POWER SUPPLY

Industrial power supplies for kiosks and self service applications

Reliable power is at the core of every kiosk, parcel locker and self service installation: if the power supply fails, the entire system becomes unstable. This category focuses on industrial switched mode power supplies, din rail mounted modules, external 12 V adapters for monitors and compact enclosed PSUs designed for continuous duty. Typical output voltages include 12 V, 19 V, 24 V and other common kiosk levels with multiple power ratings, so you can use the same family of products for low power controller modules and higher power PCs, displays or heated enclosures. Representative products include 24 V din rail power supplies for control cabinets, open frame ventilated PSUs for kiosk PCs, 12 V 5 A monitor adapters and mains input filter modules with switch and fuse.

Technology, protection features and mechanical design

Modern industrial power supplies use high efficiency switched mode topologies with active or passive power factor correction, wide input voltage ranges (typically 90–264 V AC) and multiple layers of protection. Outputs are usually protected against over current, over voltage and short circuit; many models also offer thermal protection and fan monitoring. In kiosk and automation environments low noise performance and EMC compliance are important so that power supplies do not interfere with barcode scanners, communication modules or touch controller boards.

Din rail power supplies provide neat mounting and easy wiring inside control cabinets, making them ideal for industrial panels and distribution boards. Compact enclosed PSUs fit into tight kiosk housings and behind monitors, while external adapters are easy to replace and often come with different DC plug options to power monitors, networking devices and auxiliary modules. On the mains side, integrated filter and inlet modules with switch and fuse offer a clean, modular solution for 230 V feed-in and help reduce conducted interference on the power line.

Quality, local technical support and operational aspects

Because power supplies directly affect system availability, it is worth investing in industrial, well documented units backed by local technical support and a robust logistics concept.

• local technical support in Hungary to help you choose the right voltage, power margin, cooling concept and form factor for kiosks, parcel lockers and industrial cabinets;
• regular maintenance including inspection of connectors, ventilation, fans, filters and temperature to ensure long term stability in 24/7 operation;
• adhering to recommended operating conditions such as ambient temperature, humidity, airflow and contamination limits, especially for outdoor or semi outdoor kiosks;
• maintaining stock of critical PSU types and organising scheduled deliveries for network rollouts or planned retrofit projects;
• flexible logistics with multiple shipping options, customs handling and freight forwarding when power supplies have to be delivered to several sites or cross border projects;
• commercial flexibility including post payment terms, invoicing in foreign currencies and project based pricing so that you can plan total lifecycle cost instead of focusing only on purchase price.

FAQ – power supplies in kiosk and automation projects

• How do industrial power supplies differ from office grade units?
     Industrial PSUs are designed for extended temperature ranges, continuous 24/7 operation and higher reliability. They use more robust components, improved cooling and detailed protection features, which are essential in kiosks and unattended machines.
• When should you choose a din rail power supply?
     Din rail PSUs are ideal when your kiosk or parcel locker includes a dedicated control cabinet and you want tidy wiring with all control devices mounted on the same rail. This makes installation and servicing faster and more transparent.
• How much power margin should you plan for a PSU?
     A common guideline is to size the PSU with at least 20–30% headroom above the expected continuous load. This helps avoid overheating, extends service life and provides reserve for future upgrades or temporary load peaks.
• Why is local technical support important when selecting power supplies?
     Local experts understand typical kiosk modules, failure modes and environmental conditions. They can recommend PSUs that fit both electrically and mechanically and ensure that spare parts and replacements are available quickly when needed.
