Product World Battery pole and busbar connectors Phoenix Contact phoenixcontact.com New battery pole and busbar connectors make it safer for workers to install energy storage systems (ESS). Both connectors are touch-proof and pluggable, with ratings up to 1,500 V DC and 350 A. While most of today’s ESS do not require 1,500 V capability, these high-voltage connectors will meet future demands. ESS designers can use the connectors in tandem or separately based on the specific application requirements. The battery pole connectors are installed on the front of battery modules, while the battery busbar connectors are installed on the back. The battery pole connectors rotate 360°, so they can accommodate the best angle to arrange heavy cabling. They have mechanical coding that protects against polarity reversal and prevents incorrect mating. The busbar connectors have a drawer-style, slide-in connection, eliminating the need for field wiring. Users can scale the modular connection system to meet application requirements, eliminating the constraints of cabling and allowing higher power distribution.
Switching power supplies IDEC Corporation lp.idec.com/powersupply.html The PS3V power supply family switching power supplies provide an excellent price/performance ratio and build upon the previous generation’s reputation for reliability and functionality while adding new features like push-in connections for simplified installation. The PS3V accepts a wide input voltage range from 85 to 264VAC, providing an output of 5, 12, and 24VDC with capacities ranging from 15 to 150 W, depending on the model. The output voltage is user adjustable ±10%, and the 24VDC versions deliver efficiencies ranging from 83 to 88%.

A robust yet compact metal housing protects the PS3V power supply, and it can be mounted in four orientations by direct panel mount or DIN rail bracket. Mounting brackets are the same as the previous PS3X series, providing easy upgrade options. Models are available with traditional screw terminals or push-in terminals for rapid one-step wiring. An operating temperature range from -25 to +70° C ensures these power supplies work in the most challenging environments.
