Schaefer Announces Compact, Rugged DC-AC Inverter for Rail and Industrial Applications
Schaefer announced the PRP-1500 series of pure sine wave inverters that provide up to 1500VA of power in a flexible package that can be chassis mounted, DIN rail mounted or fits into a standard 3U Eurorack. The PRP-1500 series has versions that meet industrial (EN60950) or rail (EN50155) standards.
Standard input voltages of 12, 24, 48, 72, and 110Vdc are inverted to adjustable 120 or 230Vac outputs that are regulated to 4% or better. Units can be configured for three phase synchronization.
All models in the PRP-1500 Series feature overload protection and an LED indicator for output OK or alarm conditions. A wide operating temperature of -25 to +70°C allows for installations in extreme conditions and meets EN50155 Class 3. Remote inhibit and remote off are standard in the PRP-1500 design. Efficiency ranges from 86% to 90%. Emissions to EN61000-6-4 and EN60121-3-2 meets both industrial and rail standards and minimizes interference to other sensitive equipment. Status and programming is controlled through the RS232 interface.

Schaefer’s full family of pure sine wave inverters also includes other stand-alone modules starting at 250W of power, and higher power rack designs that include a UPS.
Modifications to standard units are available. In addition, Schaefer can design and manufacture fully custom solutions. PRP-1500 Series pricing is from $1186.00 at 100 pieces, with significant OEM quantity discounts.

Energy Efficiency with Class D Amplifier Modules
Class-D switching amplifiers are helping audio designers create personal multimedia devices and home audio/visual systems that demonstrate how compact and stylish equipment can also deliver high sound quality and high audio output power. The key to this breakthrough, providing freedom from the large and bulky boxes housing traditional audio products, lies in the class-D amplifier’s high energy efficiency, which is typically around 90%. This allows designers to reduce or eliminate heatsinks as well as using smaller-sized PCBs and smaller components such as transformers, connectors and power supplies.

The Role of Hall Effect Sensors in Power Distribution Infrastructure
Power distribution units (PDUs) form an essential part of modern computing and data communications hardware. They provide multiple outputs for transferring electrical power with maximum efficiency, controlling the power capacity and safeguarding against the possible causes of supply interruption. With an ever increasing need from tech savvy consumers for higher data throughput and greater quantities of data storage capacity, as well as tough international legislation now governing CO&sub2; emissions, the demands being placed on these units are proving challenging for engineering teams to satisfy.
