WC-42
The WC-42 Low Voltage AC Yoke, complies with safety regulations in different parts of the World. .
These models are not used in North America due to the use of lower voltages (nominally 115 Volts), with excellent grounding systems on convenience (“Mains”) outlets. To ensure even greater safety, GFCI’s (Ground Fault Current Interrupters) are installed on Outdoor and in most Industrial Outlets, to further protect workers and the general public.
The WC-42 is based on the WC-6, and is supplied from a standard 42 Volt Power Supply (7.5 Amps Minimum), or Western Instruments PD-42 power supply ,with an input Voltage of 230/50.
The Switching System of the WC-42 is designed to handle these higher amperages, with a greater degree of reliability. The electronic module used in the WC-42 is only able to operate from an AC power supply, thus DC is not an option.
Due to the nature of the intended environment, a confined space, the AC Field provides an ease of use and maximum particle mobility. The 42 Power Supply permits a minimum 4.6kg (10 pound) lift when supplying a low voltage AC current to the WC-42 Yoke.
