Cycle Electric

My emergency generator says “Cycle” “50″ on the generator. Does that mean it is not for 60 cycle electric?

I inherited an emergency Honda electrical generator.. the generator side is American made and looks very standard to me, but oddly enough, it says “Cycle 50″ on the generator. Now, I thought all electric in the US was 60 cycles per sectond. Why in the world does this say 50. Do I have an oddball thing here that is useless, or is this probably just a misprint or a misundestanding on my part.

As long as you are using it on a motor, assuming that it is 50hz, it should not cause any problems at all, the motor will run at a slightly reduced speed but you will probably not even notice the difference when it comes to the output pressure.

Cps the World Leader in Alsic Products Now Offers Pin Fin Coolers for Hybrid Electric Vehicle Igbt Power Modules

High reliability, CTE compatibility, and light weight, along with strength, and stiffness are key factors in the design of coolers for power modules in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEV) applications. CPS AlSiC coolers meet this challenge with optimum thermal performance and consistent reliability throughout the application life cycle.

Liquid cooling is the most effective way to dissipate heat (1 – 2KW) in HEV power module applications. CPS AlSiC coolers cost effectively offer the pin fin geometries that are required for effective liquid cooling. In addition, CPS AlSiC coolers provide an isotropic thermal expansion that is compatible with device/electronic substrate to reduce mechanically induced stresses during power thermal cycling for improved electronics and module reliability. The AlSiC device compatible thermal expansion (8 ppm/°C) simplifies IGBT assembly compared to Cu pin fin coolers (17 ppm/°C) thermal expansion, eliminating the need for stress compensation layers that increase thermal resistance, assembly complexity and module cost.

AlSiC is a lightweight material (1/3 that of Cu), which makes it an ideal cooler material for the weight-sensitive hybrid electric (HEV), electric vehicle (EV) application and in kinetic energy recovery systems (KERS). AlSiC also has higher strength and stiffness than Cu, which, combined with its lightweight nature, makes AlSiC coolers more tolerant of shock and vibration.

The CPS AlSiC fabrication process efficiently produces both the composite material and fabricates the product geometry in one process step. CPS can work with customers to provide designs that are fabricated to shape requiring no finished machining for very cost effective cooler production.
