I have been looking around for a couple hours and I cant really find a decent 12Vdc 30A din rail psu. I am located in canada but can buy from usa stores. Do any of you know a manifacturer that makes that spec?

Thanks in advance

Whoops, you said DIN mount, my bad. :-[

Google returns a few hits ... however why do you need 30A and what input voltage ?

Not likely to be cheap
!

We are running a robotics competition. The whole field is controlled by a plc which runs at 12V and 20 sensors that run at 12V. There are also around 20 led lights running on 12V. We need the power but everything is 12V.

Hi.

I don´t think that was what hammy was asking for.
You´re in Canada, so your power grid is 120 volts, right ?

I'd go for one or multiple 120 - 12 volt power supplies, something like this :

And mount it using one of these:

Both are products of MEAN WELL, an OK brand of power supplies (meaning they're not known to be top of the bill, but they'll certainly do the job)

I found the pictures by entering keywords in Google, like:

power supply 12 volt 30A meanwell

Mains SMPS are multi-voltage normally, typically designed for 110 to 240V and 50 to 60Hz, so compatible
with most territories. MeanWell is a reasonable brand from what I've heard, ie use SI amperes rather than
eBay chinese amps :slight_smile:

Note the need for ventilation for cooling - you haven't mentioned if the DINrail is enclosed.
