Overview

The VE5008 Dual Power Supply is part of Emerson’s DeltaV™ S‑Series hardware platform. It delivers redundant 24 V DC power to DeltaV systems, ensuring continuous operation even if one supply fails. This redundancy is essential in industries such as oil & gas, chemical, and power generation, where downtime can be costly.

The VE5008 is hot‑swappable, allowing replacement without system shutdown, and features automatic load sharing between the two supplies to extend service life and improve efficiency.
