The near future for EV charging applications is mainly based on fast, ultra-fast, and hyper-fast chargers. Therefore, there is an increasing need for reliable and accurate metering systems to avoid the outdated “charge-by-time method” or the upstream AC meters which can make the end user also pay for the system power losses. The DCT1 is Carlo Gavazzi’s first and most suitable response to this need. A very flexible, simple, compact, and easy-to-integrate solution for energy measurement in fast chargers.

Bourns, Inc. has recently announced its new Model 1260 Series Surge Protective Devices (SPDs). These AC hybrid SPDs are designed with an advanced MG (MOV + GDT technology) architecture that delivers enhanced reliability and safety protection due to the architecture’s no leakage or follow-on current features. Bourns developed its latest series of hybrid SPDs as an optimum protection solution for electrical service entrances, branch panels, heavy industrial systems, EV charging stations or virtually any power circuit in installations without Lightning Protection Systems (LPS)/lightning rods.
RS is a trusted partner for navigating the complexities of the energy and utilities industry and offers a comprehensive suite of solutions designed to address the industry’s modernization and safety challenges. The energy and utilities industry is comprised of two main sectors: the energy sector, which includes processes related to the exploration, extraction, production, transportation, and distribution of oil and gas products made from hydrocarbon reserves, and the utilities sector, which encompasses the operation and management of utilities including power, water, natural gas, and wastewater.
Littelfuse, Inc. has recently launched its Class J Fuse Disconnect Switch. The compact device combines a switch and multiple fuses into a single product offering a simpler way to manually open and close a circuit while safeguarding against overcurrent and short circuits. When the switch detects an overload or short circuit, the fuse blows automatically to open or break the circuit both upstream and downstream and shuts off the equipment.
Introducing the PCJ series Type 4X polycarbonate junction box with both solid and clear non-metallic latch covers, designed to insulate and protect controls and components in both indoor and outdoor conditions. These enclosures are ideal for industrial pump controls, waste water, and irrigation control along with solar/wind power and chemical plants.
The 4230 is a thermal-magnetic Miniature Circuit Breaker (MCB) in an industry standard footprint in accordance with DIN 43880. Its conformity with the relevant standards IEC 60947-2 and UL1077 makes the 4230-T ideally suitable for worldwide use. Due to its high rupture capacity of 63 A, the 4230-T is suitable for use as a supplementary protector. Later product extensions by add-on modules such as an auxiliary contact module or a working current module offer high flexibility for the user.
RS is now stocking all four of the new electric vehicle (EV) sensor series recently launched by Honeywell. While U.S. EV adoption continues to lag in comparison to China and Europe, with EVs still accounting for less than 1% of the 279 million cars and light trucks registered in the U.S., EVs made up 5.6% of all new U.S. car registrations in 2022, which is up from 3.1% in 2021 and just 1.8% in 2020. One reason for this recent market growth is that EV manufacturers have released both more and more affordable vehicles.
