MTE Intros Harmonic Filters and Options
Menomonee Falls, WI —MTE Corpor - ation, an SL Industries Com pany, has introduced its new 600V, 60Hz and 690V, 50Hz harmonic filter models that are available from 6 to 786 Amps. Joining the Matrix™ AP family of 480V/60Hz and 400V/50Hz offerings, this latest addition completes the Matrix AP product line, providing best-of-breed mitigation solutions and options to damaging and costly har- monics. Variable frequency drives (VFDs),
uninterruptiblepower supplies (UPSs), pumps, transformers, motors and
Harmonic filter system.
other electrical equipment can intro- duce harmful harmonics into neighbor- ing equipment and onto the electrical grid system, resulting in poor power quality, reduced energy efficiencies and potential penalties from utility companies. Operating at over 99 per- cent efficiency, these harmonic filters address the demand for improved power quality, providing users with the most efficient harmonic mitigation available in a passive filter. Incorporating the company’s pat -
ented adaptive passive technology, the Matrix AP harmonic filters are able to quickly adapt their impedance in response to changing electrical loads.
Compared to other passive filter de - signs that work for 100 percent loads, the Matrix AP maintains filtering per- formance over a wider load, including mitigating harmonic distortion at low loads. This special capability gives the filter family the distinction of being the most technically advanced passive filters on the market. The new 600V and 690V filters are available with a wide operating temperature range of –40 to +50°C. Especially suitable for use on the power input of VFDs and other 6-pulse drives, the Matrix AP fil- ters help customers meet IEEE-519 requirements for harmonic distortion, regardless of power load. In addition, the new models are compatible with generator systems and use up to 83 percent fewer capacitors than previous generation Matrix filters. Moreover, MTE has eliminated the usage of resistors, resulting in less heat gener- ation, removing the need for fans. The product also provides a host of capac- itor contactor options to meet specif- ic power applications, including dis- connection of the filter capacitor bank, adjustable pick-up and drop- out and filter bypass. The 600V and 690V Ma trix AP harmonic filters are available now in open panel. In addi- tion, the 600V is also available in NEMA 1/2 and NEMA 3R configura- tions. UL and cUL Listed, the filters
offer a 3-year warranty. Contact: MTE Corporation, an

X-Ray Detectors from Teledyne DALSA for Non-Destructive Testing
Waterloo, Ontario, Canada — Teledyne DALSA, a Teledyne Tech - nologies company, has introduced the first in its new Rad-icon series of CMOS X-Ray cam- eras.
The Rad-icon 1520 detec-
tor has 1548 x 2064 pixel res- olution, an active area of 15.3 x 20.4cm, and 99µ pixel size. Rad-icon detectors deliver real-time frame rates of up to 30 fps, high sensitivity, and superb resolution in a large area device that is fully integrated and available with a fast, reliable Gigabit Ethernet or Camera Link interface. The detectors offer an unusual
combination of higher resolution and fast imaging suitable for industrial x- ray inspection, scientific imaging, and non-destructive testing, includ- ing weld inspection, wire bond and printed circuit board (PCB) inspec- tion, microfocus, computed tomogra- phy (CT) and other demanding
industrial imaging applications. Rad-icon digital x-ray cameras leverage the company’s advanced
X-ray detector.
CMOS image sensing technology that enables the delivery of higher image quality than a-Si flat panels and image intensifier devices. Other features include: 5 lp/mm resolution; energy range from 10 to 225kV; 14- bit digitization of images; SDKs,
drivers and programming support. Contact: Teledyne Dalsa, 700

Intepro Loads Simplify Battery Testing
Tustin, CA — The new EL97xx series of electronic loads available now from Intepro Systems offers users a simple means to test or characterize individual battery cells or multi-cell stacks. Models are available with power ratings from 150 to 6,000W for use as simple front panel controlled bench test or repair instruments to components in complex, automated test and burn-in systems. Applications include repair of
power supplies and equipment through to testing batteries used for high reliability UPS and data-pro- tection systems. Comprehensive battery testing
can identify individual faulty cells allowing battery stacks to be rebuilt, reducing waste and recycling while improving reliability. Battery manu- facturers can use the Intepro EL97xx series of electronic loads to character- ize the performance of new designs, establish life expectancy and for pro- duction test. Automated testing pro- vides repeatability and offers storage of test data for quality control, analy- sis and traceability. Test results may be fully interrogated and exported as spreadsheets or Word documents into an SQL database. All Intepro EL97xx electronic
loads are supplied with comprehen- sive free software to simplify set-up and testing of batteries. Dynamic burn-in and discharge tests with user control of waveform may be simply performed with all test parameters available for user setting, live data is shown on a virtual control panel and a clear “capacity plot” is displayed. The user can add more markers by using the icons on the tool bar to set a visu- al indicator to show the expected per- formance range. As well as being a standalone instrument the EL97xx electronic load is also designed for easy integration into larger automat- ed test systems and may be controlled by the company’s open-source Power - Star software suite.
