Weidmüller 1478170000 PRO MAX3 120W 24V 5A Three-Phase Power Supply
The Weidmüller 1478170000 PRO MAX3 120W 24V 5A is a compact industrial power supply designed to convert three-phase AC input into a stable 24 V DC output for automation equipment. Although it offers a modest output capacity of 120 W, this model is intended for industrial environments where reliable DC voltage, efficient cabinet utilization, and dependable operation are more important than supplying large electrical loads. Emaconn can provide current pricing, stock availability, delivery information, and technical assistance for customers selecting this model for new or existing automation projects.
Optimized for Compact Three-Phase Control Cabinets
Not every automation system requires a high-output power supply. Smaller PLC stations, remote I/O panels, communication cabinets, monitoring systems, and machine subassemblies often benefit from a compact DC power source that occupies minimal DIN rail space while providing consistent output performance.
The Weidmüller 1478170000 delivers a regulated 24 V DC output with a rated current of 5 A, making it suitable for applications where power demand remains moderate but operational reliability remains essential throughout continuous production.
Typical Industrial Applications
This model may be considered for industrial systems that require dependable DC power without the higher capacity of larger power supplies. Typical applications include:
- PLC control stations
- Industrial communication cabinets
- Remote I/O systems
- Sensor distribution panels
- Small machine control systems
- Process monitoring equipment
- Factory automation subsystems
- Instrumentation panels
- OEM machine assemblies
Its output capacity is well suited for powering controllers, communication modules, interface relays, signal converters, and similar low-to-medium power automation devices.
Selecting the Appropriate Output Capacity
When selecting a power supply, engineers should evaluate the combined current consumption of all connected devices rather than relying solely on the rated output current. Future expansion, startup characteristics, communication equipment, and temporary load variations should also be considered during system design.
Using an oversized power supply is not always the most efficient engineering approach. Choosing a model that closely matches the application’s actual electrical demand can simplify panel layouts, reduce unused capacity, and improve overall system optimization.
Integration Within Industrial Automation Systems
The Weidmüller 1478170000 can be integrated into automation cabinets supporting PLC controllers, industrial Ethernet devices, distributed I/O modules, HMI terminals, measurement equipment, safety interfaces, and other 24 V DC components operating within its electrical capacity.
During system integration, designers should verify cable sizing, protection devices, voltage drop calculations, enclosure ventilation, and available installation space to ensure reliable long-term operation.
Installation Considerations
Correct installation begins with proper DIN rail mounting and sufficient clearance for natural cooling. Electrical wiring should follow applicable industrial standards, while conductor cross-sections and protective components should be selected according to the expected operating current.
Routine maintenance generally includes inspection of terminal connections, ventilation openings, operating temperature, and overall cabinet condition. Periodic inspection helps maintain reliable power delivery throughout the service life of the automation system.
