ZMDI and Murata Power Solutions Announce Cooperation for Smart Digital Point-of-Load Solutions Chipset for Rapid Development of Smart Power Management Solutions

ZMD AG (ZMDI), a global supplier of energy-efficient analog and mixed-signal solutions for information technology applications, and Murata Power Solutions, the world’s leading supplier of board mount power, today announced a cooperation on smart digital point-of-load solutions for power management.

Murata Power Solution’s single-phase surface-mount power blocks, combined with ZMDI’s ZSMP1000 single-phase digital PWM controller for non-isolated DC/DC supplies, enable fast and flexible design of smart digital POL systems.  The resulting systems have the high power density required for space-sensitive applications such as servers, storage units and FPGA boards.

“This cooperation is a strategic fit. Murata Power Solution’s highly reliable power block in combination with the ultra compact digital PoL controller from ZMDI offer today’s power designers the small and easy-to-use digital power management solutions they require,” says Henry Lee, Marketing Manager at Murata Power Solutions.

“The cooperation with Murata allows us to provide designers with easy-to-use solutions for a variety of applications, ranging from servers, storage and network equipment to communication equipment, industrial transportation and process control,” says Bernhard Huber, Business Line Manager for standard components at ZMDI.

ZMDI’s single-phase, true digital POL controller, and Murata Power Solution’s latest single-phase surface-mount power blocks with 25A and 35A output current ratings will be demonstrated at the Darnell Power Forum in San Jose, CA, September 26-28, 2011. A variety of solutions with output currents up to 45A are planned to become available on the market later this year.

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.
