Application Summary
Electromagnet Power Supply Units, Powering and Controlling of DC electromagnets

The MAGQUIP range of Combo Power Supply (PSU) Control Panels are our in-house developed DC electromagnet power supply unit with dry type transformer rectifier, also housing the control gear in a single split ELV enclosure.  

The Combo control and PSU panel can be used for any DC electromagnet brand, however the use of a dry type transformer is a smart choice for our POWERSMART range of dry type Self Air Cooled electromagnets.  

By combining the traditional stand-alone Transformer Rectifier and Control Panel, the Magquip Combo Panel is an innovative product which has many improvements and advantages over the traditional equipment. The Combo Panel has a Local and Remote-Control Mode which makes it well suited for modern installations with DCS and PLC systems or even less modern systems where only Local Control is required. The Combo Panel requires a single electrical feed and has the necessary controls and protection built in to control the Belt Motor and Magnet and provide feedback to Plant Operator and Control System. 

The MAGQUIP Combo Panel is a Low Voltage (<1000V) IP65 Sheet Metal Enclosure constructed of powder coated Mild or Stainless Steel. It consists of three partitioned compartments, the Main Partition contains the Mains Circuit i.e. 400VAC/525VAC 3Ph Switchgear, the second partition contains the DC Circuit (Transformer Rectifier) and the third partition contains the Control Circuit (24VDC / 110AC / 220VAC). 

The Combo Panel is suited for both Manual and Self-Cleaning Electromagnets with 1 – 20 kW DC output. 

The Magquip Combo Control & PSU Panel has two modes of operation. 

  1. Local Control (default)
    • Control by means of Door mounted pushbuttons.
  2. Remote Control
    • Control by means of digital inputs into the panel which activates a relay and disables the Local Start functions. 
    • Start & Stop control of Magnet and Belt Motor by means of digital inputs.
