NMB Introduces a New Standard in LED Programmable Dimmable Drivers

Designed with a programmable function, NMB's new LED driver offers high efficiency, 10W to 20W power rating, and a 0 to 10W voltage dimming function. The programming function presents the unique opportunity to program a wide range of output current with just a few models, while the old standard in driver design requires up to 10 models to cover the same output current range. A New "standard" is now available from NMB.

Satisfying market requirements for a single driver that would cover a wide range of output current and voltages, NMB introduces a new series of LED dimmable and programmable drivers sure to become the standard of the industry. This new CLSD Series of LED drivers has been designed with the unique capability to program a wide range of output current with just a few models, while the rest of the available drivers in the market require up to 10 models to cover the same range.

The flexible nature of NMB's CLSD Series design platform facilitates rapid modification for customer specific applications. Output current levels can be preset by the system designer or adjusted as the application develops. The complete LED programmable driver set up is available from NMB's web site. With an easy to use 4-pin connector programming box and USB adapter cable, this programming utility will recognize the NMB driver model and it will display the optimized factory setting. The user can now change the settings for the output current that will be most beneficial for his application. The user also has the ability to utilize the same programming kit to program as many drivers as necessary to satisfy his lighting design.

Offered as an off the shelf, easy to use standard driver design, this new CLSD Series includes a 0-10V low voltage dimming function, as well as comprehensive protection against short-circuit, overvoltage, overload and over temperature. With ingress protection rating that meets IP66 specifications; these new NMB programmable LED drivers are the perfect solution for applications where dust or environmental moisture is a concern.

The new series of programmable LED drivers are offered in low current, 10W ~ 20W, with an efficiency rate at full load of 85%, and are designed to support system life requirements greater than 130,000 hours. Both the LED driver and the Programming Kit are available right now directly from Digi-Key and Newark.

This new NMB Lighting series is a simple and elegant design solution to the many requirements that the LED market continues to demand.

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.
