Mean Well Inverters for Use with Home Appliances

Mean Well has developed a range of inverters and solar inverters for use with home appliances, power tools, office and portable equipment, motor vehicles and marine applications. They allow users to take power from a 12 or 24V battery source and convert to 230V AC power in the most efficient fashion. The latest addition to Mean Well's inverter and solar inverter range is the TN-3000. The TN-3000 is a 3,000W true sine wave inverter and has a built-in AC charger and solar charger.

The TN-3000 recharges the external battery banks by AC mains input or, for real cost savings and energy efficiencies, via solar panels. The TN-3000 then transforms this input to AC output via its inverter stage. These inverters are built to provide high-surge power protections when used with motor-start applications. This configuration for a high-power Mean Well inverter allows customers to provide an energy-saving standalone electric power source by only adding external lead-acid batteries and solar panels.

Two operating modes allow users to configure the most optimal application. Under the UPS Mode, the AC mains input can charge the batteries and provide power to the output device, just like the normal operation of a UPS system. In the event of mains power failure, the batteries can then supply current to the TN-3000. With solar panels connected, the user can opt for 'Energy Saving Mode'. This allows the solar energy to charge the batteries and current can then be converted by the inverter. Mean Well inverters and solar inverters are available with true sine wave or modified sine wave, from 100 to 3,000W models.

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.
