G-Solar Fuses in Schurter's ASO Series Meet Photovoltaic Standards IEC 60269-6 and UL 2579

25.01.2021 | Schurter's ASO series solar fus­es, com­pli­ant with the IEC 60269-6 and UL 2579 stan­dards, are designed to pro­tect pho­to­volta­ic sys­tems. The volt­ages in such sys­tems are boost­ed to keep the pow­er dis­si­pa­tion in long cir­cuit paths to a min­i­mum. The fus­es ensure safe inter­rupt even at demand­ing volt­age lev­els, where­as stan­dard fus­es are not intend­ed for com­plete pro­tec­tion of pho­to­volta­ic sys­tems.  continue

Ekulits Ultra-slim Piezo Fan: Silent, Space-saving and Power-saving

19.01.2021 | Schukat is extend­ing its prod­uct range with the UPF-76Q-220 piezo fan from Ekulit. These piezo ele­ments use the inverse piezo­elec­tric effect, i.e. apply­ing an elec­tri­cal volt­age gen­er­ates a change in length in the piezo­elec­tric mate­r­i­al. The effect con­verts elec­tri­cal ener­gy into mechan­i­cal ener­gy. The ultra flat piezo fan UPF-76Q-220 from Ekulit con­sists of a piezo­ce­ram­ic sur­face and a plas­tic platelet, which is made to oscil­late.  continue

PCB Power Relays for Medium DC Loads: AZDC110 Series from Zettler

17.11.2020 | Switch­ing larg­er DC volt­ages caus­es elec­tric arcs to occur, con­sid­er­ably reduc­ing the life of the relay. This is par­tic­u­lar­ly prob­lem­at­ic when switch­ing off, because if enough ener­gy is avail­able the arc does not extin­guish but remains in place, which in some cir­cum­stances can cause the relay to burn. Spe­cial mea­sures must be tak­en to pre­vent this:  continue
