A power supply is an electrical component that allows inbound electrical power and transforms it into the exact voltage, current, and frequency needed for an industrial device. They are also known as electric voltage converters; DIN Rail power supplies are robust, scalable, efficient, and comprehensive. Power supplies placed on DIN rails are known as DIN-Rail power supplies. For powering appliances used in process control, factory automation, power distribution, and other industrial applications, these electrical devices offer a practical and space-saving option.
What is DIN Rail Mounting?
In control cabinets, enclosures, racks, and rack panels, electrical equipment is mounted on DIN rails, which are metal rails. The Deutsch Institute von Normen has established a specific set of standards that DIN Rail is produced to follow (DIN). Since all the goods may be installed on the same rail, it guarantees that electrical equipment like circuit breakers, relays, and power supplies can be purchased from a variety of different manufacturers and vendors.
Typical Applications of DIN Rail Power Supplies
- Sensors
- PLC's
- Solenoids and actuators
- Relays
- Motors
- Transmitters/receivers
- Security and alarms
Types of DIN Rail Power Supply
A DIN rail is a type of metal rail that is frequently used to attach industrial control devices, such as circuit breakers, within equipment racks. Typically, these items are It is constructed from cold-rolled carbon steel sheets with a brilliant zinc-plated or chromated surface finish. Although they are made of metal, they are primarily intended to give mechanical support; they are not utilized as busbars to carry electricity. However, they could act as a chassis grounding connection.
There are Three Major Types of DIN Rail
- Top hat section (TH), type O, or type Ω, with a hat-shaped cross-section.
- C section
- G section
