Power GE Introduces TLE Series UPS Platform with High Output Power GE has introduced its TLE series UPS platform. The TLE series transformer-less, three-phase UPS applies GE’s technology to provide facilities with operating efficiencies up to 97 percent efficiency in double-conversion mode and up to 99 percent in eBoost, also known as multi-mode operation. By operating at high efficiencies, the TLE platform helps lower system operating expenses and power usage effectiveness (PUE). In addition, the TLE series delivers clean power quality including low-input harmonics, high-input power factor and low-output voltage distortion, to the critical loads. GE’s TLE series provides facilities such as data centers, healthcare facilities and financial institutions with a broad range of doubleconversion output power, ranging up to 1.5 megawatts (MW) in a single module. The TLE series is offered in both UL and CE versions. The CE version spans up to 1.2 MW, while the UL version ranges up to 1.5 MW. The TLE series UPS’ multi-mode technology provides life cycle energy cost savings in both double-conversion and eBoost operating mode. Equipped with a TLE UPS and operating in double-conversion mode with 97 percent efficiency, a typical large, enterpriseclass data center with a 5 MW critical load can realize life cycle operating expense savings up to $2 million when compared to a typical double-conversion, 93 percent efficient UPS due to its reduced energy costs. In eBoost operating mode, the TLE provides additional energy cost reductions and provides up to $3.5 million in life cycle operating expense savings. GE’s Redundant Parallel Architecture (RPA) provides the TLE series with the ability to connect up to six TLE modules together for high-capacity system redundancy and higher reliability. The RPA system eliminates single points of failure, ensuring the load is protected in the event a single UPS module is out of service. DP800 Series DC Power Supplies Offer System Monitoring and Analysis Capabilities Rigol Technologies, Inc. has introduced the latest in its line of DC power supplies, the DP800 series. Featuring monitoring, analysis and control capabilities, the DP800 series delivers a combination of high performance and low cost. The DP800 series are three channel power supplies capable of delivering up to 195 watts and can float up to 240 V from ground, making it possible to configure a wide variety of high voltage signals with only a few instruments. Rigol’s DP800 series DC power supplies combine accurate control, monitoring and analysis of voltage, current and power with multi-instrument triggering capability. The result is true system level power delivery and analysis at the cost of many traditional basic power supplies. The DP800 series also offers several advanced features such as timer control that allows the engineer to set burn-in or other test voltage or current profiles to run automatically for hours and is repeatable with groups, cycle counts and specified end states. Ad22 ditionally, there are several features for circuit protection including OVP, OCP and OTC (over voltage, over current and over temperature protection). Other features include a monitor function for tests that require real-time alarms, warnings or shut off capabilities. Engineers can use the on screen waveform display for real-time feedback to graphically depict critical changes in voltage, current or power. Additionally, a new trigger I/O bus offers the ability to synchronize features across multiple instruments for testing of complex systems with multiple power requirements. DP800 DC power supplies are fully configurable via front panel controls without the need for writing code. For testing that requires real-time PC decision-making, the DP800 series is equipped with LXI (Ethernet for instruments) as well as USB. For legacy systems or applications, RS-232 is available and GPIB can be accessed through an optional attachment. ProTek Devices Introduces First Family of Overcurrent Electronics Chip Fuses ProTek Devices has introduced a family of overcurrent electronics chip fuses. Now, the company can provide electronics design manufacturers (EDM) with a single source for advanced and cost-effective circuit protection solutions. The overcurrent chip fuses cover a plethora of applications such as telecommunications, computing, consumer electronics and more. The surface mount device (SMD) overcurrent chip fuses consist of a variety of types and sizes. The part numbers for the 0603 package are PF0603F, PF0603S and PF0603H. The PF0603F is a fast-acting chip fuse. The PF0603S is a slow-blow chip fuse, and the PF0603H is a high inrush chip fuse. The 1206 part numbers are PF1206F, PF1206S and PF1206H. The PF1206F is a fast-acting chip fuse. The PF1206S is a slow-blow chip fuse, and the PF1206H is a high inrush chip fuse. IEC Outlet with IDC Terminals Speeds Assembly For Power Distribution Schurter’s 6610 appliance outlet is available with IDC terminals for 14 AWG in addition to the existing version for 12 AWG. The option allows for smaller diameter wire and thus less costly wiring in lighter duty applications. The series 6610 is well suited for use in power distribution units and other equipment where multiple outlets are banked in series. The 6610 with IDC technology allows wires to be bussed across the terminals, thereby connecting common terminals all at once. The IDC terminals are arranged either along or across the connector pin axis, allowing for a horizontal or vertical mounting orientation. Wires are pressed into place with the protective back cover. Versions with combination IDC and a quick-connect or solder terminal, for separate wiring of the line connection, are also available. The 6610 outlet is offered with the V-Lock notch intended for use with a mating cordset that latches into the outlet to prevent unintentional disconnection from the power. The outlet is F style according to IEC 60320. The snap-in unit fits panels in 0.8mm to 3mm in thickness. It is approved by cURus at 15 A at 125/250 VAC and ENEC at 10A / 250VAC, and is qualified for applications in accordance with IEC/EN 60950.
