Weidmüller Launches Innovative PROtop Power Supply

Weidmüller presents its new power supplies in the high-end range with PROtop: a power supply for the most demanding of applications – powerful, efficient and innovative.

Thanks to the latest DCL (dynamic current limiting) technology, PROtop provides a very good dynamic range for the reliable triggering of circuit breakers and powerful motor starts. High efficiency and a long service life saves energy and cost. A significant increase in system availability is achieved via the creation of redundancies (n+1 redundancy), a parallel connection of power supplies with diodes or redundancy module. The integrated O-ring MOSFET technology from PROtop enables the direct parallel switching of power supplies, by the simultaneous reduction of power loss. Traditional diodes or redundancy modules no longer need to be incorporated. The plug-on module transforms PROtop into a communication-capable power supply. This creates new opportunities to make system operation faster, more flexible and more efficient. In short, PROtop is future-proof. The potential of Industry 4.0 is hence fully exploited.

High-end power supplies must ensure reliable, sustained and efficient supply to electrical equipment, even in harsher industrial environments. The systems also need to have constantly available power reserves, long service life and insensitivity to surge voltage, ambient temperatures or vibrations. PROtop is predestined for this purpose, with its innovative features, such as peak current reserve or attachable communication module.
