CUI Introduces 20~60 W High Efficiency Medical Power Supplies

CUI Inc announced an addition to its high density, high efficiency VMS medical power supply portfolio with the release of three new series ranging from 20 W to 60 W. The units are compact, with footprints measuring 2.38 x 1.60”, 3.00 x 2.00”, and 4.00 x 2.00” for the 20 W, 40 W, and 60 W models respectively. The VMS series is designed to be used in a wide variety of medical and dental applications, carrying UL/cUL and TUV 60601-1 safety certifications and EN55011 class B EMI compliance. Featuring no-load power draw of less than 0.5 W and efficiency up to 90%, the series is also designed for applications seeking to reduce stand-by and overall power consumption.

The VMS series offers universal input (90-264 Vac) and is available in 7 output voltage models ranging from 3.3 to 48 Vdc. The series can operate from 0° to 50° C at full load, derating linearly to 50% load at 70°C. Features of the VMS series include over-voltage and short circuit protections.

“The VMS-20, 40 and 60 series are the latest release in what will be a quickly expanding medical power portfolio for CUI,” stated Kraig Kawada, CUI’s Director of Product Management. “We intend to merge the latest in green power technology with the exacting design requirements of our medical customers to develop a range of cutting-edge products specifically for this rapidly growing field,” concluded Kawada. The VMS series is available immediately through Digi-Key with prices starting at $23 per unit for 100 pcs. Please contact CUI for OEM pricing.

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.
