APPLICATION NOTE Greenhouses application lamp starting solution MS132-...L lamp starters with AF16-...L/AF26-...L lamp contactors Control cabinets in greenhouses are rarely ventilated, suffer from limited space and the electrical components are exposed to aggressive substances. ABBs lamp starting solution for assimilation lighting makes sure that plants in greenhouse thrive underneath artificial light without disturbances. The lamp starting combination was developed especially for control cabinets in greenhouses. The lamp starter combination consists of a MS132-...L lamp starter and an AF16-...L/AF26-...L lamp contactor. It can be mounted on a rail adapter which can be snapped on the busbar energy distribution system typically used in the setup of a greenhouse assimilation cabinet. Because of the high ambient temperature and aggressive substances in the greenhouses atmosphere it is not common to ventilate the control cabinet. Due to this, the temperature in the control cabinet can be high, which is demanding for the electrical components. The lamp starter combination has a very low heat dissipation, contributing to an acceptable temperature in the cabinet. The temperature compensation of the lamp starter allows suitable overload protection depending on the ambient temperature of the control cabinet in the greenhouse. 10 % less heat generation Compact size The new components guarantee a lower heat The lamp starter combination has a reduced generation. The lamp starter generates size - the width of the rail adapter was reduced 10 percent less heat and the contactor even by 17 percent (9 mm) to 54 mm in comparison 20 percent less. The lamp starter is able to to the old solution. The lamp starter and the automatically compensate the temperature up lamp contactor have a width of 45 mm. Because to 60 C without influencing the characteristics. of this, there is an air cap of 4,5 mm on each side The MS132-20L is up to 100 kA short-circuit with the advantage of an optimized thermal proof at 400V. This is useful as the control distribution. panels in a greenhouse complex are placed relatively close to the transformers, which require high short-circuit current protection. 2CDC131107M0201 Rev.
