WBQ Series Redefines High Voltage Power Density

More than just a pivot: intelligent integration The DRRS, with its hollow shaft and flange, allows the direct passage of electrical signals or compressed air through the shaft, simplifying the design and reducing the number of external components. A simpler, tidier and more efficient machine architecture. → Explore it more here: https://lnkd.in/dawrQF_Y #FestoSouthAfrica #DRRS #IndustrialAutomation #Semirotarydrive

Auxiliary power design is not just a component decision. It’s a system architecture decision. In commercial EV projects, a DC-DC converter is only one part of the puzzle. What really matters is the whole system: • Placement in the vehicle • Thermal management & cooling • Protection strategy • CAN communication • Redundancy design If one of these goes wrong, the entire auxiliary power system suffers. That’s why auxiliary power design is rarely about a single module. It’s about how the system works together. 💬 Curious how other teams approach this: Do you treat auxiliary power as a module or as a system? 👍 Module 🔧 System #PowerElectronics #DCDC #EVEngineering #ElectricVehicles #SystemDesign #AuxiliaryPower

⚙️Variable frequency drive or not — When does it actually make sense? As soon as a process doesn't run at permanent full load, the case is clear. A variable frequency drive turns a rigid mains supply into a controllable motion source and that changes what's possible across the machine. Take pumps as an example: a 10% flow reduction can already cut energy consumption by more than 25%. No throttling, no bypass losses, less mechanical stress and higher availability. The same logic applies across conveyor systems, winding applications, and fan drives. In each case the question is the same: does the process actually need full speed all the time? And then there's architecture. Control cabinet or decentralized? That decision shapes your machine modularity and installation effort. Our latest blog post breaks down the key applications and criteria to help you make the right choice. Learn more here👉: https://lnkd.in/dafJKfWP

When installation space is fixed, adding more UV power is usually the wrong starting point. The real question is: How do you reach the irradiance target without creating a thermal problem that hurts long-run stability? In compact UV projects, we usually look at three things first: • how much optical density the footprint can actually support • whether a more integrated structure improves output per area • whether the thermal path still works under continuous operation So the solution is rarely just “more LEDs.” It is usually a structural balance between footprint, irradiance density, and heat removal. That is where module architecture matters as much as chip performance. Representative scenario: A compact curing design with a footprint around 28 × 52 mm and a target near 6 W/cm² at 10–12 mm working distance is already a realistic engineering problem. At that point, the challenge is not feasibility alone. It is how to make the module compact, thermally manageable, and stable enough for real use. If you are working on a compact UV system with a demanding irradiance target, DM COB. #UVLED #UVModule #COBLED #Irradiance #ThermalManagement #OpticalDesign #CompactDesign #EngineeringSolutions #IndustrialUV #UVTechnology #Semiconductor #OEMDesign

If your environment includes distributed fibre, SLA pressure and mixed vendors, visibility isn’t optional. Operator control requires structure. Structure requires architectural discipline. If your current monitoring multiplies noise instead of isolating cause, it’s time to look deeper.

Why Fibre Optics? “Why don’t you just use LEDs?” It’s a question we're frequently asked. When conventional lighting seems like the ideal choice, why do we lean so heavily into fibre optics? Because in many environments, conventional lighting is a maintenance nightmare waiting to happen. Take a star ceiling. If you want 300 individual star points using micro LEDs, you instantly: 🔴 Introduce 300 electrical nodes 🔴 Increase your driver count 🔴 Complicate the programming 🔴 Multiply your failure points 🔴 Increase ceiling depth requirements Switch to fibre optics, and the system architecture completely changes: 🟢 One remote illuminator 🟢 One control interface 🟢 Zero electricity at the ceiling surface 🟢 Minimal heat at the emission point You shift the complexity to a single, centralised light unit. In wet zones and submerged spaces, separating the light source from electricity isn’t just a novelty; it’s a necessity. It fundamentally changes what is possible to build. Have you ever had to deal with a lighting setup that had too many failure points?

I spent my weekend designing a dual-radial industrial distribution network. The system utilizes a Main-Tie-Main architecture designed for high availability, stepping down 33 kV voltage to 6.6 kV distribution level, and finally to a 415 V utilization level. The current simulation represents a "Normal" operating state with tie-breakers open and balanced load distribution. The system is configured into two symmetrical branches (Left and Right) fed from a common utility swing bus (U1). This design is open for criticism if there is need for a better improvement.

In the event of a T1 or T2 failure, the CB14 tie-breaker can be closed. Under current loading, a single 25 MVA transformer would face a total demand of ~33 MVA, leading to a 32% overload condition. Action: It is recommended to establish a load-shedding protocol for the 14 MVA lumped loads before performing a manual or automatic tie-transfer to prevent transformer damage during a contingency. Voltage Regulation: The current tap settings on T3/T4 are adequate, as the terminal voltage of 411 V is stable for motor-heavy industrial environments.
