Kavlico's Diesel Particulate Filter Monitoring Pressure Sensors Support A Green World

Designed for use with after-treatment systems to monitor particulate matter (PM) in diesel engine exhaust, Kavlico's differential pressure sensors provide multiple solutions for the emerging emissions monitoring market. The sensors communicate data to determine when the system should regenerate or burnout toxic exhaust particles from the DPF filter.

UL Approves Short Circuit Current Ratings for Crydom Solid State Relays (SSRs)

Crydom is the first solid state relay manufacturer to obtain UL certification for 100kA short circuit current ratings (SCCR). Crydom SSRs facilitate industrial control panel builders' efforts to comply with the new article 409 form NEC and the latest version of UL508A, by providing them with pre-approved ratings for SSR/fuse combination. The approved ratings allow panel builders to establish SCCR by testing the combination SSR/Fuse under the "umbrella fuse" requirement, allowing more flexibility to Crydom customers to mix and match SSR fuses of different ratings.
