ABB launches a new solid-state circuit breaker to enable the next generation of safe and energy-efficient direct current (DC) power systems.DC power distribution is at the forefront of strategies to make maritime vessels more sustainable and energy efficient: the SACE Infinitus circuit breaker simplifies the integration, protection and control of these new DC network architectures for ships of all types and sizes.DC power systems improve fuel efficiency by up to 20 percent.By eliminating the losses and limitations of AC power, DC networks allow ships to match the electrical output of onboard diesel-electric generator sets with the power needed for propulsion and other loads.DC electrical architectures also simplify the integration of battery storage and hydrogen fuel cell systems into the ship's electrical system and help maximize its efficiency.SACE Infinitus is the world's first IEC 60947-2 certified circuit breaker with semiconductor technology, optimized for low losses, providing an all-in-one device for DC power protection and control.The device will be available with DNV certification for low voltage maritime applications, providing ultra-fast protection to enable new DC network architectures, making them safe and easy to integrate for ships.It also detects and responds to short circuit faults 100 times faster than traditional mechanical circuit breakers.As the most important bus link switch on the vessel, the solid-state switch allows fault zones to be isolated, even in cases with extremely high short-circuit currents, maximizing system availability.The ultra-fast device also interrupts fault currents without an arc flash, reducing the risk of arc flash to almost zero.In addition to speed, the new technology also gives the device an ultra-long electrical life;100 times more than standard switches.A complex, sensitive and relevant disciplineThey will take place on October 26 and 27 at IFEMA MadridWith the data for August, industrial production has chained four consecutive months of positive ratesAllows developers to use any microcontroller for IIoT solutionsThey use their own drive to follow the movement of the ASC cranesInterview with Fernando Colás, CEO of Omron's Industrial Automation Business Unit (IAB) in EuropeXPlanar transports parts for surface treatment with plasmaEmail info@automaticaeinstrumentacion.com© Copyright 2021 - automaticaeinstrumentacion.com |All rights reserved
