SCHURTER White Paper: Key Considerations for Power Entry Modules Unveiled

As the demand for safe and efficient power solutions for equipment grows, SCHURTER is committed to addressing the impact of power loss as it relates to Power Entry Modules (PEMs). This new White Paper emphasizes the necessity of carefully addressing power dissipation and temperature deratings for all PEM related components to ensure long-term safe operation.

PEMs, crucial for the safe power supply of devices, integrate various components such as IEC appliance inlet connectors, mains switches, fuseholders or circuit breakers, and filters. Each component undergoes rigorous testing according to respective standards, enabling certification by regulatory bodies.

The White Paper highlights the importance of considering ambient temperatures inside and outside the appliance, particularly concerning components such as fuses, fuseholders, and circuit breakers. Through meticulous testing and measurement methodologies, SCHURTER ensures that temperature deratings are correctly applied, guaranteeing the long-lasting and secure operation of PEMs.
