Power Supplies Meet Security System Requirements

Ecopac Power has launched the SCP-35, SCP-50 and SCP-75 series of Mean Well AC/DC enclosed power products, which are designed specifically the security industry. Featuring energy saving and constant voltage output, these power supplies provide battery charging as well as a direct AC/DC supply. The Mean Well SCP-series has been designed to meet all the requirements of security systems from access control, alarm systems and any application that requires battery backup.

In addition, the SCP series may improve working efficiency by up to 12 per cent and is designed with low 'no load power consumption' of less than 0.75W. The SCP-series offers a full universal input of 85-264V AC and up to 86 per cent efficiency; they will operate up to 60C of high ambient temperature with only free air convection. In a change from the normal design of enclosed power supplies, the SCP-series is supplied with both terminal blocks and wires for output connection, thus providing greater flexibility for installation engineers.

Additional functions include battery voltage detection, battery temperature compensation (by external NTC thermistor), battery polarity protection (by fuse), as well as protections for short circuit, overload and over voltage. The Mean Well SCP-series complies with worldwide safety certificates UL, CUL, CB and CE, and has been designed for applications such as security systems, access control systems, emergency lighting, alarm systems and central monitoring systems.

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.
