EnerSys Expands Offering of PowerSafe Flooded-Cell Batteries for Nuclear Applications
EnerSys® has expanded its line of PowerSafe® GN nuclear-qualified, flame-retardant flooded cell batteries to include approved line enhancements and 11 additional sizes to meet the growing need for resurgent nuclear power applications. The new EnerSys PowerSafe GN batteries are built in accordance to a quality management system that encompasses 10CFR50 Appendix B and NQA-1 1994. The batteries are available in single-cell and two-cell jar configurations.
"Our PowerSafe GN batteries are low maintenance and powerfully designed to handle complex load profiles, making them ideal for new or retrofit installations," said George Brendahl, EnerSys nuclear product manager. "With up to 72-hours of backup capacity, they can provide back-up energy for pumps, cooling systems, monitoring and controls."
Ranging from 1140Ah to 3600Ah, PowerSafe GN batteries feature flat plate, calcium alloy grid construction with enhanced microporous rubber separator materials for optimum acid migration. Positive plates are bridge hung to mitigate effects of natural aging, and the negative plates are bottom supported.

The batteries are housed in a durable polycarbonate container with glass fiber. They are specifically suited for demanding complex load profiles requiring high initial and end currents and provide the highest one-minute voltage discharge rates per cell.
The PowerSafe GN battery line also employs the exclusive EnerSys Slide Lock™ post seal that allows natural plate growth over time without degrading the seal and an innovative tongue-and-groove, jar-to-cover seal to prevent leaks. Along with the calcium grid alloy, this greatly reduces acid migration and water loss, resulting in a very low maintenance battery with excellent cost efficiency.
PowerSafe GN batteries are available in 17 sizes and three configurations: PowerSafe GN-13 and -15 are single-post, lead-plated copper with two-cell jars. PowerSafe GN-17 through -23 are double-post, lead-plated copper with two-cell jars. PowerSafe GN-25 through -45 are double-post, lead-plated copper with single-cell jars.

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.
