Ro-Linx laminated busbars get UL746C rating
Rogers
Ro-Linx laminated busbars
Rogers has announced that it has been granted an Underwriters Laboratories (UL) rating for its Ro-Linx laminated busbars.
The Ro-Linx laminated busbars are used in industrial drives, mass transit, and alternative-energy power-distribution systems.
The laminated busbars are a critical component in medium-to-high power variable-speed drives in these systems.
Rogers said its components are designed to achieve higher efficiency by limiting switching losses.
In addition, the UL746C rating provides the assurance of safety and reliability.
Previously, busbars and other power-conversion components had been limited to the UL94 safety rating for flammability.
The UL746C rating encompasses UL94, but also covers hot-wire resistance to ignition, high-current arc resistance to ignition, comparative tracking index, and relative thermal index safety areas.
In addition, Rogers, in conjunction with Element Six, will introduce Heatwave Alsic D3 technology as a solution to their existing thermal management products.
The Alsic D3 thermal materials are based on Element Six's silicon-cemented diamond technology combined with aluminium encapsulation.
The thermal-management materials, which are well suited to 3D designs, feature high thermal conductivity and low coefficient of thermal expansion.
