Esab Introduces Origo Tech 9-13 Welding Helmets

Esab's Origo Tech 9-13 range of welding helmets, masks and screens offer superior face, head, ear and neck protection. They are available in striking high-gloss colours and feature the Esab comfort headgear with a lightweight shell. Since they offer higher levels of security for the wearer, it is possible to use the Origo Tech 9-13 to weld in all positions. The Esab variable-shade ADF is screwed into a slightly curved cradle designed to seal out dangerous levels of light.

The front spatter lens is also curved for extra strength and security. The external shade-adjustment varies between DIN 9 and 13, which can be adjusted from inside the helmet. The helmet is suitable for MIG/MAF, MMA and TIG (more than 20A) welding. The 0700 000 296 model is primarily black and the 0700 000 298 helmet is mostly yellow. The Origo Tech 9-13 comes in an Esab display box, fully assembled and ready to use.

Also available from Esab is a comfortable, lightweight and durable battery-powered respiratory unit designed to snugly fit the Origo Tech welding helmets. This offers the welder clean, filtered air in some of the most challenging welding conditions, resulting in increased comfort and safety for the welder. The Origo Air comes with an eight-hour battery, P3 filter, comfort pad, waist belt and an air hose with a fitted Proban hose cover.

Every Origo Air comes with an intelligent charger to ensure prolonged battery life and reduce the risk of over-charging. The battery-powered air filter is also equipped with a low-flow alarm that makes a noise when it is blocked or the battery is running low.

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.
