TDK-Lambda Introduces the Z+ Series Power Supplies Featuring the World's Highest Power Density

TDK-Lambda Corporation (President : Yoshiaki Hirota, Head Office : Nihonbashi, Chuoku, Tokyo), a group company of TDK Corporation, has developed the Z+(plus) series ultra compact, CVCC programmable power supplies with the world's highest power density. The Z+ product family, consisting of 200W, 400W, 600W and 800W types, can meet a wide range of customer requirements. Order taking for 400W will commence on March 1. Other models will be available shortly after.

While much attention is paid to new energy businesses, development of related technologies and production of new products is advancing at a rapid pace. In addition, currency exchange rate is changing rapidly and globalization of production resulting from expansion of markets in emerging countries is accelerating. Especially, needs for globally compatible CVCC programmable power supplies are mounting in development laboratories and production floors of power charge related products that are expected to grow. As general manufacturing equipment and machine tools need to be faster, more versatile and require less foot print, power supplies for them also need to be smaller and higher in integration.

With the introduction of the new Z+ series (200W - 800W) and the EVA series (2,400W) released simultaneously with the Z+ series, added to the existing Genesys series (750W - 5,000W), TDK-Lambda's CVCC programmable power supply product family now consists of 3 series of standard power supplies that can meet a wide range of customer needs from low to high power applications. The new Z+ series is a successor model to the existing ZUP series.

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.
