Description
The 5A26304G02 is a specialized Power Panel / Power Board Module (often manufactured in partnership with Phoenix Contact for system distribution) engineered for the Emerson / Westinghouse Ovation (and legacy WDPF-derivative) Distributed Control System (DCS) platform. It is designed to manage power conversion, distribution, and circuit protection for control racks and localized panel loops.

Engineering & Integration Guidance
When installing or replacing the 5A26304G02 module within an Ovation control cabinet, observe the following parameters:
- Power Safety Isolation: Always ensure incoming cabinet mains and rack power feeds are completely locked out and de-energized before touching terminal strips or replacing onboard fuses.
- Terminal Wiring Integrity: Verify that all 12 terminal strip connections are torqued properly and labeled per your cabinet’s loop diagrams to prevent intermittent power drops to downstream card slots.
- Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Handling: Wear a grounded antistatic wrist strap and handle the printed circuit board assembly by its edges or frame to protect components from static discharge.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the primary function of the 5A26304G02?
It acts as a power panel distribution board, safely routing, filtering, and protecting auxiliary or rack-level power circuits within Westinghouse/Ovation control infrastructure.
Are replacement fuses standard on this board?
Yes. The board typically features integrated fuse protection (such as 15A, 250VAC ratings) to isolate power faults and protect core backplane components from short circuits.
Is this part compatible with legacy Westinghouse systems?
Yes. Because Emerson’s Ovation platform inherited infrastructure layout designs from legacy Westinghouse control lines, this component fits into matching system cabinets and power schemes.
