System availability at the highest level

Increasing demand for high quality and efficiency in production is leading to the construction of increasingly complex systems . At the same time , the requirements for safety and availability are increasing because the failure of one machine or major system parts can result in significant costs . Having a well-planned safety concept for the individual circuits and end devices throughout the entire system is a significant contribution toward operational safety . This also includes selection of a sufficiently powerful power supply and suitable protective devices .
Selective power distribution
Equipment should be selectively protected with fuses wherever possible . This means that only those circuits that are actually affected by an overload are de-energizing . Read on to learn more about how protective devices work and which applications the various versions are suitable for .
