Tregaskiss Enhances TGX Semi-Automatic MIG Guns

Tregaskiss has improved the look and flexibility of its line of TGX semi-automatic MIG guns. Designed for light- to medium-duty welding applications, the following TGX MIG guns are available: XL 400A, XL300A, XS 300A, XS 260A and XS 180A. Suitable for light fabrication, hobbyist welding and repairs, the guns complement the company's Tough Gun MIG guns, which are designed for more demanding, higher-amperage welding applications.

TGX MIG guns now feature a black polymer armoured-style gooseneck that is suitable for light- and medium-duty applications and new grey gun handles, black triggers and a new rear handle. Available in three standard lengths of 10ft (3m), 12ft and 15ft, all TGX MIG guns now also feature Tregaskiss's Tough Lock retaining heads with dual taper technology. The Tough Lock system is designed to keep consumables running cooler and lasting longer.

A TGX MIG gun is recommended for customers who answer 'yes' to one or more of the following: the welding gun will be used in light- to medium-duty welding applications with intermittent arc-on times; the welding gun will be used in a light fabrication or repair or a hobby-welding environment; a gun cable is required that is less than 15ft; or a MIG gun customised with special triggers, goosenecks or consumables is not required.

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.
