Our Company has moved

After being housed for 33 years at the Kalkovenweg 12 in Alphen aan den Rijn
it became inevitable that the time had come to move to a new building
which would better suit our present needs.


After a thorough full search we found a new housing in the
Champestate Business Centre.
From the down floor with an own special entrance for deliveries, we will serve our customers
in the best possible way.
From the first of November 2009 you can find us at the right wing from the main entrance.

Our new address:

Ondernemingsweg 66-H
2404 HN Alphen a/d Rijn.


Telephone, fax en P.O. box remain unchanged.

Test system
for
Solar Inverters
 

The product range of Spitzenberger & Spies among others, contains a complete test system for solar inverters, including mains simulation with power feedback unit and a PV-simulator (PV = photo voltaic).
The fast PV-simulator imitates the solar panel and because the properties of these panels can be programmed it is possible to simulate several types and their exact characteristics. Both stable and variable conditions can be set up in advance.
Because of this these conditions can be reproduced and are available for EMC-measurements. The output of the solar inverter is linked to the mains simulation unit which carries out the emission and immunity tests according to EN-standards. The recovery unit ensures a considerably low heat generation so the test system is suitable for testing inverters from low power up to more than 100 kW.
The 4-quadrant amplifier of the PAS-series, with specifications mentioned below is the basic principle for the mains simulation:
- very low harmonic distortion, even under extreme non-lineair conditions;
- short rise time of > 52 V/ms (slew rate > 5 m at 230 Vrms in accordance with EN61000-4-11);
- large band width from DC to 5 kHZ (- 3 dB), which can be optionally extended up to 30 kHz
- band width for small signals up to 50 or 100 kHz;
- low internal impedance of 2mOhms.
This system is an ARS (analyser reference system) for the analysis of harmonics and flicker in accordance with IEC 61000-3-2 and IEC 61000-3-3. The digital flickermeter meets the requirements of IEC 61000-4-15 and the real time harmonics analyser is in accordance with
IEC 61000-4-7. Flicker measurement is done on two channels and is equipped with a calibrated mains impedance network. In particular for currents > 16 amps a mains impedance simulation is available. To be able to measure correctly on solar inverters (but also other sources such as wind generators, CHP's etc. that supply energy back to the grid) and in accordance with the current standards, the simulation system must be able to process high currents. The power feedback unit of the PVS, brings about an increase of the absorbed power by means of energy recovery. It behaves like a resistor which is always exactly high enough to absorb energy which is generated by the E.U.T. This adaptation to optimum value occurs in less than 1mS.
The energy is lead back to the mains with a high efficiency ratio.

JDSU Fiberscope
 

Inspection of the fibre and cleaning the connectors are critical actions with optical fibre networks, certainly for 10 G connections and even higher speeds. Through acquisition of Westover, JDSU has gained a complete range of solutions for inspection of fibre components for system suppliers, communication services and contractors for both in- and outdoor networks.
The current initiatives and investments with FTTH have an interest in keeping the service quality in competition with the telecom-operator and cable suppliers at a reliable level. Optical control inspection and cleaning of the connections are essential for these services.
With the product-port folio of Westover JDSU incorporates an extension on their test and measurement range that meets the demands of increasing band widths and desired reliability.
As partner of JDSU, Air-Parts B.V. provides these solutions which improve performance.

New range of Power Supplies
 

We are happy to inform you that F.u.G. recently introduced a new range of power supplies for low, middle and high voltage.

The NCN series

The NCN series is a low voltage power supply which is developed consistent with the latest technologies.
The NCN series is available in 6 different versions with power ratings of 1250, 2500 or 5000 Watts.
Output voltages are 0 to 30 or 0 to 50 volts.

The MCP series

The MCP series is the successor of the MCL and the MCN range.
No concessions have been done regarding quality and ease of use. Of the 42 different models, the output voltage can vary between 0 and 2000 volts with power ratings of 35 to 4200 Watts! The outputs of these power supplies are "floating".
The positive or the negative output can be connected to ground.

The HCP series

The HCP series succeeds the successful HCL and HCN high voltage range.
In this range no less than 52 models are available, so there is always an appropriate supply for your high voltage application.
The ouput voltage is adjustable from 0 to 150000 volts at powers up to 4200 Watts!
New on the HCP series is the possibility for electronic polarity reversal up to 35 kV.
All F.u.G power supplies can be controlled locally as well as remote by means of digital RS 232; RS 485 and/or IEEE interfaces. New is RS422, the USB and LAN interfaces. Moreover analog control and read out are also possible.

RF Shieldbox from Willtek
 

- Willtek Communications announced the 4933 RF Shield, supporting radiation and quality measurements at large radio transceivers, notebook PCs and other electronic equipment. It combines a high shielding factor with easy access to the unit under test. The new device from Willtek's successful RF Shield series is immediately available.
The 4933 RF Shield attenuates signals from outside or even inside by a high degree. The attenuation, in conjunction with the RF connector, enables radio frequency and quality engineers to measure the radiation of the device under test in an EMC prequalification test, without the need to rent a large anechoic shielded chamber. Other applications include transceiver tests in a controlled environment.
Tom Riedl, product manager at Willtek, said, "The 4933 RF Shield is the result of our experience with smaller shielding devices for the mobile phone market, and also of our market research on shielded chambers for other applications such as radio meters, notebook PCs and bulkier devices. Based on our good reputation in the cellular business, we have been asked to design something larger that overcomes the disadvantages of existing offerings."
Willtek's 4933 RF Shield comes with a solenoid lock and a control panel displaying the status of the lock. Thanks to a USB interface, an external PC can read the status and even release the lock remotely.
