At InnoTrans 2022 Knick presented 3 products as world firsts for rolling stock and DC traction power supply applications.
The new P52000VPD voltage presence detector reliably monitors areas with high voltages and sends a signal to the downstream plant control system when a specified threshold value is reached.
VariTrans A20340 – Quadruple Standard Signals in Just One Signal Conditioner The VariTrans A20340 from Knick is a new type of standard-signal multiplier that can output a standard input signal to four calibrated and galvanically isolated outputs in parallel. It thus allows up to four standard signal receivers to be supplied by a single, space-saving…
Electrical measurement and process analytics for hydrogen production Hydrogen is currently in the spotlight as an energy and storage medium. Knick products optimize hydrogen production in the process and in electrolyser operation. How this works was presented by two of our experts at the virtual H2 Forum 2021 at the end of April. Green hydrogen…
The new ProLine P 16000 from Knick is a pulse frequency conditioner that converts frequency signals from speed sensors into standard signals. This eliminates the need for pulse counting inputs in the control unit.
The VariTrans P 40000 series from Knick enables reliable voltage measurements from ±50 mV to ±3600 V and current measurements from ±100 mA to ±20 kA. The proven series from the ProLine has now been expanded to include the transducer P42000D2, which measures voltages up to 2200 V DC in a compact housing for Din rail mounting.
Photovoltaic (PV) array degradation is an important aspect to consider for system design and installation. Over time, factors such as weather and UV exposure contribute to solar cell performance decline. By better understanding degradation effects and contributors, safeguards and technology enhancements can potentially be considered for performance improvements.
The requirements placed on railway vehicles have increased significantly in recent years. Products for rolling stock need to ensure a higher level of functional safety than ever before to make the travel experience more comfortable, safer and reliable for the end user – the railway customers. New technologies must be developed to meet future application requirements as well. Based on these points, Knick decided to fundamentally redesign one of its core product groups.
The P27000 is a high-voltage isolated signal conditioner that offers the ability to take non-standard output signals produced by devices such as shunt resistors, batteries, and current transducers and converts them to the more standard units and ranges typically seen by control systems.
There are numerous features that make the P50000 series of high-voltage and current transducers a great choice for deployment within critical rail systems. What are they?
