EC&M's 2007-2008 Products of the Week

Plugs and receptacles

June 18, 2007 — The Decontactor Series of plugs and receptacles is UL-approved for use as a motor circuit disconnect switch and as a branch circuit disconnect switch. According to the company, the units feature an integral switching mechanism that helps ensure the safe make or break of live connections and that the contacts are dead before the plug can be removed. In addition, when re-inserting the plug into the receptacle, the male contacts do not engage the live female contacts until after they are fully enclosed inside the device's arc chambers, thus preventing outside exposure to arc flash — even in short-circuit conditions up to 100kA. They are available in sizes up to 200A or 60 hp.

Power protection system

June 25, 2007 — The Pulsar MX 5000 RT power and battery module and Pulsar MX Frame is a fully scalable solution that can grow as customers' power needs increase. Using 3U (5.25 in.) for the combination of power and battery sub-modules, the 5kVA 3U rackmount/tower units feature hot-swappable battery and power sub-modules, auto battery-test, switched outlets, multilingual LCD display, and intuitive power management software that is compatible with most popular operating systems — including Microsoft's Vista. For high-density rack environments, the 15kVA and 20kVA models can be used as standalone or integrated into a standard 19-in. rack.
