Pepperl+Fuchs Intros High Integrity Power Supply

Pepperl+Fuchs (Twinsburg, OH) introduced its Elcon high-integrity power supply, a 15 A, 24 Vdc system designed for highly efficient, reliable operation in mission-critical applications. The modular design provides N+1 redundancy for uninterrupted system power, hot-swapping for live replacement, and LED and alarm outputs for audio-visual status indication and diagnostic evaluation.

The power module plugs directly into a three- or six-position chassis for maximum capacity of 45 A or 90 A, respectively. The modules require no internal or external cooling fans, and are adjustable from 22.5 V to 28 V for precise voltage regulation. Input is rated for ac or dc voltage, allowing a battery backup supply to be used. Additionally, an automatic load-sharing feature eliminates load imbalances often associated with ordinary linear power supplies.
