Preventative diagnostics
04 February 2016
Murrelektronik's Emparro 3-phase power supplies allow users to create a power management system to match individual needs. They are reported to be remarkably reliable and extraordinarily efficient. The newest addition to the Emparro 3~ family is a 40A model that also has a preventative diagnostic function.
This function notifies the user when the time has come to replace the power supply. The notification is given just in time: not too early to ensure a long operating time, but not too late, avoiding lengthy troubleshooting time and cost-intensive failures.
When the signal is given, no immediate action is required. Replacement can take place during the machine’s next regularly scheduled maintenance. This puts the focus on action rather than reaction.
The preventive diagnostic function is made possible because the unit monitors several different parameters including inner temperature, operational load, the number of start-ups and the components' life. When the optimum time to replace Emparro 3~ 40 A is reached, this information is forwarded to the control via an easy-to-integrate alarm contact.
