IMO All-in-one Controllers

IMO All-in-one Controllers

As microprocessor technology moves forward, it is a logical step to rationalise hardware and condense many traditional control components down into a single, compact unit. Other than saving space, the benefits of an integrated solution include reduction of overall power consumption and reduction of application development time, whilst also allowing customers to standardise to a single controller to fit most of their applications.

 

 

 

Littelfuse SPD2 1P+0 Series Surge Protection

Littelfuse SPD2 1P+0 Series Surge Protection

The SPD2 1P+0 series is a surge protection device that safeguards components from transient overvoltage or surges that last micro-seconds by limiting the fault current to a load or the unit being protected. The majority of surges are caused by equipment being turned on or off within a facility. By limiting these surges, costly damage, downtime, repairs, and missed deadlines can be mitigated. The surge protection devices for the 1+0 configuration are available for 60 V to 600 V nominal voltage sub-distribution board applications.
