A high quality and stable power supply is extremely important to ensure reliable operation of your Raspberry Pi. Most USB power supplies are designed to recharge mobile devices, and not for continuous 24/7 loads in harsh industrial environments.

Strato Pi accepts a wide power supply range and is able to effectively handle substantial amounts of ripple, noise and supply voltage fluctuations. The power supply stage is a heavily protected and filtered circuit, using oversized electrolytic capacitors, diodes and inductors, and a high efficiency voltage regulator.

The step-down converter is based on advanced, high-output-current PWM converter integrated circuits with low resistance MOSFET, with approximately 95% efficiency and up to 3A continuous output current. It includes over current limiting, over voltage protection and thermal shutdown.

The power supply stage is also protected from reverse polarity with resettable fuses. Surge protection up to ±500V/2ohms 1.2/50μs ensures reliability in harsh environments.
