Addressing the Challenges of Specifying and Making Power Racks

Sept. 28, 2022
The requirements for power racks are continuously growing. With user-specific rack systems, responses to the new challenges are available in the market.

Programmable DC power supplies are key components for production testing and product development in numerous industries. As these test systems grow in complexity, so do their respective layout, air/ water cooling systems, and wiring.

Solutions are offered that address these challenges head-on with robust power supply units and turnkey power racks that are certified to EN 60204-1, UL 508, and NFPA 79. This article explores the common challenges faced by engineers when employing power racks and how turnkey solutions provide a safe, user-friendly alternative to custom designs.
