ABB NeoGear™- The Safest Low Voltage Switchgear Ever Made!

October 28, 2021

ABB2.jpg

For more than four decades, low-voltage switchgear systems have stayed more or less the same.  Now, it’s time for a revolution. Introducing ABB NeoGearTM, the biggest breakthrough in switchgear technology yet.

NeoGear is a revolutionary new switchgear, based on an innovative busbar concept. Combined with the connectivity and digital smartness of the ABB Ability™ platform, it offers maximum safety, highest reliability, more flexibility, better efficiency and measurable ROI.

 

• NeoGear is safer, thanks to its revolutionary, fully insulated busbar system
• NeoGear is more reliable, because its busbar system is maintenance-free and significantly reduces risk of mechanical failure
• NeoGear is more flexible, thanks to a new contact system
• NeoGear is scalable, because it needs much fewer parts and offers more space for starter and feeder components
• NeoGear saves energy thanks to its excellent thermal performance and sharply reduced losses
• NeoGear is underpinned by the ABB Ability™ platform, for better energy management, condition monitoring and predictive maintenance
• NeoGear is future-proof, ready to support the digital factory of the future with its cloud computing an industrial IoT solutions

NeoGear eliminates hazardous exposure to live parts, uses 92 percent fewer busbar components than traditional switchgear and with 90 percent fewer electrical joints improves switchgear availability. The arc ignition protected zone keeps maintenance personnel safer when performing routine works and repairs, while also reducing the risk of arcs caused by mechanical failures.

NeoGear offers a reduced physical footprint by up to 25 percent compared to equivalent switchgear technologies. Within this compact footprint, it also achieves energy efficiency improvements of up to 20 percent due to reduced heat dissipation.

Schurter CHS Capacitive Switch

October 27, 2021

Schurter Logo1.jpg

CHS Capacitive Switch that can be Installed in a Hidden Way

• Designed for use behind all non-conductive materials where openings in the user interface are not desired
• Provides the designer with a lot of freedom in the design of the user interface
• Highest reliability and service life
• RGB area illumination

Conventional switches inevitably require mounting holes in the user interface. Not so with the new Schurter CHS. CHS stands for "Capacitive Hidden Switch". They can be mounted hidden behind the surface of non-conductive materials and are therefore invisible. This approach allows completely new possibilities for designing user interfaces that ideally meet the requirements of specific applications.

With capacitive switches, an electric field is built up on the user surface of the sensor. This technology is used to design a switch with the Schurter CHS that no longer requires direct sensor contact with the finger to trigger. The electrical field change required to trigger the switching process is still achieved even if a non-conductive material (glass, plastic, wood, or similar) is inserted between the sensor and the finger.

Use in Highly Sensitive Environments:
The new CHS is simply glued behind a wide variety of non-conductive materials and thus enables the construction of control elements for devices (medical technology, food industry) where hygiene plays a major role. Since there are no holes or slots created by the installation and the switch also has no moving parts, potentially harmful microbes have no possibility to "settle" on the user interface. This means that materials can be chosen that are particularly easy to
clean.

Sensitivity Adjustable:
The SCHURTER CHS is programmed as standard so that it does not trip in the event of field changes caused by liquids or minor wiping contact. This is only done by precise touching of the switching surface. However, adjustments can be made here at the customer's request. This applies in particular to the thickness of the material behind which the switch is bonded. As standard, the sensitivity is designed for a glass thickness of up to 2 mm.

Designer’s Dream:
Switches are always a challenge for industrial designers. Their installation in the user interface often "disturbs" the appearance and structure of the same. The desire for an invisible switch is therefore great, because with it one no longer has to make compromises and is to a great extent free in the design.

Available in 3 Variants:
The new SCHURTER CHS is available in three different variants.
• CHS 1 comes without illumination and is with a mounting depth of less than 6 mm the optimal solution for space constrained designs.
• CHS 2 provides optical feedback. The RGB lighting can be used as a design element.
• CHS 3 is the potted version with lighting for demanding use in harsh environments.
