## In plain English

### What it does

A power supply turns incoming electrical power into the voltage and form needed by connected equipment.

### A simple example

In a switchgear control panel, an AC-to-DC power supply can provide DC power for relays, controller modules and indication circuits.

### What the drawings help you do

Use the selected manufacturer's drawings to check the equipment's size, mounting points and cable connections. The layout helps you plan where it fits and how it can be reached for maintenance. An illustrative 3D preview does not establish product dimensions or required clearances.

### Terms

- Voltage: The electrical potential difference between two points, measured in volts.
- Rating: A value stating the conditions for which equipment is specified.
- Schematic: A drawing showing function and connections rather than physical appearance.

## What it represents

Coordinate the compact supply with adjacent terminal blocks and wire duct. Leave access to the terminals even where the housing fits closely between devices.
The downloadable GA illustration is independently authored conceptual geometry, with no scale or manufacturer dimensions. Use the official CAD source for the exact layout.
Altech originals remain at the manufacturer source because their drawing notices restrict reproduction. Product lifecycle and availability have not been established.

## How to read it

- Use the shared housing drawing only after identifying the installed output-voltage variant.
- Compact mechanical fit does not establish permissible side-by-side thermal loading.

## Information to show or reference

- Record the full PS-C120 order code.
- Check rail attachment and terminal access.
- Verify cooling spacing and present availability.

## Important distinction

Compact mechanical fit does not establish permissible side-by-side thermal loading.
