Power Reliability - Phoenix Contact

Power Reliability - Endless Possibilities

Solutions for superior system availability

True innovation starts with reliable power. At Phoenix Contact their Power Reliability solutions are designed to protect your systems from surges, overcurrents, and unexpected downtimes—ensuring your operations stay efficient, safe, and uninterrupted.

From surge protection to redundant power supplies, energy monitoring, and smart circuit breakers, Phoenix provide a comprehensive ecosystem that supports the vision of an All Electric Society.

Protection Concepts

Security of supply from a single source

State-of-the-art systems are scheduled to the second. If even just one component fails, the result is unwanted and sometimes even costly downtime. Surge voltages, mains interruptions, or fluctuations as well as an overload or short circuit can severely impact the availability of your system. To prevent damage to machines and systems, it is extremely important that electrical energy data is monitored and reliable supply is ensured.

Surge Protection & Lightning Protection

Protect your systems and electrical devices against excessively high voltage peaks caused by switching operations and lightning strikes. Plan your protection for lightning and surge protection so that all cables, devices and systems are protected.

The protected circuit principle is easy to illustrate: Draw an imaginary circle around the object you wany to protect. Surge protection devices must be installed at all points where cables intersect this circle. This ensures that the area within the protective circuit is protected in such a way that conducted surge voltages are prevented.

An effective protective circuit helps ensure seamless surge protection.

Protection against mains interruptions

AC/DC power supplies, DC/DC converters, redundancy modules and uninterruptable power supplies (UPS) enable you to supply your application reliably. Choose the ideal power supply that meets your needs from the wide range of different product families Phoenix Contact have to offer.

Additionally DC/DC converters and DC/AC inverters are available for your voltage conversion needs. paired with the Phoenix redundancy modules enables you to decouple two power supplies and ensure the high availability and productivity of your system.

During mains interruptions you can rely on a range of uninterruptable power supplies (UPS) and their corresponding battery modules avoiding any risk of unplanned system downtime. In addition, energy measuring devices with the appropriate sensor technology enable you to record energy flows in detail and assess the grid quality.

Protection against overload and short circuit

Device circuit breakers protect your equipment against overload and short-circuit currents. In the event of a fault only the affected circuit is switched off. To provide the ideal protection Phoenix circuit breakers use various technologies:

Thermal device circuit breakers for overload protection
Thermal-magnet circuit breakers for overload & short circuit protection
Electronic circuit breakers for protection in the event of overload, short circuit, line attenuation, and high input capacitance.

With high quality and coordinated components high system availability is ensured. Phoenix devices feature a long service life so using them will help you reduce your overall costs.

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 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.
