Convenience Outlets Redesigned
• NR010 – IDC Along orientation for efficient wiring
NEW: IDC Cross Orientation to the Pin-Axis
• NR020 – The classic with improved temperature rating
• NR021 – Tamper Resistant

Schurter's latest series of appliance outlets NR020 and NR021 combine classic features with new ones to meet increased fire protection and safety standards according to UL 498 Tamper Resistant, as well as facilitating compliance of receptacles used in Household and Commercial Furniture and Furniture Power Distribution Units (FPDUs), according to UL 962 and UL 962A. Higher temperature ratings and added configurations for series NR010 and NR020 respond to power demands facing Datacom infrastructures today.

Higher Temperature Rated Receptacles:
Packing density of equipment for data communication and storage continues to be regularly revolutionized with the surge of usage and functionality. Increasing ambient temperatures go hand in hand with these advancements, as demand trickles down to the smallest components to keep pace with emerging needs of the appliance manufacturers. The NR010 and NR020 series have an operating temperature range of -25 ˚C to 150 ˚C in response to the power needs of the Datacom industry. In addition, the NR010 with IDC terminals in Along- and Cross orientation to the Pin-Axis provides a version with an independent L terminal for the IDC-Along version. The neutral and ground terminals can still be bussed, while the line terminal can be used for maximum load according to UL rating 15 A, 125 V. It also extends the capability of adding functionality to each outlet individually.

Tamper Resistant Receptacles – TRR:
The concept of tamper-resistant receptacles is not a recent development; these devices have been a standard product offering of wiring device manufacturers for many years. The devices are designed to protect individuals (primarily children) from accidental shock resulting from the insertion of foreign objects. The US National Electric Code NEC® Article 406.12 states that all 15- and 20-ampere, 125- and 250-Volt nonlocking-type receptacles installed in dwelling units must be Tamper Resistant. In 2017, changes to the Code expanded on these requirements and locations. Previously, tamper-resistant receptacles were required in dwelling units, guest rooms and guest suites of hotels and motels, and in childcare facilities. The expanded code brings these safety devices to preschools and elementary education facilities; business offices, corridors, waiting rooms and the like in clinics, medical and dental offices and outpatient facilities; to assembly occupancies such as places of awaiting transportation, gymnasiums, skating rinks, auditoriums; and to dormitories. These expanded locations are areas that small children frequently occupy.

Tamper resistant receptacles feature a UL recognized safety shutter system that prevents the insertion of foreign objects into a receptacle. The safety shutters will only open upon simultaneous insertion of two plug blades. Additional tests including Probe Test, Impact Test, Mechanical Endurance Test and Dielectric Voltage Withstand Test for Tamper Resistant Receptacles TRR are included in UL 498. After passing all the above performance tests, tamper-resistant receptacles must have either the words “Tamper Resistant" or the letters "TR" (minimum 3/16 inches high) on the device as a clear indication that this is a tamper-resistant receptacle.

Schurters’s NR021 NEMA 5-15R Tamper Resistant series meets the expanded code requirements according to UL 498. Additionally, with the option of an added insulated wall between the L, N terminals, compliance with the Spill Test, outlined in UL 962 Sec. 62, is more cost effective and efficient for manufacturers of Household and Commercial Furniture and Furniture Power Distribution Units (FPDUs).

Rapid Link is a distributed, electronic drive system that is used for both simple and complex tasks in material handling systems. It offers all the features needed to switch, control, protect and network the electric motors of conveyor belts. The system consists of the RAMO5 electronic motor starter and the RASP5 variable frequency drive, both of which are available with IP65 protection.

Typical Rapid Link applications include baggage handling systems, industrial production sites and logistics centres. The devices are mounted in the vicinity of the drives, and can be quickly and reliably connected by means of standardised plug-in terminals. Users can switch between manual and automatic operation by means of a key switch. In automatic mode, the devices communicate via AS-Interface, the fieldbus of choice in material handling systems.  In addition, Rapid Link 5 can now also communicate via the Ethernet/IP and Profinet fieldbus systems.

CORE FEATURES
RAMO5 Electronic Motor Starter:
• One standardised size for power ratings from 0.09 kW to 3 kW
• DOL and reserving starter versions available
• On-site operation on board
• Long life span of more than 10 million operations
• Approvals: CE, cUL, CCC

RASP5 Variable Frequency Drive:
• One standardised size for power ratings from 0.75 kW to 4 kW
• On-site operation on board
• Precise and reliable vector control for PM motors
• Built-in STO (safe torque off) safety function
• Integrated breaking resistor for dynamic or lifting applications
• Integrated EMC filter
• Approvals: CE, cUL

A Practical Housing Design:
The unique and flexible Rapid Link 5 housing design makes it much easier to install new systems or expand existing ones. As a result, the power and motor cables can be supplied either from below or from the left or right, as required. This makes it possible to install each device in line with individual requirements while keeping the footprint to a minimum.

And thanks to the uniform mounting dimensions, which are identical across all types and power ratings, a single mounting frame covers the entire range. Should it become necessary to replace a motor starter with a variable frequency drive during commissioning, for example, this can likewise be done without any additional preparation time and costs.

IoT Ready:
Rapid Link 5 forms an integrated system and covers the AS-Interface, Profinet and Ethernet/IP fieldbus systems. Integration into IoT solutions is therefore possible without any problems. In large material handling systems, this also enables a high degree of data transparency down to the device level, which allows for the implementation of remote maintenance and comprehensive power management. In addition, all the Rapid Link devices meet the highest security requirements and thereby offer effective protection against cyber attacks.

Easy Configuration and Diagnostics:
With the serial RJ45 interface, several configuration options are available: Eaton's comprehensive and convenient external keypads, the communication stick, the drivesConnect Windows software, or the drivesConnect mobile app for smartphones or tablets. This makes it possible to configure, copy and save the parameters as well as to display setpoint and actual values, or to read out the diagnostic and fault memory on site.

The simultaneous graphical representation of up to four real-time values allows users to gain a quick overview and to rapidly identify if any parameter settings have changed. In the case of parameter sets that have already been saved, offline processing without the variably frequency drive is also possible. The parameter sets can be easily copied to any number of devices, which also saves time during commissioning.

The Most Powerful High Voltage Relay Up To 1000 V

The HVR10 is a hybrid powerful high end high voltage relay in a compact design. It combines physical isolation of high voltages via an electro-mechanical contact and state-of-the-art semi-conductor technology.

The hybrid, arc-free switching system allows reliable disconnection, even in the event of an overload, of up to 2 megawatts – 2,000 A/ 1,000 V. The HVR10 withstands high short circuit currents up to 5,000 A until the fast HV-fuse trips. The fist-sized unit can switch and permanently process 300 A at 900 V up to 50,000 times, arc-free and wear-free. The innovative self-monitoring function immediately signals critical operating conditions to the controlgear.

Features:
• Continuous current capacity of 300 A at 25 °C or 250 A at 85 °C.
• The rupture capacity of up to 2000 A at 1000 V is valid for both current directions without restrictions. It is therefore possible to lead even high charging currents over the relay.
• Very low current consumption in the ON condition of typically 0.2 W (12 V * 18 mA) due to a bistable drive, which only draws power from the supply when the switching status changes.
• For a short period of time, the HVR10 can carry up to 5000 A (25ms) and facilitates the co-ordination with a suitable HV fuse.
• The switching status of the mechanical contact system as well as the current rise upon switch-on operation is continuously monitored. This allows information of the control unit about critical operating conditions.
• The hybrid switching concept uses an electronic bypass that successfully suppresses the arc, thus significantly reducing the thermal load of the mechanical contact system.

Benefits:
• Reliable disconnection even in critical conditions up to 2,000 A at 1,000 V
• High protection of the on-board electrical system through integral fault detection and indication
• Long life span through low-arc switching operation

Applications:
• All utility vehicles, e.g. buses, trucks, construction machinery, specialty vehicles with electrical power train, mining vehicles etc.
• Voltages beyond the 450 V system voltage, charging stations, power storage and main relays in the vehicle

Standards:
• ISO 16750
• IATF 16949
• ECE R10

Active, Electronic Switch for the Harshest Conditions
- Minimal installation depth
- Multi color side illumination
- Modern and fresh design

Compact, light and powerful - these are the requirements that are placed on a switch in a variety of applications. The installation depth often interferes with these requirements. This is not the case with the new MSS from Schurter, but it has even more to offer. Its fresh, lively design with multi-color side illumination and the new switch technology make it stand out from the crowd on the market.

The new MSS uses a technology that was previously unknown in the electronic switch world. The MSS is an active electronic switch that reacts to a minimal deformation of the actuating surface. The technology is extremely precise so that only a small amount of pressure is required.

Gentle Pressure Required
Even light pressure on the surface of the button triggers the switching signal. A mere touch - as with a capacitive switch - is not sufficient for this. For many areas of application, this is exactly what is required. This ensures that no switching function takes place in such a case. The design of this technology is particularly compact and thus enables the low installation depth of the MSS.

Tough Performer
The Schurter MSS switches offer the highest reliability. As they have no moving parts, their service life is more than 20 million switching cycles. Thanks to the enclosed design, the MSS achieves protection class IP67 and shock resistance rating IK06. These values predestine it for use in particularly demanding environments.

Modern and Fresh Design
The innovative multi color side illumination not only provides the user with visual feedback, but also makes the unit's user interface "appear in a new light".

But even with the non-illuminated versions, clear function assignments can be made through the various color versions available. Depending on the color choice of the switch, this gives the user interface a fresh, lively appearance.

Application Areas
The MSS switches are extremely versatile. Due to their technical features, they can be used in industrial installations as well as in devices for the consumer market.
