Din Rail Mount Receptacles

Industrial electrical plugs and receptacles are specifically designed to handle higher currents and voltages used in harsh industrial environments. The use of safety features such as insulated and waterproofing sleeves, recessed sockets, blocking shutters on the sockets and sockets designed to accept plugs inserted at the correct orientation prevent serious accidents and injuries.
Din rails are metal rails that can be installed inside an enclosure to securely attach industrial and electrical components. For example: terminal blocks, power supplies, circuit breakers, etc. Din rails have conformed to a universal industry standard for widths and shapes of mounting hardware. Because of this, components can simply slide or snap into place on the rail without having to mount each one separately.
Receptacles (din rail mount) are designed to mount easily to a din rail and provide convenient plug-in surge protected power to an electrical enclosure that contains cord-connected equipment. It is important to use only UL listed receptacles. UL listed means that the product has been tested by the Underwriter Laboratories (UL) to meet nationally recognizes safety and sustainability standards. The product has been found to be free from reasonably foreseeable risk of fire and electric shock in a Division 2 environment (where ignitable concentrations are used). UL testing also verifies that the products are constructed correctly and that they can handle the amount of current assigned by the manufacturer.

Electrical current is the flow of charged particles, in the case of Alternating Current (AC) and Direct Current (DC), the flow of electrons. The main difference between AC and DC power is the direction of the electron flow. DC power current moves in one direction and is constant. On a graph, DC power looks like a straight line moving from left to right. AC power current changes constantly over time and can flow in both a positive and negative direction. On a graph, this current flow looks like a sine wave, going up and down, alternating between a positive and negative flow.
When power is generated, in almost all cases, it is in the form of AC power. AC power can be transmitted at very high voltages and lower current levels over long distances. The voltage levels generated with AC power can be easily changed up or down with the help of a transformer. Power that is provided to homes comes in the form of AC power, typically between 120 and 240 volts. Devices that use AC power are: lightbulbs, many types of heating elements and AC motors. However, some electrical devices are affected by alternating current and require a different type of power. DC power.
DC power is commonly used in more complex electrical circuits. More specifically, DC power will be used when electrical components require some type of microchip or processor. DC power is also used in many other applications such as charging batteries (which supply DC power), many lower voltage applications and DC motors.
