XP Releases ECP40 Ultra-Low Profile Power Supplies

XP Power has introduced its ECP40 series of ultra-low profile compact open-frame 40W AC/DC power supplies for industrial or medical applications. Within the range, a total of 14 models are available, comprising single-, dual- and triple-output models. Measuring just 76.2 x 50.8 x 23.0mm for the single-output models and 88.9 x 50.8 x 26.0mm for the multi-output models, the low-profile units provide a high power density starting at 7.4W per cubic inch.

This power-density rating is the best in class compared with similar units in this power range. In addition, the ECP40 is efficient up to 90 per cent and has a no-load power consumption of less than 0.3W, helping designers to ensure their end equipment meets the stringent criteria required by leading energy-efficiency standards such as Energy Star and the EU's ErP directive. Single-output models provide all the popular output voltages from 5 to 48V DC.

Dual-output units offer combinations of 5V DC and 12, 15 or 24V DC outputs. Triple-output units add +12, -12 or -15V DC options. All models accommodate the wide universal input range of 85 - 264V AC. The ECP40 also features a peak-load capability that allows the power supply to deliver up to 130 per cent of rated power for a maximum of 30 seconds. This makes the series ideal for designs that require a high-power output for a short duration, such as starting a motor, without having to specify a higher rated, larger and more costly power supply.

Suiting most operating temperature environments, from -10C to +70C, the convection-cooled units require no additional heat sinking or forced air-flow, making them ideal for designs where space is at a premium. Full output power is available up to +50C. The ECP40 series meets medical-safety standard IEC60601-1 and the IEC60950 specification for IT and industrial equipment. The units also comply with the EN55022 level-B standard for both conducted and radiated emissions without the need for additional filtering components.

Overvoltage, overload and short-circuit protection features are included as standard across the whole range. The units are available from Farnell or direct from XP Power and come with a three-year warranty.

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.
