TE connectivity smart city lighting solutions

Smart Cities

Spending on Smart cities is estimated to reach $34.5 billion this year, up from $14.5 billion in 2015. So, what exactly are smart cities? Why are they such huge investments? Smart Cities are urban setups that can collect electronic data from the residents and use the same to manage the available resources efficiently. One of the critical resources that require efficient management is electricity. Lighting has proved to be a major consumer of electricity, hence the need for smart lighting solutions to ensure efficient use of electricity. TE Connectivity smart lighting solutions offer you exactly that.

TE Connectivity product portfolio

Following its passion for innovation and long-standing experience in global manufacturing, TE connectivity has come up with numerous smart city lighting solutions. These solutions can be categorized as;

Indoor lighting solutions

TE Connectivity has a wide range of solutions for indoor lighting which can be grouped in terms of PCB and wire connectors, power distribution, LED connectors and photocontrol. They come in various current and voltage ratings. They also have different operating temperatures and wire ranges. These various products offer various modes of connection ranging from wire to board, wire to wire, or board to board. The indoor lighting solutions all to different standards. PCB and connectors have been manufactured to meet UL, IEC, or CSA standards accordingly. LED connectors have been manufactured according to UL, IEC or Zhaga standards. The power distribution solutions all have IP sealing of IP67.
These indoor solutions can be used to implement numerous intelligent lighting systems within smart cities. This is not just limited to conventional lighting. They can also be used to implement specialty lighting, for instance, in the case of indoor greenhouses.

Mid-Power LEDs: Less Expensive for LED Lights

Image
  Mid-power LEDs Do you see that sleek, ultra-thin HD TV set in front of you? Well, its existence has been made possible by mid-power LEDs. Which can be  powered the shift from old cold CRT backlight TV. These are tiny LEDs measuring a few millimeters square. Courtesy of their size and weight, hundreds of them can be fitted unto a single light source but still weigh less than 250 grams. They can be pa packaged densely compared to high-power white LEDs. They offer relatively high-power white LEDs and a more uniform appearance. They also consume less power. Mid-power is for many reasons touted as the best alternative for LED lighting. High-power, mid-power, and low power LEDs To get a better grasp on mid-power LEDs is important to understand the three classifications of LEDs Low power They were the earliest LEDs in the market and were mostly used for indicator lights and identifying the status of machine condition. High power They are costly thus were initially used for research. Comme

An Introduction to Brushless Direct Current (BLDC) Motors

Image
The growing popularity Has your phone vibrated today? Well then, you just experienced a  brushless DC (BLDC) motor  in action.  BLDC motors  are synchronous motors that are powered by direct current through a drive module or controller. BLDC motors have witnessed rapid growth in popularity owing to their construction that makes them superior to the brushed counterparts. BLDC motor construction Rotor The rotor is made up of permanent magnets and its number of poles (North and South poles) varies from two to eight pairs. The permanent magnets are made from ferrite magnets. However, permanent magnets made from rare earth alloys are increasingly becoming popular owing to the advancement in technology. Rare earth alloys offer more magnetic density per volume while enabling the rotor to compress further for the same amount of torque. Such alloys also improve the size to weight ratio. There are two rotor designs for BLDC motors; the inner rotor and the outer rotor design. I

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
