CUI’s 300 W Ac-Dc Power Supplies Offer Outstanding Power Density of 12.5 W/in3 and Meet EN60601-1 3rd Edition for Medical Applications

CUI Inc announces the addition of a family of compact 300 W power supplies to its VMS ac-dc medical power portfolio. Offering exceptionally high power density of 12.5 W/in3, the space-saving power supplies are housed in three optional case styles, including a compact U-frame measuring 5 x 3.2 x 1.5 inches (127.00 x 81.28 x 38.1 mm) and an enclosed version with top or rear fan. The power supplies meet EN60601-1 3rd edition specifications for medical and dental applications, carry UL/cUL and TUV 60601-1 3rd edition safety certifications, and provide EN55022 class B EMI compliance. They feature 4k Vac reinforced input-to-output isolation and an output-to-ground isolation of 1500 Vac.

VMS-300 power supplies have a universal 90~264 Vac input for global operation and are available with single outputs from 12 to 48 Vdc or dual outputs of 5/12 Vdc and 12/24 Vdc. The power supplies are rated for operation at full load from 0° to 50°C ambient, derating to 50% load at 70 °C. They feature active PFC and protection for over voltage, over current, short circuit, and over temperature. Connections for remote on/off control and power good are included.

“Growing power demands and increasingly complex regulatory standards continue to present challenges for the designers of medical equipment,” said Kraig Kawada, VP of Product Management for CUI. “With the addition of the VMS-300 to our medical power supply portfolio, we continue to help our customers address the needs for smaller, more efficient medical power supplies that meet all of the necessary regulatory standards.”

The VMS-300 power supply is priced at $104.54 each in quantities of 250 units.

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.
