Electrical equipment that can be moved
while in operation faces a danger that the power cord can be unintentionally
pulled out of the unit. The sudden loss of power can have serious consequences
when it comes to equipment used in medical analysis, portable instruments,
professional A/V applications or equipment in the foodstuffs industry.
Plug-retention safeguards can prevent
this. Conventional plug-retention systems consist of safety brackets mounted on
the power plug. Depending on the type of equipment and because of the many
types and shapes of power sockets they have, it is important to select the
correct bracket shape.
With the V-Lock system, SCHURTER
offers a simple, attractive alternative. With V-Lock, the power connector is
equipped with a pin that interlocks with a special notch in the inlet on the
power cord and thus reliably prevents the cord from being pulled out
unintentionally. The lock is released by pressing a finger on the disengaging
lever. This lever is easily identified due to its bright yellow color, a
feature that also distinguishes this scheme from conventional pluggable power
supply systems.
SCHURTER has a whole range of products
with the V-lock systems for a safe and secure
alternative
Power Entry Modules with V-Lock and
line filter also come in medical versions. There are various combinations
available with switches, circuit breakers, fuse holders and voltage selectors.
Power inlets and outlets with V-Lock that
meet international standards are available for 10 A and 16 A.
Power cords with country-specific
plugs with a rated current of 10 A are available in these lengths: 1.5, 2.0,
3.0 and 5.0 m.
Interconnection cords with a rated
current of 10 A are available in these lengths: 0.6, 1.2, 1.5 and 2.0 m.
