Avalue Enhances EPS-AT270 For Harsh Conditions

Avalue has released the EPS-AT270-2PCI rugged box PC. The EPS-AT270-2PCI has two extra PCI card slots, satisfies all demands in industrial fields and is suitable for use in extreme environments. The fanless structure is based on air-flow theory; cold air entering the computer pushes the hot air generated by the system through an outlet. The top part of the chassis contains passive aluminium heat-dissipation fins, reducing material wastage and prolonging product lifetime.

The EPS-AT270-2PCI can withstand industrial operation environments of -15C and +60C temperatures. It can also withstand extreme environment conditions and drastic temperature variations depending on the location or region it is placed or used in. The EPS-AT270-2PCI features USB, COM, Express Card, GPIO and especially added PCI slots. These features meet an array of multi-equipment industrial-control connectivity usages.

The sufficient expansions can cope with the versatile connections demanded in industrial fields and meet the customer's needs. Product reliability and stability are certified by industrial product-quality tests, including anti-vibration of up to 5Grms and anti-shock of up to 50Grms tests.

The EPS-AT270 uses the industry-grade Phoenix Type or lockable power-connector plug, and supports a stable nine to 32V input. It is suitable for use in computers in industrial equipment and machines such as lifting gantry and forklift. The computer can also withstand tremors when it is being used on land transportations such as trains, extending and diversifying its applications.

What is Class I Division 2?

Image
A Class I Division 2 is a location: (1) In which volatile flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are handled, processed, or used, but in which the liquids, vapors, or gases will normally be confined within closed containers or closed systems from which they can escape only in case of accidental rupture or breakdown of such containers or systems or in case of abnormal operation of equipment, or (2) In which ignitable concentrations of flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are normally prevented by positive mechanical ventilation, and which might become hazardous through failure or abnormal operation of the ventilating equipment. Class I Division 2 Classification Class I Division 2 refers to the ANSI/ISA 12.12.01 standard. This standard was previously UL1604 until UL recommended the newer ANSI/ISA standard be used and that all hazardous location products be certified under this standa

FUSE SIZING CONSIDERATIONS FOR HIGHER EFFICIENCY MOTORS

Image
When selecting the proper fuse for short circuit protection in motor starting applications, it is important to not only ensure that the fuse will not nuisance open during motor start up times, but also that the fuse will coordinate as required with overload relays. When sizing fuses between 125% and 150% of the motor nameplate current, several advantages, including ease of coordination with an overload device, a smaller disconnect, and increased short circuit protection from a lower fuse rating, can be achieved. However, if sizing at this level prevents the motor from starting, it may then be necessary to increase the fuse ampere rating and it then becomes important to know the NEC sizing limitations. As of June 1, 2016, the US Department of Energy has mandated that newly manufactured electric motors will need to meet NEMA Premium® efficiency standards. As motor efficiencies increase, motor locked rotor currents can also be expected to increase. In addition to this, with across-the-lin

7/8 16UN Connectors that Provide 600 Volts and 15 Amps

TURCK announces new A-Size 3 and 4-pin 7/8 16UN powerfast™ connectors that provide up to 600 Volts and 15 Amps of power. These IP67 rated connectors provide a modular wiring system designed to handle high current applications for machine power distribution, while providing resistance to vibration commonly associated with conveyors, motors and material handling applications. The cordsets are available with a tray rated, exposed run PVC flexlife ® cable, with or without STOOW rating, and 14 AWG wires that allow you to replace hard wiring with a robust, quick disconnect system that saves the time and money spent installing a conduit system. The A-Size powerfast line offers male and female, straight connectors, standard and custom lengths, and pigtails or extensions. To make the system complete, fully encapsulated mating receptacles, with 1/2”-14 NPT mounting threads are available.
