POWER ELECTRONICS EUROPE 2009-2010

Power Electronics Europe has sponsored and will hand over for the
second time the Best Paper Award at the PCIM 2009 opening
ceremony. The awardee will be invited to participate at PCIM China
2010, including flight and accomodation.
The best paper has been selected by the PCIM Conference
directors and the winner is Benjamin Sahan from the University of
Kassel (Germany) with the paper ‘Photovoltaic converter topologies
suitable for SiC-JFETs’.

Varistors Satisfy the Extended UL 1449 Standard

In recent years, the European electrical and electronics industry has reworked the safety
standards for surge protective devices (SPDs) several times – in some cases with
significant changes: thus the first edition of EN 60950-1 specified the mandatory use of
surge suppressors. They additionally had to satisfy the then applicable UL 1449 standard
on transient voltage surge suppressors (TVSS).
The second edition of EN 60950-1 stipulates that a varistor used in a primary circuit
must satisfy either IEC 61051-2 or the new UL 1449 3rd Edition.
