Flexible enclosure lights with low-level power dissipation

Flexible enclosure lights with low-level power dissipation

The luminous intensity of the new, efficient 400 class enclosure lights from Phoenix Contact has been improved, and they now provide 700 lm with a power dissipation of just 6 W. Their wide-range input allows flexible, global use since they can be connected to voltages from 24 to 265 V AC and DC, and particularly quickly due to the push-in connection technology.

High reliability power for offshore wind turbine research project

High reliability power for offshore wind turbine research project

Puls Power is supporting a university project which is aimed at detecting damage to the grout connections in offshore wind turbines. Grouted connections in offshore wind turbines are formed by attaching overlapping steel piles with an ultra-high strength cementitious grout. The structural performance of grouted connections is critical for the substructures to exhibit sufficient resistance to environmental loads.

Quarter turn latches specified for electric vehicle charging stations

Quarter turn latches specified for electric vehicle charging stations

Eldon has introduced an all-new range of charging stations for electric vehicles. They use a sheet-metal enclosure that is oxylane-treated with a C5-class varnish as a corrosion inhibitor, and the cabinets have been designed for impact resistance to IK10 with ingress protection to IP54. Reliable locking combined with ease of access to the inside of the cabinets was high on the ‘must haves’ list for Eldon engineers when designing the new range. As a result, standard cylinder locks from Swedish manufacturer Industrilas have been exclusively specified on the project.
