What should I consider when selecting a Power Supply Unit (PSU)?

  1. O/P Load Power
  2. I/P Type
  3. Efficiency and Reliability

Efficiency and Reliability are the two most important factors to consider in selecting a PSU.

The best way to ensure the reliability of the PSU is to choose one that provides a maximum of 30% more output than your actual total requirement. For example, if your system has a 90W power requirement, you should choose a PSU with at least 120W power output rating. By doing so, you are boosting the reliability of the PSU as well as prolonging the entire system life.

An efficient PSU will thus ensure that power loss is minimised and will greatly help to lower your operating costs in the long run. By choosing a cheaper, but less efficient PSU will just mean that you are paying for it through your monthly electric bills. Delta's Force-GT DIN rail power supply easily give our users a substantial efficiency of up to 95%. Other factors to consider include the operating conditions, types of safety certifications, PSU protection and application functions. Please contact your nearest Delta sales representative for a recommendation based on your requirements.
