Power supply units designed for extreme environments

Designed for applications outside the control cabinet, these withstand extreme environmental conditions and can be installed directly in the field, next to the loads. This makes them the ideal solution for decentralised installation concepts.

Additional benefits of installing the power supply units outside the cabinet mean that not only can smaller cabinets be used but, in some applications, cabinets may not be needed.

By using Emparro67, the voltage is converted from 230 VAC to 24 VDC directly at the load, meaning power loss is much lower and the energy costs are reduced.

The power supplies convert almost no energy into heat and work reliably up to ambient temperatures of 85°C. In addition, the units have a power boost function and can supply up to 150% of the nominal current for a period of up to four seconds.

High capacitive loads can be started without causing voltage drops, and an integrated primary fuse provides additional protection of the unit.

According to the company, Emparro67’s compact and rugged metal housing is fully potted and IP67 sealed; and dirt, humidity, and cooling lubricants cannot damage the components.
