The Applications

1. Powering Industrial Automation & Machine Control

In automated production environments, every device from PLCs to sensors requires stable and continuous 24 V DC power. This power supply ensures controllers, relays, and operator interfaces run smoothly even when the input voltage fluctuates. High efficiency reduces energy waste, while overload and short-circuit protection shield sensitive equipment from failures. Compact DIN rail mounting saves cabinet space, enabling fast installation and system expansion. For machine builders, the ability to deliver 960 W at 24 V DC means they can reliably support multiple loads, keeping production lines operating without downtime and ensuring consistent product quality across high-demand manufacturing shifts.

2. Energising Building Lighting & Smart Infrastructure

Modern buildings increasingly rely on intelligent lighting and automation systems that demand reliable low-voltage DC supplies. This unit provides a steady 24 V DC output to LED lighting, motion sensors, and control modules while operating quietly thanks to fanless convection cooling. Its compact size allows easy integration into electrical panels, reducing installation complexity. By handling high inrush currents and offering strong surge protection, it prevents flickering or failures when large lighting zones are activated simultaneously. Facilities managers benefit from reduced maintenance, stable illumination, and efficient energy use, making it an ideal choice for smart building environments with advanced automation.

3. Supporting Logistics and Material Handling Systems

Warehouses and distribution centers depend on conveyors, sorters, and automated cranes, which all require consistent 24 V DC to function reliably. This power supply’s 960 W capacity and parallel connection capability allow it to handle heavy loads or provide redundancy during peak operations. Even under sudden current spikes, protective circuits maintain system stability, ensuring continuous flow of goods without disruption. Its robust design withstands temperature fluctuations often present in large logistics facilities. By reducing downtime caused by electrical interruptions, this supply enhances throughput efficiency, keeps operations on schedule, and supports the high demands of modern material handling environments.

4. Delivering Reliable Power for Harsh Industrial Environments

Heavy industries such as mining, oil and gas, and construction machinery require equipment that functions under extreme conditions. This power supply is engineered to withstand vibration, temperature swings from -25 °C to +70 °C, and exposure to electrical noise. Surge protection and short-circuit resistance make it suitable for powering control systems and safety circuits in rugged environments. Its long service life, with a mean time between failures exceeding 700,000 hours, reduces costly maintenance interventions. Engineers benefit from a dependable 24 V DC source that keeps mission-critical processes running safely and continuously, even in some of the harshest operating conditions.
