Model C2195A - PTS 12V or 24V 140W Solar Regulator/Power Supply

The Powerterm PTS is a combined Solar Regulator and Power Supply system with integrated standby battery management for small solar powered applications. Just connect a solar panel, sealed lead acid battery and load for an industrial grade solar powered system. This DIN rail mounted product is ideal for providing dc power to Teleterm M2-series RTU systems when mains power is not available.

Applications include RTU’s, data-loggers, remote monitoring, and alarm systems. In the event of complete discharge of the battery, an under-voltage cut-out disconnects the load preventing the battery entering its “deep” discharge phase, which can cause irreparable damage to the battery, and reduce its capacity and life. Batteries are capable of delivering very large currents under system fault conditions that can damage wiring and equipment.

The PTS incorporates an auto-resettable load cut-out, which disconnects the load under over-current fault condition. The PTS controls the charging of the battery to ensure optimum life. When the battery is fully charged, the PTS will disconnect the solar panel to prevent overcharging. The PTS provides a Charge detect output. When the solar panel is connected and charging, this output is on. This output can be used to detect solar panel or charger failure, or to measure actual charging hours. The PTS can be used in 12V or 24V applications.

The PTS can be switched to the correct battery voltage and adjusts the solar regulator and low voltage cut-out accordingly. In outdoor environments, the ideal battery voltage will vary with temperature. The PTS has a temperature sensor that compensates for changes in ambient temperature to keep the battery at its optimum.

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.
