Switch in Accordance with Latest ADR 2011 Regulations

E-T-A Circuit Breakers, quality designer and manufacturer of a broad range of electro-mechanical and electronic products for circuit protection, offers the BMS01 Battery Master Switch designed for hazardous goods carrying road vehicles that comply with the European International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road (ADR) regulations. The environmental protection and intrinsically safe control circuitry of the BMS01 are in accordance with ADR 2011. The battery master switch also satisfies the additional requirements of UK operators. The BMS01 will serve as an emergency shut down switch as well as disconnecting and reconnecting the vehicle’s electrical system when loading and unloading.

The double pole E-T-A BMS01 Battery Master Switch is installed close to the vehicle’s battery, between it and the electrical system: it can also be connected to act as a single pole device. The battery master switch can then be operated by means of a control switch in the cab, with optional additional control switches sited around the vehicle as required. Upon disconnection of a control switch, the main contacts of the BMS01 will open after a preset delay to allow for the controlled shutdown of computerised engine management systems. A choice of two delay times is offered, with auxiliary contacts providing output for an audible alarm during the delay period. Additional auxiliary contacts are provided for disconnection of the ignition circuit and de-energising of the alternator field winding. There is also a permanently energised protected output for the tachograph supply.

A choice of low voltage monitoring is available if required: it offers automatic disconnection of the battery after one minute, or signalisation, if undervoltage is detected while the vehicle is idle. This offers protection of the battery from the effects of deep discharge and ensures there is sufficient battery capacity for re-starting the engine.

12v and 24V versions of the BMS01 are available. An integral ATEX-approved safety barrier permits siting of the unit in hazardous areas. The master switch features a housing protected to IP65 with rubber caps on the terminals offering protection to IP54. A bi-colour LED on the body of the master switch provides clear status signalisation of the battery isolation switch and low voltage detection.

E-T-A can supply suitable control switches for the BMS01, protected against inadvertent operation. An externally mounted switch assembly is also available incorporating the green “ON” status indicators mandatory in the UK.

Schaffner has added the RB series to its product program of current-compensated chokes. The chokes are available as one- and three-phase designs in horizontal and vertical construction for currents from 16 to 50A.

Characteristic of the RB series are the open construction and clear separation of the windings by the use of a new bobbin design. With forced cooling the chokes can operate with up to 80A. The air gaps and leakage paths are designed for working voltages of up to 600Vac /1000Vdc.

Particular value was set on the pin-out of the chokes to permit a simple layout of the circuit boards. A straightforward circuit path design has advantages in terms of losses and noise suppression, especially for applications at higher current levels.

An application note also provides important information how to integrate EMC/EMI filters into circuit boards.
As a result, the EMC/EMI filtering can be incorporated into the circuit board of power electronic devices, such as inverters for drive applications, for photovoltaic or for charging stations. The RB chokes can be mounted directly to the circuit boards and are thus applicable for electronic devices that are exposed to vibration.

RB chokes comply of course with the RoHS and REACH requirements.

Crouzet Limited has added to its comprehensive range of DIN rail mounted timers with the addition of its new ‘essential’ range.

Featuring CE approval, the new EMER8, EMAR7 and EMAR9 timers compliment the popular MUR1 unit and come with 1 x 5 A changeover, relay output and feature a timing range of 0.1 seconds to 20 hours.

The single function (on delay) EMAR7 comes as 240VAC whilst the EMAR9 is 24VAC/DC.  The multifunction EMER8 timer is 12 to 240VDC and 24 to 240VAC and features a wide range of functions including:

A – On delay
At – On delay with memory
B – Timing on impulse (One shot)
C – True delay off
H- Timing on energisation
Ht – Delay on energisation with memory
Di  & D – Symmetrical flashing
W – Timing on impulse (One shot)
Pe – Impulse counter (On delay)

Specifically aimed at volume users of DIN rail mounted timers, all 3 products, EMER8, EMAR7 and EMAR9 are available in single packs (with a minimum quantity of 30 pieces) or alternatively bulk packs of 60 units provide even greater economies of scale.

The timers are ideal for a wide range of applications including lighting control, HVAC, industrial machinery and process control.

Detailed datasheets on all 3 timers can be found by visiting  www.crouzet.com
