AutomationDirect Logo Power Products Frequently Asked Questions


Question Do the PS series power supplies have an isolated ground or is the negative leg of the output tied to ground either directly or indirectly by a passive or active component?
Answer The output is isolated from the input and the -Vout is floating. The only connections to PE are the ones made by equipping the Y-Caps from Neutral to PE, Live to PE, -Vout to PE and +Vout to PE. These capacitors are used to meet the EMC emission standards.
