1– 4 Tensions :

- La tension de service en courant normal est de 38O V triphasé, avec neutre distribué.

- Le circuit de commande puissance sera en 24 VDC ou 24 VAC

- Dans certains cas, des appareils de contrôle ou de régulation ayant besoin d’une alimentation en 220 V, il sera créé un circuit 220 V à travers un transformateur de séparation de circuits.

- La tension de service d’un automate sera en 220 V ondulé (courant stabilisé Dior).

- La tension de commande des entrées Automate sera en 24 VDC.
