Industrial DC switching power supplies are an essential part of any control system that requires the conversion of available AC power into reliable DC control power. In addition to power conversion, our power supplies step down power from higher AC voltages to lower DC voltages. Manufactured by trusted names IMO and Micron, our power supplies come in either rugged metal or compact plastic options.
Power supplies are an important part of the automation process and are used to convert and/or step down the input power for devices. Some devices that require or benefit from the use of a power supply include:
• PLCs / Programmable Controllers
• Sensors
• Relays
• Panel Meters
• Lighting
• Timers
Power supplies see widespread use across many industries. Some of these industries include:
• Agriculture
• Water / Wastewater Treatment
• Food and Beverage
• Healthcare
• Oil and Gas
Understanding the power requirements of your application and knowing the power available to you as input power are important in choosing the right power supply. Know the answers to these questions to help find the right power supply for your application.
The power supply must be able to accept your input power to operate properly. A power supply may simply fail to turn on with input below its rating while input above its rated range may cause damage. Our single-phase power supplies are available with 90-264VAC, 100-240VAC, or 400-500VAC input power options. Three-phase power supplies are available at 400-500VAC.
The power supply’s capacity is measured in wattage. It is crucial to determine how many watts your application requires. Choose the power supply watt rating that is at or above the watts needed to power your application. Power supply models range from 15W to 960W output ratings. In order to determine the watts required for your application, take the required DC voltage times required full load amps with the formula W = V x A.
Ensure that the power supply you choose can supply the proper output voltage for the control circuit it is meant to power. Available power supply models allow you to select 12V, 24V, or 48V DC output.
