ABB expands doubly-fed generator family to cover powers over 3 MW
A
Sensor and actuator connection system brings it all together
to one area in your panel or machine. This range incorporates 2 or 3 rows of common terminals that can be used to distribute the power to multiple devices and a feed through terminal that can be connected to your sensor, actuator or PLC.
T Using
this system the wiring can all be terminated in the same place therefore removing the need to split the power away from the signal cables. With tension spring cable connection technology, you can be assured of a fast, reliable and maintenance free solution. This range is also available without feed through and can be supplied pre-assembled or as piece parts for complete flexibility.
• Ratings – 4900V, 17.5A • 2.5mm cable size • Cross connectable • Touch safe construction • Screwless connection

BB’s doubly-fed (DF) generators - which incorporate an
advanced rotor design and durable slip ring unit - are extended with a new generator in frame size 560. Offering efficiency levels of 97.5 percent at its rated speed, the generator introduces a new level of slip ring units, designed for low maintenance. Following the introduction of the new generator, ABB’s standard doubly-fed family now extends from 1.5 to more than 3 MW. A DF generator is a wound rotor asynchronous machine, with the rotor windings connected to a small converter via slip-rings and brushes. The generator feeds power from the directly connected stator and the rotor. The converter enables control of the generator speed, power and power factor, thus giving a wider speed range for production. This provides the ability to feed reactive power to support the grid. As such, the DF generators are designed for demanding reactive power production with high stability in sudden overspeeds. The generators can be either air- or water-cooled and are available for both 50 and 60 Hz networks.

Emparro Cap buffer module E
enter 812
Advertorial
mparro Cap is Murrelektronik's new buffer module for maximum system availability. The module ensures a stable power supply system and guarantees safe industrial processes. Emparro Cap reliably bridges voltage drops coming from the mains. This avoids time-consuming and cost-intensive interruptions of production processes. Fully automated production plants experience short-time voltage drops that can interrupt the production and incur high costs and
overtime. The Emparro Cap buffer module is a useful solution to avoid these problems. It can be easily integrated into new and existing 24 V DC power supply systems. It offers a buffer time of more than one second, even with a full load of 20 A. This covers mains fluctuations and voltage interruptions with no problems. Small input, big output! It's easy to break even with Emparro Cap: the investment costs for the buffer module often pay off after the first production outage is avoided. Emparro Cap is equipped with ultra capacitors. Compared with battery based buffer solutions, they feature the benefit of being permanently maintenance-free. Due to its small width, Emparro Cap offers 5 times more buffer time than conventional buffer modules, even though it requires the same space in the cabinet. It is suitable for a temperature range that covers 100 K, reaching from -40° to +60°C.

Perfect protection of D-SUB connectors for applications in harsh environments
or industrial applications in harsh environments, connector systems meeting such special requirements are needed. In addition to protection against external influences,
F protection against
electromagnetic interference is also often required. CONEC supplements its protective hood product range by IP67 and shielded IP67 D-SUB hoods for 9-50 pole D-SUB connectors. The plastic version of the new
IP67 hoods is used wherever dust and spray water would impair the function of unprotected connectors.
For applications requiring not only IP protection, but also protection against electromagnetic interference in sensitive signals, CONEC offers a metalized version with shield connection at the cable strain relief. Key facts: • Suitable for D-SUB and Combination D-SUB
• Suitable for coaxial- and power contacts
• Plastic hood black: PBT, UL 94 V-0 • Plastic hood metallized: nickel plated ABS, UL 94 V-0 • Integrated cable sealing 4-40 UNC stainless steel

Intelligent pump solutions and modern motor choices made simple
specifying energy efficient electric motors are the focus of two ABB talks to be given at this years’ event. Choosing between a separate programmable logic controller (PLC) or one built into a variable-speed drive can be difficult when deciding why and where to put intelligence in a modern pumping station. At this year’s Pump Centre Conference, ABB is discussing the benefits of the various options with support from actual reference sites. In one of the breakout sessions, ABB also offers guidance on choosing the right motor for an application. With so many motor choices – from induction motors, permanent magnet motors and synchronous reluctance motors – ABB guides the user through the decision, shedding light on efficiency regulations, EU MEPS, and the differences between IE2, IE3 and IE4. On display is the ABB drive for water and wastewater, the ACQ810; a range designed for all of the applications commonly used in the industry to optimise the system and to save energy. The specifically designed modules feature tailor-made pump control functions for single and multi-pump systems with intelligent features like anti-ragging, multi-pump control, level control, flow calculation and pump protection.
