small 24 VDC applications where control cabinet space
is at a premium. It also conforms to EN 60335, bringing
industrial power supply capabilities into consumer
appliances such as vending machines and cash machines.
The power supply features a robust metal housing to
withstand rugged treatment and can be mounted on
a DIN-rail or base mounted horizontally, vertically, or
overhead. Output currents of 2.5A, 5A or 10A can be
supplied.

leading to high reliability.
The ECO power supply’s constant current characteristics,
delivers 1.1 times the nominal rated current with
lowered output voltage. This makes it suitable for
starting capacitive loads, for example. For low-resistance
short circuits, the output voltage is reduced to zero
and automatically reinstated once the short-circuit is
eliminated.
