What is A Rugged Power Supply & Why Do I Need It?

What is A Rugged Power Supply?

 

A rugged power supply is essentially a durable power unit that can withstand challenging and harsh environments, often bringing power to places where the mains supply is unreliable or even unavailable.

They are designed and built with the ability to withstand extremes in altitude, temperature, shock and vibration – making them the best power solution for a wide range of industries.

 

Which Industries Need A Rugged Power Supply?

 

Rugged power supplies can be used in almost any industry, but there are some key industries that have the need for this type of power supply more than others.

 

Military

 

This industry has the majority need for rugged power supplies. Military organisations such as the Army or Navy need power for a variety of different purposes, from communications through to weapon use.

It’s essential their power supply can withstand the conditions in which it’s placed, which could be anywhere. The power supply may need to be waterproof, heat proof, dustproof. It will also need to be in a strong, but lightweight casing so it’s not damaged in transit.

 

Industrial

 

Manufacturing plants and industrial factories require a high level of power, and sometimes under some challenging conditions. These locations are generally warm places, typically because of the heat output from the machines involved in construction – they can also be humid or dusty, all of which are not suited to traditional power supply.
