The hold-up time is the duration between the instant when the input is shut off, and when the output voltage falls below 90% of the rated output voltage. The hold-up time is highly dependent on the internal capacitances of the PSU and the load: the higher the capacitance, the longer the hold-up time and the higher the load, the shorter the hold-up time. nA common way to increase this parameter is to use buffer modules, such as our DBUF series, or if the hold-up time only needs to be slightly increased, you could use a Power Supply with a higher power rating. (The hold-up time on the specification is based on full load condition)
