A leading designer and manufacturer of central vacuum systems in the residential and commercial market required a low frequency power transformer that offers good heat dissipation, in a compact size, with a UL class II rating. The application also required protection from dust and lint which could present a fire hazard.

ZETTLER Magnetics’ 1VA BV series encapsulated transformer was ideally suited for this application, meeting all of the above requirements with the added bonus of costing less than an equivalent laminated transformer.

The BV series’ epoxy encapsulation provides superior isolation and heat dissipation. With small physical dimensions, yet still meeting UL’s stringent class II standards, this transformer is suitable for a wide range of industrial control applications.

Zettler Magnetics Switch-Mode Power Supply Module used in Smart Energy Home Applications

Posted on by

Application Spotlight APRIL 2017

New forms of convenient solutions for smart energy and lighting are being developed rapidly. Applications of this kind require intelligent, robust and energy-saving power supplies.

Recently, an industry leading provider of innovative and reliable indoor and outdoor lighting and controls solutions worked with ZETTLER Magnetics on the design of a USB “Type C” wall socket that combines a traditional electric outlet with USB charging receptacles. ZETTLER Magnetics provided a 3 Watt Switch-Mode Power Supply (SMPS) module with a wide 90-305VAC input capability and a 85 C ambient temperature rating as the appropriate power supply solution. The device contains UL approved tamper resistant shutters to ensure compliance with the 2011 NEC Article 406.12, requiring all 125V receptacles in dwelling units to be tamper resistant.

ZETTLER’s new HP series high performance 1 Watt to 3 Watt power supplies are specifically designed to deliver universal and energy saving capabilities required in many new smart energy market applications. These high efficiency plug-and-play solutions for low power applications are cost effectively manufactured by ZETTLER Magnetics China fully automated lines.

ZETTLER Magnetics expands Line of Switch-Mode Power Supply Modules

Posted on by

Company introduces High Performance SMPS series and patent-pending Zero-Cross features.

NEWS RELEASE

SMPS Zettler Magnetics

Aliso Viejo, CA, USA/Xiamen, China/ Hong Kong/Munich, Germany – April 4, 2017 – ZETTLER Magnetics announces the expansion of its successful line of AC-DC switch-mode power supply modules (SMPS) by introducing a special high-performance series.

In addition to the well-established benefits of the regular Zettler SMPS series that include easy plug-and-play, compact encapsulated design, universal input range, and ultra-low power consumption, the high performance HP series will feature extra wide ambient temperature capability, and an extended life time of MTBF> 1 million hours.

The HP series will initially be available for 1W-3 W output power, with various output voltages, and an extended input voltage range of 85VAC-305VAC.

A special subset of the new HP series, the ‘X-Series’, features a patent pending zero-cross detection and monitoring capability, which supports increased efficiency of power Thyristor circuits and extended component life time, e.g. for relays, if switching occurs at zero-crossing. In addition, certain sensing applications, such as those found in the ‘smart home’ market, require the elimination of 50/60 Hz noise which the zero-cross feature can help accomplish by synchronizing built-in A/D converters with the mains frequency.

Zettler Magnetics SMPS are deployed in a wide range of applications such as Smart Home controls, wireless switching, lighting controls (incl. LED boards), Test and Measurement devices such as smart meters, as well as a variety of White Goods and Appliances.

Zettler Magnetics has published a comprehensive Product PDF for its SMPS product lines that can be accessed and downloaded at: www.zettlermagnetics.com/encapsulated-switch-mode-power-modules/product-program/

ZETTLER Magnetics – Application Spotlight, March 2017

BV Series - Encapsulated Power Transformers
A worldwide technology leader and manufacturer of electric meters required Zettler Magnetics’ assistance in the development of an encapsulated linear power transformer for a residential electric meter. While the industry standard for meter surge protection generally is 8kV, this customer required 10 kV.

Through creative engineering, Zettler Magnetics was able to actually achieve a repeatable 12 KV surge resistance with a version of its cost effective, Class 2 recognized BV series of encapsulated power transformers.

This breakthrough engineering effort on behalf of the customer improved and exceeded
industry ratings, winning Zettler Magnetics a considerable amount of repeat business
with this large account.

Posted on by

Zettler is offering competitively priced sealed transformer solutions with Class 2 UL ratings – featuring smaller footprints and reduced heat emission for applications such as LED Lighting, Electric Metering, Motor Controls and Thermostats.

Aliso Viejo, California November 09, 2015

Engineers working on applications in LED Lighting, Electric Metering, Motor controls and Thermo Controls keep asking for transformer solutions with smaller footprints, less heat emission at lower prices, and, of course, a Class 2 UL rating.

BV Series - Encapsulated Power Transformers

Zettler Magnetics, a company with years of development experience in the design of encapsulated linear power transformers is responding to these requests with its top-of-class BV series of sealed transformers.

Zettler’s BV series encapsulated Class 2 UL rated transformers:

  • Deliver significant reduction in physical footprint compared to traditional open frame formats.
  • Have superior thermal characteristics that make them run up to 5 degrees C cooler in continuous duty, and up to 40 degrees C cooler in surge testing than previous generations, due to ultra-high winding efficiency and vacuum-sealed epoxy processes.
  • Feature an unrivaled 14kV surge withstand capability based on a patent pending Zettler split-bobbin design.
  • Provide minimized EMI noise without the added cost of a shield, as a result of proprietary assembly methods employed at Zettler Group’s China wholly owned manufacturing facilities.

With output loads ranging from 0.6-10VA, Zettler Magnetics’ BV series is perfect for a wide range of products including thermostats, lighting controls, and oxygen concentrators. Dielectric strength is 4200Vrms, and external insulation is optional for increased dielectric withstand between the component and the PCB. Zettler BV transformers are also ideally suited for the alternative energy market – Solar inverters and smart grid meters are just two possible applications.

Zettler’s highly automated production lines makes the BV series price competitive when compared to similarly-sized open frame models. BV series pricing starts under $1.00 in 10K quantities.

Samples are available on request. For more information, please visit our BV series webpage at /encapsulated-power
