Power reliability
Don’t overlook the basics. Power touches every aspect of a control system, and logic platforms are dependent on proper power and protection. No matter how sophisticated your control system, a “line down” situation is only one power disturbance away.
True power reliability involves protection against surges and overcurrents and conversion of AC to DC while providing redundancy and battery back-up, monitoring for faults, and distributing power to end-devices. Combined, these four elements provide the foundation on which reliable control systems should be built.
With power reliability, we provide comprehensive and reliable supply concepts. Solutions consisting of surge protection, power supply, device protection, and energy monitoring ensure very high system availability.
Avoid unplanned system failures and downtimes
Unplanned system failures cost time and money. For efficient operation, you need reliable supply solutions consisting of surge protection, power supply, device protection, and energy monitoring with the corresponding measurement technology. Choose us as a partner who provides you with everything from a single source, from selection to installation right through to operation. With the extensive Phoenix Contact portfolio, you not only ensure very high system availability, but also efficient and sustainable system operation.

Protect safety circuits to meet NFPA 79 (2018)
This video outlines everything you need to know to ensure your safety circuits are protected.
Where to install SPD types 1-2-3 in accordance with UL 1449
Type 1, 2, and 3 surge protective devices (SPDs) are UL Listed SPDs that can be installed as standalone suppressors within their specified application locations. This paper explains where to install each type.
Fundamentals of overcurrent protection
Overcurrent protection is selected based on the nominal voltage, nominal current, and, if required, the starting current of an end device. The expected error situation –short circuit or overload – then determines the appropriate shutdown behavior.
