Phihong Develops Gigabit-Compatible 21W Splitter

Phihong has developed a 21W splitter that has outputs of 10W over Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) to a powered device such as an IP camera and 12W DC to an accessory device such as a heater or illuminator. Designated the POE21-120H, this device takes power from a Phihong IEEE802.3at-compliant mid-span for use with low-power IP cameras and adjacent devices for use in security systems and access controls.

So far, PoE has been successful in deploying security equipment to locations without the need for additional power supplies, but it has not addressed the problem of powering multiple devices in a single location, according to Keith Hopwood, vice-president of marketing for Phihong USA. The POE21-120H splitter will now provide 10W to power a PoE camera as well as a 12W heater from a single Ethernet cable. The new splitter takes its power from a Phihong IEEE802.3at mid-span such as the POE36U-1AT or POE576U-AT series.

The device splits off power for the heater and passes the remaining power and data through to the camera; as a result, the splitter may only power IEEE802.3af devices requiring up to 10W of power. This gigabit-compatible splitter features a non-vented case with a diagnostic light-emitting diode to indicate connection and power. The unit also complies with SELV and LPS and has over-voltage, over-current and short-circuit protection. Pricing for the POE21-120H starts at USD57.18 (GBP38.26) in single-unit quantities.

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.
