arlo Gavazzi has launched a new range 150W enclosed switching power supplies available with or without PFC (Power Factor Correction). Units with PFC can increase power quality and efficiency which in turn will lead to a reduction in unnecessary energy costs. The new SPPC series of switching power supplies compliments the company's industrial control and automation offerings for OEM’s and machine manufacturers as well as other applications such as Food & Beverage, Vending Machines,


System


Integrators and End-users. The SPPC has a universal AC/DC input range of


85VAC-264VAC / 120VDC-370VDC and is available in 5 different output voltages 5VDC, 12VDC, 15VDC, 24VDC and 48VDC. Efficiency is up to 87%, reducing energy wastage and prevents excessive heating in the enclosure. Operating temperature range is -25 to +70°C.

Honeywell announces the addition of three new series to its pressure switch portfolio: the HP Series, HE Series and LE Series. The new Pressure Switches from Honeywell Sensing and Control provide high burst pressure ranges, a long life cycle rating and IP67 sealing, enhancing durability and reliability.


Pressure switches are often installed into challenging applications with wide operating ranges and specific switching requirements. High burst pressure and up to 2 million life cycle ratings allow the switch to operate and survive in demanding applications and ensure long life and reliable switching. These features can help to protect critical systems, reduce OEM warranty costs and end-user downtime. Pressure switches are also often exposed to harsh environmental conditions and washing applications which can result in damaging water ingress. Honeywell’s pressure switches include IP67 sealing to improve durability and prevent water ingress from causing the switch to fail. “Honeywell’s platform design allows us to quickly adapt to our customers’ unique needs,” said


Wade Wessels, global product marketing manager. “This results in customers receiving product samples within two weeks of ordering, and within four weeks for production units. Additionally, this expanded modular portfolio reduces total cost of ownership and helps to protect operators and critical equipment subsystems.” A comprehensive selection of ports, electrical terminations and compatibility with a variety of media allow for use in most customer applications, simplifying the design-in process, eliminating tooling costs and reducing manufacturing and labor costs. The pressure switches provide a wide temperature range of -40 °C to 120 °C [-40 °F to 248 °F], and accuracy of up to ±2%. The electromechanical gauge pressure on/off switches are available with either single pole single throw normally open or normally closed circuitry, or single pole double throw circuitry. They are available for use in a wide variety of applications in the industrial and transportation industries.

pecially designed for control devices, Balluff power supplies are easily integrated into your control package and offer the safety of power surge protection. The PS series is available in a wide range of 24V models with single or 3-phase input. Output current ranges from 0.75 A (18 W) to 40 A (960 W), a size for most applications. If you need even more power, simply connect multiple power supplies together in parallel.


Other features include built-in advanced overload and overvoltage protection, load regulation to +/- one per cent, ripple/noise of less than 50mV on most models and adjustable outputs to compensate for differences in specific control needs. The mean time between failure is specified over 210,000 hours (24 years) while operating at published specifications. All power supplies hold worldwide approvals for use anywhere.

Ground Testers for simpler, faster testing


luke, the world leader in compact professional test tools, has introduced two new Earth Ground


Testers, indispensable troubleshooting tools to help maintain uptime and lower the risk of electric shock to personnel. The Fluke 1623-2 and 1625-2 GEO Earth Ground


Testers offer automated data


collection and storage, with download capabilities via a USB port, eliminating data entry and recording errors. The choice of models targets electrical contractors, industrial maintenance technicians and power utilities and telecom engineers. The higher end 1625-2 features Automatic Frequency Control (AFC) which identifies interference and chooses measurement frequency to provide an even more accurate earth ground value. Optional colour coded wires provide easier identification and deploying of wire reels and stakes, thus offering faster setup.
