What Does A Power Supply Do?

Thursday, January 12, 2012 by Beckie Bordenaro
What does a power supply do? Basically an AC to DC switching power supply has one job:
It converts the AC (alternating current) signal input into a usable DC (direct current) signal.

Once the DC signal is generated it is used to power all of your equipment and devices.

Marshall Wolf Automation specializes in industrial DC power supplies and offers many options including:
  • A wide range of VDC output power supplies
  • 5 to 960 watt
  • Single or 3 phase
  • Over-current and over-voltage protection
  • DIN rail power supplies or panel mount models
Chances are you use multiple AC to DC switching power supplies on your equipment, in your factory and on any machines you build. Take a look at our offering of top brands and unbeatable pricing!

We also stock most of these power supplies which means we can ship them today.

Intrinsically Safe Barriers

Thursday, October 20, 2011 by Caryl Clement
Intrinsically Safe BarriersK-System interface technology:  solving a wide range of applications in one system, Pepperl & Fuch'sK-System guarantees a reliable and economical signal transmission between your field device and the control system. Whether your plans include a single isolating module or a large scale system integration, application-oriented solutions characterize the entire K-System product range.

Power Rail: the Power Rail is an insert in the standard 35mm DIN rail. When mounting on the DIN rail, the units are simply snapped in place. The Power Rail supplies the modules with power and provides a path for the collective error message from individual isolators. Power Rail reduces wiring and maintenance costs because it eliminates the need to daisy chain the wires. It also simplifies expansion. Just snap in a new module when you're ready to add to your system.

You can also get your din rail and din rail cutter here too! Call Marshall Wolf Automation today!  800-325-9653

Energy Management Solutions from Carlo Gavazzi - EM21

Friday, June 3, 2011 by Caryl Clement
Three Phase Compact Energy Meter, Detachable Display Carlo Gavazzi EM21

EM21-D Energy Meter Carlo GavazziThis three-phase energy meter with removable front LCD display unit can be used either as a DIN-rail mounting or a panel mounting energy meter.

This general purpose three-phase energy meter is suitable for both active and reactive energy metering for cost allocation but also for main electrical parameter measurement and retransmission (transducer function).

Detachable display allows three installation modes - DIN rail energy meter, panel mounting, energy meter and transducer.

The nature of our voltage mains has changed greatly in the last 10 years. With the proliferation of non-linear loads such as inverters, power converters, switch-mode power supplies, and computers, there is a growing concern for the quality of our power sources.

Problems often arise which can cause equipment failure or shutdown resulting in significant costs and loss of production. Power quality problems can result in failure of compensation capacitors, tripping of fuses, over-heating of transformers and motors, failures of electronic equipment, and high neutral currents.

Energy costs are becoming a significant expense in most processes. With increased energy unit costs, decreased generating capacity, and the environmental concerns with the burning of fossil fuels, it is important that companies reduce their electrical consumption.

Marshall Wolf Automation, your industrial automation distributor – with Carlo Gavazzi offer a broad range of power quality meters and transducers which give early warning of power quality problems - allowing preventative action to be taken before a major failure results. Most of our products offer relay outputs that can be used to immediately shut down a piece of equipment if a certain threshold is reached. Another option is to connect to your PLC or PC control system to provide plant wide monitoring of power quality using 4-20 mA current signals or via RS485 or Ethernet communications.

We also offer a number of software products for monitoring of a network of meters and transducers. This allows at-a-glance viewing of your complete power system.  If you are in need of any Carlo Gavazzi sensors or car washing systems equipment, call us today!  800-325-9653.  We'd be happy to help you!
