SCHNEIDER ELECTRIC PRODUCT | SCHNEIDER ELECTRIC XB4 AT ENRGTECH

The Schneider Electric XB4 contact block has become synonymous with industrial and domestic switching in the recent past. Its popularity can be attributed to its flexibility, robustness, and ease of installation. The BX4 contact block has been designed to meet the requirements of numerous industrial applications. By virtue of being modular, they are available as complete products or as separate components. The XB4 block when complete is made up of a metal chromium metal bezel and is often accompanied by two NC or NO switches. It has screw clamp terminals which are used to fix it onto a surface.

Uses of the Schneider Electric XB4 contact block

The Schneider Electric XB4 contact block is used alongside pushbuttons (single return/ multiple headed pushbuttons), emergency stop mushroom head buttons, selector switches, key switches, and pilot lights.

Features

  • Offers combined functions (contact and illuminated functionality)
  • Are available as either a complete unit or subassemblies for user convenience
  • Embodies screw clamp terminals, plug-in connector and spring clamp terminals.
  • Ingress protection (IP 66 and IP 69K)
  • UL and CE markings
  • Approved and certified for meeting the EN/IEC, UL, NEMA, CSA CCC, and JIS
  • Its screws are shake-proof (shock protection levels of up to IK06)
  • Operates between-40 °C to +70 °C

Installation

Once you have decided the kind of switch to couple with the Schneider Electric XB4 contact block, drill a hole of Ø 22 mm.
Loosen the screw of the Schneider Electric XB4 contact block. Insert the designated operator (push button, emergency switch, etc.) Fasten it onto the contact block.
Tighten the screw to fasten the assembly. It is recommended that you tighten the screw up to a maximum of 1.2 Nm.

Why use Schneider Electric XB4 contact block?

Durability

The XB4 contact block can withstand 1000000 electrical cycles at 3600 Cyc/h. From a mechanical perspective, it can withstand 5000000 cycles.

Sturdy

The contact block operates in temperatures of -40 °C to +70 °C. It also offers ingress protection of IP20 thus conforming to IEC 60529 requirements. It has a vibration resistance of 5 gn.
It also offers a shock resistance of 30gn for 18 ms, half-sine wave acceleration and 50 gn for 11 ms, half-sine wave acceleration hence it conforms to IEC 600668-2-27 requirements.

Versatile

It can be used alongside pushbuttons, mushroom head emergency stop buttons, selector switches, Key switches and pilot lights among others

Ease of installation

The contact block is easy to assemble and install. This reduces the installation time and cost as well.

Summary

Besides being robust, the Schneider Electric XB4 contact block is readily available at both local outlets and online stores. It can work well in many environments and offers a reasonable life span. As such, its popularity is expected to grow going forward.

Little Know more about Brush-less Motors

Image
Brushless motors Brushless differs from conventional dc motors in the sense that it does not have brushes. Commutation is done using electronic drives to feed power to the stator windings. They consist of a rotor which is in the form of a permanent magnet and a stator that is in the form of polyphase armature windings. A  brushless DC motor  can be constructed in two ways; one is by placing the rotor outside the core and the other is by placing the rotor inside the core. How a brushless motor works Brushless motors are driven by electronic drives that  switch  the supply voltage between the stator windings while the rotor turns. There is a transducer that monitors the position of the rotor as it turns and conveys the information to an electronic controller. The controller then decides which stator winding to be energized based on the position of the rotor. Electronic drives are made up of two transistors each phase which is run by a microprocessor. The magnetic field i

LED Modules: Manufacturer,Types and Application

Image
LED Modules Light-emitting diodes (LED) modules are LED self-contained devices that are designed to either function on its own or to plug into a compatible unit. These modules are mostly used in the development of both energy-efficient and portable lighting.  An LED contains several LED bulbs that are connected to a fixture that contains a battery or an alternative power supply which powers all the bulbs contained therein. LED modules can either emit white light or emit different colours based on the material they are made of. They are prominently used for advertising and signages but could as well be used for other purposes due to their versatility. Types of LED modules There are a variety of LED modules available in the market. There no specific parameters that can be used to categorize LED modules . They can be categorized in terms of efficiency, form, CCT, colour among others. Some of the common ones used in signage and advertising include; Side LED modules

Block-chain: A Complete Beginners Guide | Block Chain Technology

Image
Blockchain technology Blockchain technology is barely three decades old, but it has completely changed global money transfer as we know it. It was first conceived in 1991 by a group of researchers who originally intended it to be used to timestamp digital documents to make it impossible to tamper with them. This concept was first put into actual use in 2009 by Satoshi Takamoto to create Bitcoin. Bitcoin has since spurred the adoption of  blockchain technology  for cryptocurrency, medical records, and land records among others.  What is blockchain? A blockchain is a network of computers that share a digital ledger that is duplicated and distributed across all participants in the network (nodes). That is to say that each node on the network has a duplicate copy of the ledger. The digital ledger keeps a chain of transactions since the creation of the network. The chain of transactions keeps growing as new blocks of transactions are approved and then added along. Before a new
