Narrow power supply with high power density
February 2023, Electrical Power & Protection, Phoenix Contact

The devices are particularly suitable for urban infrastructure and in machine building, where they find their way into small systems with basic requirements.

Lower maintenance costs with online condition monitoring
October 2022, Editor's Choice, Phoenix Contact

Maintenance costs are reduced because inspections can be performed via remote access rather than locally, and the maintenance schedules can be event-based rather than time-based.

Terminal blocks for building installations
September 2022, Enclosures, Cabling & Connectors, Phoenix Contact

The disconnect slide of the PTI terminal blocks easily disconnects the terminals from the neutral conductor, enabling a quick dielectric test.

Failsafe networking of photovoltaic systems
Technews Industry Guide: Sustainable Manufacturing 2022, Electrical Power & Protection, Phoenix Contact

Zebotec’s large free-standing systems come with their own challenges, but for its floating power stations on bodies of water, wireless Ethernet networking is the only sensible solution.
