Atom Power Digital Circuit Breaker Receive UL Recognition
December 23, 2019
Atom Power’s Generation 2 Atom Switch is now UL recognized to UL 489I — the standard listing for solid-state circuit breakers. In May 2019, the Generation 1 Atom Switch was the first of its kind Listed to UL 489I.
The next generation of Atom Power’s technology contains the company’s own proprietary Silicon Carbide (SiC) Power Modules, which doubles the performance as compared to the Generation 1 Atom Switch.
Atom Power is the first company to use Wide Band Gap (WBG) semiconductors in commercially available solid state circuit breakers, and the only company to manufacture SiC semiconductor modules specifically for use in circuit protection. The SiC Power Modules — models SWXFT100CPM and SWXFT50CPM — are UL Recognized to UL 1557.
Atom Power’s intelligent product suite includes its digital circuit breakers (Atom Switches), distribution panels (Atom Panels) and software (Atom OS), forming the fastest power distribution system ever, enabling circuit interruption capabilities up to 150,000-amps. A single Atom Switch replaces the need for more than 100 products used in commercial power today and mitigates explosions from electrical faults like never before.
- Increased interrupting rating
- Additional firmware capability, including new internal self-diagnostic and enhanced maintenance functions
- Significantly-reduced manufacturing time — 10-times faster to assemble than Generation 1
