Hello all,
I'm surprised how hard it is to find a USB outlet for industrial panels. I've found several small compact converters (I think aimed at vehicles) that give out the correct voltage and low cost but not DIN rail mounted. I was looking for a 24 VDC power supply with a USB (or 3) ports on...
Hi
Trying to sort an argument here, am I right in saying that ALL work including altering existing circuits in commercial and industrial installations requires SPD protection unless a risk assessment is completed.
The only exception would be a direct replacement for maintenance purposes?
Thanks
