notes
Wiring: Use 2.5mm² cables for inputs/outputs to prevent voltage drops; torque terminals to 0.7N·m.
Grounding: Connect to system ground via dedicated terminal to reduce EMI noise.
Maintenance: Inspect LED status monthly; replace after 100,000 hours (11 years at 8,760h/year).
Firmware: Update via ABB’s Automation Builder to enable advanced diagnostics (e.g., predictive failure alerts).
