When it comes to power supplies, all products are definitely not equal. While there are many products out there to choose from, serving niche markets often demands a unique power supply.
Certain industries have very specific industry standards – the railway and marine industries for example, need power supplies that meet certain criteria. Standard railway requirements include electrical safety, fire protection, and shock and vibration compliance.
In addition to actual rail converters, the product range of power supplies for the railway industry also includes DC/AC inverters, filters, multi-power supply systems and an extensive range of AC/DC modules that will be suitable for various applications.
Standard Power Supplies – for the Railway Industry
Our standard power supply products can be used for applications in the railway industry such as train control and traction technology, air conditioning and heating systems, door controls, lighting on trains, braking systems, windscreen wipers, signalling, points control and more.
We have a range of DC-DC converters right through to 300 watts available; Our DC-DC converters are available in various wide DC input ranges. The standard functions include DC input active surge current limiting, a built-in electromagnetic interference filter and input polarity reverse protection.
Specially Designed
The primary switched DC-DC converters that have 400W output of power are specially designed for railway applications and they operate according to the push-pull principle. The input DC-voltage is chopped by two push-pull working transistors with a frequency of approximately 60kHz.
With the help of a transformer and secondary linear choke, a galvanically-isolated output voltage (of 12V or 24V) is produced, which is then adjusted by a pulse-width modulation according to the current mode principle.
Our DC-DC converters are a low-cost, high reliability option – and they have been put through extensive safety and functional testing to ensure they are fit for purpose.
Standard Power Supplies – for Marine Applications
Power sources can range from good to poor on shipboard environments, making them a challenging prospect for any power supply products. Marine applications often require a wide input range which will be of varied quality – and often the overall size and the reliability of the product will be crucial.
A supply with universal input can be customised to meet the exact specifications for different marine applications. We can assemble and configure the power supply to the application’s custom voltage and current needs, using our stock of modular and off-the-shelf products. Dispatch is quick and efficient, meaning the PSU will be delivered to you as soon as possible. Improved efficiency and increased space are other bonuses.
Applications include power supplies, linked IT systems, fire extinguishing pumps, power circuits, crane systems, passenger systems, entertainment areas and more.
Case Study: The Rail Industry
Our client who supplies high performance window wipers, works with industries where industry standards and non-standard and often involve unique products, primarily the rail and marine industries. The EMC specifications are different and what they have found is that not many UK suppliers look at the correct information to ensure compliance; voltage ranges and power capabilities for instance.
Phil from the company states “Having worked with Jeff for many years, Jeff consistently provides solutions to the challenge and specification we present him”.
