Creates space in the switch cabinet
Switch cabinets for the 24 V (DC) supply require a lot of space due to the components installed and the space required to cool the modules. E-T-A therefore offers a space-saving solution for power supply, overcurrent protection and power distribution.

Transparency through web server and fieldbus connection
The CPC12 bus controller from E-T-A has a separate 24 V (DC) power supply and thus enables an independent supply to the circuit breakers and records all status information and measured values.

Stumbling blocks with direct current
The question "direct current or alternating current?" is becoming increasingly important - not least due to the increasing use of renewable energy sources that generate direct current. When switching and protecting with direct current, however, there are a few subtleties to consider.

The intelligent load protection
The 24 V (DC) power supply in a process plant in its 'classic' form is neither particularly intelligent nor communicative. Power distribution paired with intelligent load protection should change this.
