Very few industrial applications are stagnant in their power requirements. It’s a constant evolution between adding devices and removing them as needs change. 

This creates massive headaches for operators who are constantly replacing power supplies. Fortunately, there is a better approach - using a modular power supply, or PSU. But how does a modular power supply work, and what separates it from other types of power supply?

These are a flexible PSU that allows you to connect only necessary cables to different components in a system, and disconnect them as well. These adapt to fluctuating demands and support a neater installation than other styles.

Learn more about the inner workings of these PSUs and whether or not this is the optimal approach for your needs. Regardless, Bravo Electro has the AC DC power supply or DC to DC converter you need to power your project with confidence. Shop now or reach out today!

What is a Modular Power Supply?

Let’s start with a quick definition. As we already

Powering inductive loads like motors and electronic controls presents a unique challenge for engineers and technicians - the high startup currents can cause inefficiencies, oversized power supplies, and increased costs, all while struggling to maintain reliable operation.

Fortunately, power supply manufacturers like MEAN WELL continuously innovate to help you overcome power supply obstacles. The LRS-N2 and HRP-N3 series are the latest example of this, specifically designed for transient high peak loads without the need for oversized units. 

The LRS-N2 series delivers up to 200% peak power for 5 seconds for robotic arms, motorized equipment, and emergency systems. But if that’s not enough, the HRP-N3 series takes things a step further with up to 350% peak power for demanding applications such as large industrial printers and complex machinery.
