Phoenix Contact: Power Supplies for the Charging Infrastructure

July 19, 2021

The STEP POWER power supply family from Phoenix Contact has been extended to include new devices for your e-mobility charging infrastructure. The new 12 V power supplies have a compact design that makes them ideal for use in your charging station.

They reliably supply the charging controller and the charging connector interlock in the charging station with 1 A or 2 A. The power supplies have been developed and tested with regard to electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) in accordance with the EN 61851-21-2 charging station standard. They also satisfy safety standards in accordance with EN/UL 61010.

STEP POWER power supplies are the first devices in the world to deliver Efficiency Level VI – the highest level possible – in no-load and part-load operation. They feature a high coefficient of efficiency of >94% and low no-load losses of <0.1 W. Push-in connection technology at a 45° angle also enables very fast, easy commissioning. A wide temperature range from -10°C to +70°C is supported.

B&R Automation: Vertical Mounting Saves Space

B&R’s intelligent track system SuperTrak is now available in a vertical-mount variant. This helps to optimize the output per square meter of floor space. If products are only transported on the upper side of the SuperTrak, the weight is not supported magnetically. Instead the load is transferred directly to the rollers. The shuttles have a much higher payload capacity.
