Unlike a fuse, the VACON NXP DCGuard can easily be reset and restarted once fault conditions have been removed. This will remove barriers for end users who are reluctant to switch to more efficient DC systems due to concerns over short circuit fault currents.
The Vacon NXP DCGuard is a device that maintains the safety and stability of a DC grid system by detecting and cutting off any faulty direct currents (DCs) within 50 microseconds and, thereby, protecting the surrounding equipment by preventing brownouts associated with typical fuse or breaker protections that take up to 100 times longer to trip.
The module’s design is optimized for I.P.-sealed applications in high-pollution environments or externally mounted systems, which require solutions that are thermally bonded and contact-cooled to a cold-wall or heatsink. This results in 100% available output power at baseplate temperatures as high as 100ºC.
Data centers, colos, medical facilities, and industrial plants across the globe have found that the use of flywheels — in conjunction with or instead of batteries — significantly increases power reliability and uptime.
ABB’s microgrid solutions allow data centers to operate fully off-grid, powered by their own solar or wind generation coupled with battery energy storage systems (BESSs), or partially off-grid by utilizing both renewables and power networks.
By taking advantage of the latest technological breakthroughs, it is possible to unleash greater carbon savings and benefit from the latest connectivity capabilities as the world looks ahead to a safer, smarter, and more sustainable future.
The high-efficiency U-P2330 power supply card (PSC) supports the power requirements of The Open Group Sensor Open Systems Architecture (SOSA)-aligned systems.
