Life expectancy data logging

Din Rail power supply manufacturer PULS UK has introduced data logging to its single-phase QS40 and three-phase QT40 1Kw units. The move will enable the company to establish life expectancy figures based on actual in service conditions.

PULS uses semi conductor technology to collect data relating to operating temperature, input voltages and other vital information which can later be downloaded to calculate the life expectancy of the product. The company is also developing a version that can be downloaded externally allowing customers to monitor the condition of the power supply and schedule its replacement during normal maintenance programmes.
