Product Overview
Revision scope: These specifications describe 1768-PA3/A (Series A). Check the corresponding technical data before specifying another hardware series.
The Allen-Bradley 1768-PA3 is a CompactLogix Power Supply Module designed for industrial automation systems. This hardware unit supplies operating electrical power to CompactLogix 1768 controller assemblies. It integrates directly into the 1768 control architecture to energize connected processing modules. System builders utilize this power supply unit for dedicated CompactLogix industrial control racks.
Industrial facilities deploy the 1768-PA3 during control system installation, panel modernization, or hardware maintenance. The unit supports standard CompactLogix power distribution across the system backplane assembly. Observed hardware builds include the Series A production release, cataloged as 1768-PA3/A. Proper power supply selection maintains consistent operating voltage across the local 1768 system hardware.
