Schneider Electric South Africa has introduced a new range of Phaseo single-and-three phase power supplies and transformers for use with commercial automated systems applied to simple, repetitive machinery. Single-and three-phase solutions are available in the range 100-500 Volts and 72-960 Watts and dedicated single-phase supplies are available from 100-240 Volts and 60-240 Watts.
Phaseo also offers a redundancy solution to improve availability. In this configuration, two universal power supplies are coupled in parallel with the primaries on different networks. It also offers advanced diagnostics via LED and a change-over contact allows fault signalling in one of the two power supplies to alert maintenance.
