The new current measuring transducers from the ECM UC product family from Phoenix Contact save users plenty of time with the intuitive device configuration via web-based management. The products measure direct, alternating, and distorted currents in four measuring ranges, starting from 0 to 100 mA through to max. 0 to 100 A, with a transmission error of <0.5%. Modbus versions enable the digital further processing of the measured data.
Phoenix Contact is introducing a PV panel-based housing solution with several performance classes up to 190 Wp. The POS (Pico Off-grid System) includes a water- and impact-protected plastic housing, a stainless steel pole mount, and a solar panel. Computers, communication units, batteries, and more can be added to create self-sufficient solutions for field use. With the robust housing that withstands extreme weather conditions and a stainless steel pole mount, this system is a reliable and durable solution for providing energy in remote areas and demanding environments. The self-sufficient PV system uses the energy of the sun for the power supply.
Carlo Gavazzi is excited to introduce the new RSGT Series Soft Starters, an easy-to-use product range for AC 3-phase induction motors up to 75Hp / 55kW. To maximize the ease of use without compromising performance, only three settings are required (FLC, ramp-up, ramp-down). The self-learning algorithm adjusts the soft starter’s parameters to work with different applications and varying load conditions. The integration of a Class 10 electronic overload provides advanced motor protection and results in further space savings in the electrical panel. Phase sequence protection, overload function, and dry run function can easily be enabled or disabled through the front located TEST/RESET push button.
XP Power has recently introduces the JMR03/10/20 series of 3W, 10W, and 20W ultra-compact, medically approved DC-DC converters that offer a wide 4:1 input ratio, making them suitable for various input requirements. These devices provide 2 x MOPP (Means of Patient Protection) with just 2µA leakage current, ensuring easy integration into both BF (Body Floating) and CF (Cardiac Floating) rated healthcare applications. One of the standout features of these devices is their low no-load input idle current (down to 4mA, depending on the model), which increases efficiency, reduces waste heat, and extends the runtime of battery-powered portable equipment.
