Aimtecs 20 Watt DC/DC Converters reach 50 W/in³ Power Density

The AM20C(W)-Z series 20 watt DC/DC power supplies from Aimtec, now available at MSC Vertriebs GmbH, feature a ultra compact 1” x 1” x 0.39” package resulting in the very high power density of 50 W/in³ (3,05 W/cm³). They provide a real estate saving of up to 50% compared to standard 20 W converters in the market.

The AM20C-Z series is available with 2:1 input voltages of 9~18 V, 18~36 V and 36~75 V, while the AM20CW-Z series features ultra-wide 4:1 input ranges of 9~36 V and 18~75 V for use in a large range of industrial, commercial, residential and IT applications. Highly regulated single and dual output voltages of 3.3, 5, 12 and 15 VDC are precisely controlled with a tight load regulation of ±0.5% for the single output models and ±1% for the dual output models, with no minimum load required.

With an I/O isolation of 1600 VDC, these robust converters additional output protections include continuous short circuit protection with auto-recovery restart, over current and over voltage protection with a strict line regulation of ±0.2%.

Both the AM20C-Z and the AM20CW-Z are designed to operate within a wide industrial operating temperature range of -40 °C to +75 °C, which is essential for ensuring reliable product performance in the extreme weather conditions associated with outdoor applications. Positive logic remote ON/OFF functionality adds value for portable power applications by helping to conserve the devices precious battery power.

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...

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...

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.
