Electronic fusing system increases automation-control-panel reliability

Weidmuller introduces the WAVEGuard Electronic Fusing System to help manufacturing automation engineers ensure uninterrupted operations of an automation control panel and its power supply. WAVEGuard Electronic Fuses are used by locating them in between a switched, regulated DC power supply and each of the loads in a control panel. These electronic fuses constantly monitor the current delivered to their assigned load, and when an excessive current flow is detected, they cut off the load's circuit within microseconds. The electronic fuse will isolate the failing circuit before the DC power supply initiates a self-shutdown routine, therefore ensuring continued delivery of power to the rest of the circuits in the automation control panel.

The WAVEGuard Electronic Fusing System is available now in 1.6, 3.15, 6.3, and 8 Amp current ratings to cover the most common current applications today. Also, each WAVEGuard electronic fuse can be rearmed either remotely or locally, saving additional time and expense.
