Delta Electronics Active Front End (AFE) Advantages

Delta offers the AFE series which stands for Active Front End. Basically this is a controllable rectifier with advantages that include:

  • Bidirectional power exchange between AC and DC power
  • Regenerating reusable power to the mains to reduce the cost of power
  • Uses PWM modulation to greatly reduce distinctive peaks of current and form perfect sine wave current
  • Eliminates high order harmonics and provides very low harmonic current
  • Save the cost of purchasing additional electrical equipment for better power quality
  • Offers stable power quality unaffected from mains power fluctuations and can be applied to a parallel serial connection

Marshall Wolf Automation has had a long standing relationship with Delta Electronics and is proud to be an authorized distributor for their full line of high performance AC drives, industrial DC power supplies, communication modules, industrial operator interfaces and more.

Carlo Gavazzi Sensors - Photoelectric Light Sensor

The PD30 series features simple to use, precise push button programming. Many of the models also provide remote teaching options, so setup and programming of the sensor can be done away from the application, providing a tamper-resistant set up that allows for a more secure operation.

A muting version provides various benefits, including mutual interference protection, sensor alignment aid, and the ability to verify the sensor's proper operation remotely via a PLC. A dust alarm output signals an alarm when the sensor lens needs to be cleaned, reducing downtime and improving sensor performance.

The PD30 series is available in six sensing technologies, several with advanced ranges previously unheard of in sensors this size, including through-beam (15 meter) and polarized retro-reflective (6 meters).

Diffuse reflective, background suppression, retro-reflective, and a transparent object detection model are also available. Each sensor has a 100mA transistor output, which can be programmed as normally open or closed, and feature a compact 10.8 x 20 x 30mm housing.

Background suppression models offer exceptional detection capabilities in difficult sensing environments where shiny stainless steel backgrounds can cause difficulties for sensors.

Great for packaging, material handling and food/beverage markets!

Energy Management from Carlo Gavazzi

Carlo Gavazzi supplies energy management meters and systems that provide information so that operators can identify consumption trends and take corrective actions.  Analyzing the power profile, operators can aggregate loads and negotiation favorable terms with the utility company.  Real time power consumption monitoring allows overloads to be anticipated.

Power quality and accurate measurements are becoming more and more important in a number of applications (hospitals, heavy and big industries, etc.).  Utilities need an instrument with high accuracy to monitor the distribution system or the generation plants.  Their energy management program also includes software products for monitoring a network of meters and transducers.  Also offered are a wide range of current transformers, that can be connected with all the existing wire terminals and installed either on DIN-rail, around bus-bars or directly onto back panels.

We also offer the full line of Gavazzi products including Carlo Gavazzi sensors and relays!  Contact us today: 800-325-9653

Are You Protected? Surge Protection Devices.

A few interesting facts:

  • An estimated 55% of all facility downtime is attributed to power quality
  • It is estimated that nearly 26 billion dollars per year is lost in downtime incidents

Over the years the use of electronic equipment in facilities has significantly increased. This electronic equipment continues to get smaller and more powerful which makes these electronic devices more sensitive to changes in voltages and currents.

 

These electronic devices have more potential exposure to overvoltage failures than ever before!

Have you upgraded your power quality infrastructure? Are you protected from voltage surges and voltage disturbances?

Marshall Wolf Automation is your authorized industrial automation distributor for the complete line of Mersen (formerly Ferraz Shawmut) including their SPD (surge protection devices) line.
