UPS systems ensure greater reliability in critical infrastructures

In this blog article, you will learn why UPS systems are indispensable for ensuring a reliable and stable power supply in critical infrastructures, which components are needed for this, and which standards they must meet. […]

IO-Link- and EtherCAT-enabled power supplies: How can they help you optimize your system performance?

We see a global shift towards a data-driven economy developing at unprecedented speed which heavily affects the future role of data in the manufacturing industry. Therefore smart manufacturing is becoming increasingly important, data-driven insights are crucial for optimizing system performance and ensuring operational efficiency. The power supply is placed at a central nodal point in every system and records a significant amount of real-time information that is of particular interest to the operating company as well as the system manufacturer. A growing line-up of PULS power supplies give you access to this information via IO-Link or EtherCAT. In this blog article you will learn how you can profit from those solutions now and in the future. […]

More electric drives, less pneumatics: What does this mean for the power supply?

The shift from pneumatic to electric drives is a well-known development in the industry. However, in recent years, this topic has gained significant momentum. This is due to the continuously increasing cost pressure and the ever-stricter requirements for CO2 reductions. In both areas, the advantages of electric solutions prevail. This blog article illustrates, using the example of OEMs in the automotive industry, how smart industrial power supplies support the transition from pneumatic to electric drives. […]

Reaching for the stars: Power supplies for the most accurate telescopes in the world

The Cherenkov Telescope Array Project (CTA) is currently one of the most ambitious projects in astrophysics.  DIN rail power supplies from PULS play a decisive role in this project. A completely reliable and low-maintenance operation of the telescopes, in various climate zones, is crucial for the success of this project. […]

Twisting toward possibilities: The Rubik’s cube solving machine

Surely everyone has tried to solve a Rubik’s Cube at some point. And most of us know how frustrating that can be: after countless twists and turns, you still end up staring at a chaotic color pattern — even though it feels like you’ve tried every combination. But do you know how many possible combinations a Rubik’s Cube actually has? […]

Power supply for a race car: The fastest PULS power supply ever

Our CT10.241 accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in only 2 seconds and reaches a top speed of 120 km/h. That’s pretty fast for an industrial DIN rail power supply! The WHZ Racing Team and its outrageously fast electric sports car “eRnst” make this possible. […]

Power for makers: Power supplies for start-ups

MakerSpaces are a dream come true for every inventor. Tools, machines, sparks, iron filings and like-minded people make it such a cool place to be! But there is much more to the MakerSpace than a workshop for private handicraft: every corner is filled with innovations and technology waiting to be discovered. For example, one team is working energetically on a prototype of a transportation capsule for Elon Musk’s Hyperloop. […]

What is the meaning of the IP ratings for power supplies?

The IP rating indicates to what extent an electrical device is protected against the penetration of foreign objects and moisture. In this blog post, you can find out which IP codes there are, what the differences are between them and what you need to pay attention to when choosing a power supply. Environmental influences such […]

Analysing backfeeding events with the help of power supply data

Backfeeding is a physical process that is highly desirable in many applications, such as electric vehicles, for the purpose of energy recovery. However, in an industrial setting, backfeeding can be a problem and lead to costly system downtimes if the power supply units fail. In this blog article you will learn how power supply data […]

Efficient power supplies – An investment in the future

In the search for a suitable power supply, the costs play a major role, alongside the technical requirements. The focus is often on the initial purchase price, while other potential costs that may be incurred during the operation of the power supply are not taken into consideration. In this blog post, we demonstrate why the […]
