40 A power supplies
11 May, 2009 | Siemens Ltd
Siemens has added a compact 40 A basic unit to its Sitop modular power supply series. It is 150 mm wide, which is 90 mm narrower than the previous unit. The 20 A power supply has also been renewed and is now 70 mm wide. The two Sitop PSU300M standard mounting rail power supplies for connection to three-phase 400-500 VAC networks now have a wider range input (from 320 to 575 VAC) than previous versions and they provide a reliable 24 V supply even when there are large deviations in the mains supply. The user now simply evaluates the ‘DC 24 V OK’ operating mode via an integrated dry signalling contact.
