Keep electrical systems running smoothly with supplies like wiring connectors, wireways, conduit fittings and cable zip ties. Wire fuses and circuit breakers offer protection against electric fire hazards.
Power supplies change the voltage, current and frequency of
electrical energy to fit specific needs of electronic equipment. Some are
standalone devices, while others are integrated into the load appliance itself.
Wiring Supplies
For any wiring job you need a variety of electrical
supply store. These include wiring connectors, wireways, conduit
fittings and cable zip ties. Using these supplies properly will eliminate any potential
for fire hazards like electrical arcing and shock.
Another electrical supply you may use are terminal blocks or
bus bars. These are used to neatly splice your wiring into one spot. They look
similar to a bunch of jumpers but have some differences. For example, a
terminal block has individually isolated circuits that will not overlap without
the use of jumpers whereas bus bars handle one continuous circuit.
You also need fuses for high-amperage circuit protection.
You can choose from a range of sizes including mini, ATO and ATC fuses. You
might need maxi fuses which are much larger in size and clearly marked for easy
identification. These are a must-have when working on battery circuits. They
are commonly used with terminal fuse blocks to offer high amperage protection
for batteries.
Power Supplies
Essentially, power supplies convert the input of electric
current into the correct output of current, voltage or frequency. They can be
standard parts with fixed specifications or fully custom designs that are made
to the user's exact specifications for power, number of outputs and form
factor.
For example, an X-ray generator power supply can vary
filament current automatically to maintain constant beam current. It has a
compact enclosure, three outputs and an RS-232 remote control. It is used in
scanning electron microscopes.
Other power supply products include programmable logic
controllers and DIN rail mount power supplies. Distributors of these supplies
offer a variety of features such as LED status and monitor displays, analog
visual indicators and computer interface technology. Some models also feature
water cooling systems, reprogrammable controls, backup batteries and EMI
filtering. They can be used in industrial, datacom, telecommunication and test
& measurement applications. They accept an AC line input of up to 240VAC.
Switches & Controls
All electrical operations need a wide variety of switches
and controls. They are electromechanical devices that can break an electrical
circuit by interrupting or diverting electric current from one conductor to
another. Switches must be rated for the environment and type of equipment to
which they will be connected. Grayford Industrial works with a number of
manufacturers to supply state of the art products that help prevent unscheduled
downtimes and increase productivity for our clients.
A circuit breaker is an automatic device that can detect a
fault condition and, unlike a fuse, can be reset to resume normal operation.
Grayford Industrial provides this important safety component from a range of
global manufacturers.
You should be analyzing the value-added services that you
and your competitors provide on a regular basis. Worksheet #1 on this page can
help you organize the information that you need to identify your key
competitive strengths and weaknesses. Use it to develop an action plan for
establishing your business as the premier supplier of electrical supplies in
your market.
Cables & Cords
All electrical operations need a variety of power cable
items. This includes wire connectors, conduit fittings, cable zip ties and
more. These supplies help secure all electrical wirings and devices to
eliminate arcing and fire hazards. They also keep the operation running by
ensuring that power cords are not pinched between or underneath furniture.
Another key type of electrical
supply is a panel board. These are modular blocks that divide an
electrical power feed into subsidiary circuits and provide fuses or circuit
breakers in each one. They also feature a main switch in some models and
Residual-current devices in others.
To differentiate themselves from new channels of electrical
supply, distributors should excel in a package of value-added services. This
four-step approach, outlined in an excerpt from the forthcoming book and
training program by Electrical Wholesaling, will show you how to do just that.
Then, you will be able to beat out your competition in the electrical supply
market.
