Power supply in cabinets – how do you choose the right one?

Industrial solutions from Delta

The power supply is a critical component in every cabinet. An incorrect choice can lead to operational disruptions, unnecessary heat generation and shortened equipment life.

Delta offers power supplies for industrial automation where stable operation and long life are crucial. In this guide, we will go over what you should consider when choosing the right PSU for your control cabinet.

Delta power supplies for industrial automation

Delta develops DIN rail mounted power supplies that are designed for continuous operation in demanding industrial environments.

They are often used in applications such as:

  • PLC and I/O systems
  • Control and regulation equipment
  • Machine and process automation

Technical advantages of Delta PSU

Delta's power supplies are developed to meet high demands for operational reliability and efficiency.

Typical technical advantages are:

  • High efficiency
  • Stable output voltage even with load variations
  • Long service life in continuous operation
  • Compact formats for modern control cabinets

Common mistakes when choosing a power supply

When sizing power supplies, the same types of problems often arise.

Common mistakes are:

  • Too low power margin
  • Starting currents are not taken into account
  • Insufficient cooling in the control cabinet
  • Wrong voltage level for the application

By taking these factors into account, the risk of operational problems and unplanned stops is reduced.

How to size the right PSU

When choosing a power supply, you should always base your choice on the actual needs of your system.

Take into account:

  • Total load in the system
  • Reserve margin for future expansion
  • Ambient temperature in the control cabinet
  • Redundancy and availability requirements

Delta offers models that cover both simpler installations and more advanced system requirements.

Compact solutions for tight control cabinets

In many installations, cabinet space is limited. Compact power supplies make it possible to:

  • Reduce cabinet size
  • Simplify layout and cabling
  • Improve air circulation
  • This contributes to a more clear and service-friendly installation.

Summary

The right power supply is crucial for the operational reliability of an electrical cabinet. With Delta's power supplies, you get a reliable solution for industrial automation with a focus on stable operation and long service life.
