Total Frequency Control Limited announce the release of the innovative GPS disciplined OCXO module manufactured by RFX

Total Frequency Control Limited, have released the latest precision GPS controlled OCXO additional to their line of OCXO, TCXO and VCXO products.

The PT626 - 1000 - GPS has been designed to ensure extreme accuracy derived from satellite GPS control and the inherent accuracy of its internal precision OCXO. Frequency correction signals are applied to the internal OCXO providing accuracy approaching 10-12, one thousandth part per billion, and rivaling a Caesium standard at a fraction of the cost.

Managing Director Edward Mills says: "This is a huge achievement in the development of GPS stabilisation for precision quartz oscillators and puts RFX at the forefront of this important sector. The miniature size of the unit makes it attractive for all new OEM designs and the obvious replacement for many base station oscillators where the improved accuracy will enhance functionality and performance."

This product has been designed for use in Base Stations, Wireless Networks, System Synchronisation systems, Instrumentation, Critical timing and Calibration applications.

In the event of the GPS signal being temporarily lost the PT626 - 1000 - GPS retains it previously acquired control settings and accuracy through the internal precision OCXO.

Specific features include:
  • Package: (2.25 x 1.5 x 0.5)"
  • 1pps LVCMOS: output 1
  • r.f. Sine wave 10.0MHz: output 2
  • Long term stability 1 x 10-12
  • Short term stability 1 x 10-11
  • Excellent phase noise
  • Low ageing
RFX manufacture a complete range of precision oscillators from 1MHz to 2.4GHz including TCXO, VCXO, PLL and GPS modules.

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.
