FEATURE DETAILS

The MAX® 5300 provides protection against common problems on the AC power line. This includes spikes/surges and sustained overvoltages or undervoltages. Panamax’s exclusive Protect or Disconnect™ circuitry is designed to protect against spikes/surges while the SurgeGate Plus™ circuitry is for sustained over/under voltage protection.

Protect or Disconnect™ AC Surge Protection

1.Voltage reaches an unsafe level.

2.If surge is greater than MAX ® 5300 capacity, it disconnects.

When the MAX® 5300 is subjected to a high voltage surge, its voltage output is limited to a safe level and the high levels of surge current are diverted away from the connected equipment.

•When subjected to a 6,000V (open circuit voltage) / 500A (short circuit current) surge, the MAX® 5300 limits its voltage output to less than 330V peak, UL’s lowest rating. The MAX® 5300 will withstand, without damage, multiple 12,000A surges, far exceeding the UL maximum requirement of only 3,000 Ampere surges.

•If the magnitude of the surge is greater than the capacity of the surge protection components, the MAX® 5300’s Protect or Disconnect™ Circuitry will disconnect your equipment in order to protect it. The MAX® 5300

will need to be repaired or replaced by Panamax if this occurs.

1.Voltage reaches an unsafe high level and the SurgeGate Plus™ disconnects.

2.Voltage reaches a safe level and SurgeGate Plus™ automatically reconnects.

3.Voltage reaches an unsafe low level and SurgeGate Plus™ disconnects.

4.Voltage reaches a safe level and SurgeGate Plus™ automatically reconnects.

SurgeGate Plus™ Protection

The MAX® 5300 constantly monitors the AC line voltage for unsafe voltage conditions such as prolonged overvoltages and undervoltages (brownouts). These unsafe conditions pose a very dangerous threat to all electronic equipment within the home. If the MAX® 5300 senses an unsafe power condition, it will automatically disconnect your equipment from the power to protect equipment from damage. Once the voltage returns to a safe level, the MAX® 5300 will automatically reconnect the power.

If the line voltage exceeds the overvoltage threshold (137VAC) or falls below the undervoltage threshold (95VAC), the MAX® 5300 will perform the following tasks until line voltage returns to a safe level:

1.Disconnects power to all connected equipment.

2.Unsafe Voltage LED is activated and will blink once per second during the unsafe voltage condition.

The MAX® 5300 requires line voltage to return to within the safe operating range for 10 seconds before returning to normal operating mode. This is referred to as “Over/Undervoltage Recovery”. The safe operating range is considered 5V above the under-voltage threshold (~100V) and 5V below the overvoltage threshold (~132V). Once this safe operating range is reached, the MAX® 5300 will perform the following functions:

1.Unsafe Voltage LED will blink 4 times per second for Over/Undervoltage Recovery.

2.Power is restored to all connected equipment after the 10-second delay. The normal start-up sequence as determined by the “High-Current Outlets Turn-On Switch” and “Outlet Bank 2 Turn-Off Switch” will be followed.

5300 specifications

The Panamax 5300 is a groundbreaking vessel that represents a significant advancement in the design and technology of bulk carriers. This class of ship, named after the maximum dimensions that can transit the Panama Canal, has been optimized for efficiency, safety, and environmental compliance.

One of the most notable features of the Panamax 5300 is its size. With a deadweight tonnage of approximately 53,000 tons, it has been engineered to maximize cargo capacity while adhering to the limitations imposed by the Panama Canal. Its dimensions typically include a length of around 225 meters, a breadth of approximately 32.3 meters, and a draft that allows for efficient navigation through the canal’s locks.

The vessel is equipped with advanced technologies designed to enhance operational efficiency. The Panamax 5300 often incorporates a fuel-efficient engine system, providing a notable reduction in fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. This aligns with the International Maritime Organization's (IMO) regulations on reducing emissions, ensuring that the vessel meets strict environmental standards.

In terms of cargo handling, the Panamax 5300 features state-of-the-art loading and unloading systems. Many of these ships come equipped with multiple cargo holds and efficient hatch cover systems, ensuring quick turnaround times during port operations. Furthermore, the vessel’s design allows for the safe transport of a variety of bulk cargoes, including grains, coal, and minerals.

Safety is another critical aspect of the Panamax 5300's design. The ship is built with reinforced hull structures and advanced stability systems that reduce the risk of capsizing in rough seas. Additionally, the vessel often incorporates modern navigation and communication systems, providing real-time data and situational awareness to the crew.

In terms of crew comfort and onboard technology, the Panamax 5300 is designed with modern living quarters and amenities to ensure a higher quality of life for the crew during voyages. Innovations in automation and control systems also minimize manual intervention, enhancing safety and efficiency during operations.

In summary, the Panamax 5300 is a versatile and technologically advanced vessel capable of meeting the demands of modern shipping. Its design prioritizes efficiency, environmental compliance, safety, and crew comfort, making it a valuable asset in the global trade network. As the maritime industry continues to evolve, the Panamax 5300 stands out as a prime example of innovation in bulk shipping.
