Optoisolator Delivers Up To 16kV Isolation At 2Mbd

Optek's new OPI1268 16kV high-voltage optical isolator, available via Pacer, delivers AC and DC voltage isolation up to 16kV while achieving digital data transmission rates of 2MBd. The OPI1268 UL-recognised high-voltage optoisolator is designed for power isolation in high-voltage PC board circuits in industrial electronics systems, medical electronic equipment and office machines.

The output IC detects the incoming optical signal and converts it to a proportionate current, which is fed through a high-gain linear amplifier and compensated for temperature, current and voltage, resulting in a stable digital output with an open collector inverter configuration. The OPI1268 optoisolator combines a high-efficiency gallium aluminium arsenide (GaAlAs) light-emitting diode (LED) with a peak wavelength of 850nm, optically coupled to a Photologic photodiode in the output IC.

Forward current (IF) is 10mA typical/50mA maximum, with typical propagation delays (tPHL-tPLH) less than or equal to 500ns. The creepage distance/air path is 0.970in (24.64mm) and the devices are UL recognised under file E58730. Packaged in an opaque high-dielectric plastic housing, the OPI1268 device measures 27.94 x 6.35 x 8.89mm and has a five-lead configuration (cathode, anode, Vcc, output and ground). The operating temperature range is from -40C to +100C. Data and samples are available now from Pacer.

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.
