SCHURTER White Paper Highlights Power Entry Module Considerations

This new White Paper by SCHURTER emphasizes the necessity of carefully addressing power dissipation and temperature dating 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, main switches, fuse holders 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, fuse holders, 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.
