TDK-Lambda To Show Power Supplies And Converters

TDK-Lambda UK will showcase a range of new AC/DC power supplies and DC/DC converter products at this year's Southern Manufacturing and Electronics exhibition. At the event, which will take place at the Five venue in Farnborough on 10-11 February, application engineers will be on hand to provide consultations, technical expertise and application know-how for power design needs.

On display on Stand C37 will be the new LD Series of light-emitting-diode (LED) power supplies. Developed for both indoor and outdoor LED lighting applications that require a robust design and a long design life, TDK-Lambda's LD Series is IP66 rated and accepts a wide universal AC input. The first products in the range are rated at 12W; the LDV12 Series provides a constant voltage of 12V, 15V and 24V and the LDC12 Series offers constant currents of 350mA and 700mA.

The company's IPS Series of IP67-rated single-output power supplies is available in 50W, 75W and 100W nominal ratings. These units are designed to power equipment in hazardous and hostile industrial environments. Certified to ATEX Directive 94/9/EC and IEC60079-0, -15 standards, these power supplies are suitable for Protection Class II 2G Ex mb T4 environments for end equipment where a potentially explosive atmosphere is occasionally present.

Other demanding applications include in-machine and factory-floor installations, wash-down environments and more robust outdoor applications such as motorway matrix signs and renewable-energy control circuits. TDK-Lambda's Custom Power Solutions brochure profiles the company's custom power solutions and capabilities across the Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) region, ranging from full bespoke designs, modified standards and brick-on-board products.

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.
