DIN rail power supply units: How the service lifetime is determined by the temperature

Higher efficiency means less heat An essential factor for low heat generation in the power supply is, a high efficiency of the unit. The efficiency value describes the ratio of output power to input power of a power supply. The difference is converted into heat as loss. The advantage of high efficiency is obvious on […]

DC-UPS modules – with battery or capacitor?

An uninterruptible power supply is essential in certain industries: If manufacturing processes are disrupted due to power interruptions, high costs can be incurred. There is also a risk of data loss and damaged systems. DC-UPS modules reduce this risk by bridging power outages or load fluctuations with the help of batteries or electrochemical double layer […]
