    Phoenix Contact: Transparent & Secure KNX Communication up to 1,200 mA

    KNX is a powerful and flexible standard for building automation. It enables the seamless integration of various devices for controlling lighting, heating, air conditioning, blinds, safety systems, energy management, and more. The KNX Step Power power supply ensures smooth bus communication. It is the first KNX power supply with a nominal current of 640 m and an active KNX choke. This adapts dynamically to the connected load of the KNX devices and increases the efficiency of the bus system up to a KNX communication of 1,200 mA. Unlike the passive KNX chokes available on the market, the full load of up to 1,200 mA can be ensured here without reaching magnetic saturation. In addition, the integrated color display provides all the relevant KNX status information at a glance. It does not just reflect the current system status but also provides a wealth of information via the menu. This is used primarily for the setup, diagnostics, and extension of the KNX system. This results in a range of advantages for the users and system operators: the BUS and AUX outputs can be viewed separately, so that the error analysis can be narrowed down.

  • IBOCO: DIN Metal Mounting Rail Series

    Discover IBOCO DIN Rail series, an extensive DIN metal mounting rail range available within the marketplace. DIN rail is notably used for mounting terminal blocks, power supplies, relays, control and distribution devices on walls and other flat surfaces, for applications inside enclosures. DIN rails are designed to allow you to smoothly and safely mount your electrical equipment faster than mounting individual electrical components. This saves on installation time during repairs, and even reduces costs associated with purchasing new hardware. By simplifying your wiring system, you can enjoy a more organized wiring design that is easier to maintain that traditional wiring structures in which components are installed individually.

  • Siemens: SIRIUS 3RV2 Circuit Breakers

    SIRIUS 3RV2 motor starter protectors reliably intervene in three different cases. In the event of a short-circuit – current >13 times the rated current – the short-circuit releases isolate the faulty load feeder from the power supply within only a few milliseconds. Greater damage, caused by fires for example, can thus be avoided. The motor starter protector features a lockable operating mechanism for manual closing/opening, to be used for example while carrying out repairs. The overload release isolates the load from the power supply if it is loaded with an overcurrent for a certain time. Tripping is based on a specific time-current characteristic. This prevents possible damage to the load and the system. The overload release also trips in the event of phase failure or extreme phase unbalance.
