Absopulse Expands RWY Series Of DC/DC Converters

The RWY 30 is a recent addition to Absopulse Electronics's RWY Series of DC/DC converters for low-power railway applications. This 30W unit is housed in an ultra-compact, lightweight, 57mm x 56mm x 147mm chassis. Full encapsulation in a thermally conductive MIL-specification silicon rubber compound ensures immunity to shock, vibration and moisture, according to the company.

The RWY 30 operates at full specification over a -40C to +70C cold-plate temperature range when installed on a heat-sinking surface. This rugged, low-power converter delivers single outputs or 12VDC or 24VDC and accepts single DC-input voltages of 24VDC, 36VDC, 48VDC, 72VDC, 96VDC or 110VDC with wide input ranges. Other input and output voltages are available on request.

The unit features full electronic protection and up to 90 per cent efficiency, depending on the input/output configuration. The RWY 30 meets the stringent requirements of EN 50155 for electronic equipment used on railway rolling stock. It also meets EN 55022 Class B EMI conducted and radiated with wide margins and is designed to meet IEC 61373 Categories 1 A and B and Category 2 shock and vibration standards.

What is Class I Division 2?

Image
A Class I Division 2 is a location: (1) In which volatile flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are handled, processed, or used, but in which the liquids, vapors, or gases will normally be confined within closed containers or closed systems from which they can escape only in case of accidental rupture or breakdown of such containers or systems or in case of abnormal operation of equipment, or (2) In which ignitable concentrations of flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are normally prevented by positive mechanical ventilation, and which might become hazardous through failure or abnormal operation of the ventilating equipment. Class I Division 2 Classification Class I Division 2 refers to the ANSI/ISA 12.12.01 standard. This standard was previously UL1604 until UL recommended the newer ANSI/ISA standard be used and that all hazardous location products be certified under this standa...

FUSE SIZING CONSIDERATIONS FOR HIGHER EFFICIENCY MOTORS

Image
When selecting the proper fuse for short circuit protection in motor starting applications, it is important to not only ensure that the fuse will not nuisance open during motor start up times, but also that the fuse will coordinate as required with overload relays. When sizing fuses between 125% and 150% of the motor nameplate current, several advantages, including ease of coordination with an overload device, a smaller disconnect, and increased short circuit protection from a lower fuse rating, can be achieved. However, if sizing at this level prevents the motor from starting, it may then be necessary to increase the fuse ampere rating and it then becomes important to know the NEC sizing limitations. As of June 1, 2016, the US Department of Energy has mandated that newly manufactured electric motors will need to meet NEMA Premium® efficiency standards. As motor efficiencies increase, motor locked rotor currents can also be expected to increase. In addition to this, with across-the-lin...

7/8 16UN Connectors that Provide 600 Volts and 15 Amps

TURCK announces new A-Size 3 and 4-pin 7/8 16UN powerfast™ connectors that provide up to 600 Volts and 15 Amps of power. These IP67 rated connectors provide a modular wiring system designed to handle high current applications for machine power distribution, while providing resistance to vibration commonly associated with conveyors, motors and material handling applications. The cordsets are available with a tray rated, exposed run PVC flexlife ® cable, with or without STOOW rating, and 14 AWG wires that allow you to replace hard wiring with a robust, quick disconnect system that saves the time and money spent installing a conduit system. The A-Size powerfast line offers male and female, straight connectors, standard and custom lengths, and pigtails or extensions. To make the system complete, fully encapsulated mating receptacles, with 1/2”-14 NPT mounting threads are available.
