Description
1. Product Description
The YOKOGAWA PW501 is a compact, modular power solution optimized for industrial environments. Its core functions include converting AC voltage (85–264V) to regulated DC outputs (5V, 12V, 24V, etc.), supporting devices such as PLCs, sensors, and communication systems. Key advantages include high efficiency (reducing energy loss), stable voltage regulation (immune to input fluctuations), and robust protection against overcurrent, overvoltage, and short circuits. The modular design simplifies installation and maintenance, making it ideal for diverse industrial setups.
