With its new two-rail decentralized junction box, Tyco Electronics now offers a new way for locating junction boxes on a PV panel. Compared to the commonly used centralized junction boxes in the PV industry, the decentralized box requires 50% less jumper cable to connect to the next solar panel, as the junction boxes are located in the corner of the panels.

Have you ever designed a piece of kit which let you down, by being susceptible to EMC, when you didn’t think it ought to be? Rittal has the answer with the Ripac Vario subrack for mounting multiple board electronic solutions in 19” (482.6mm) racks, as the range is easily upgraded from standard to EMC after it has been completed.

TEKO have extended their ‘TEKBOX’ enclosures range to include sealed versions rated IP65. As a result, these modern handheld enclosures can now be used outdoor or in harsher industrial environments.

Modern electronic devices, such as inverters and soft starters, need to be protected by an enclosure that is of compact dimensions and has an efficient cooling system. In normal environments the preferred option is to fan ventilate, but fans alone can be detrimental to the ingress protection (IP) classification of the enclosure. The solution lies in a combined fan and filter, designed to provide cooling air that is free of both dust and splashed ...

Many players will have a bank of up to 20 stomp boxes, each providing a different effect.

Designed for use in MicroTCA applications, the new Compact Cooling Package (CCP) from Rittal has the flexibility and scalability to provide targeted cooling in many rack mounted applications where significant amounts of heat are being generated. Each CCP is capable of removing up to 1200W of heat in an efficient, controlled manner and multiple systems may be distributed within the rack if required.

Although most of Rittal’s AE Compact Enclosure range is rated to IP66, they were not designed to be used as outdoor enclosures. The introduction of stainless steel models improved the protection against moisture and air-borne contaminants which made the enclosures particularly suitable for a wide variety of process control applications.
