Power supplies

ifm electronic has released its own switched-mode power supplies that are designed to offer both value and performance and come in two designs: BasicLine in a compact plastic housing and ClassicLine in a robust metal housing. Both require only a small space on the DIN rail.

After power-on, the power supplies start, even without minimum load, and are short-circuit proof and overload protected. Two LEDs and a DCok output signal the operating states.With a wide input voltage range and cULus approval, they can be used worldwide. In addition to the long mains buffering time of 400ms, the ClasicLine has intelligent power reserve: at a 1.5-fold nominal load, the power supplies are said to be able to provide extra current for 5s and for longer in the case of lower overload.
