Rolec Launches Technobox Plastic Enclosures

Rolec has introduced the Technobox range of plastic enclosures designed for modern electronics and electrical equipment. The housings include a bevelled lid, clean lines and easy assembly. The Technobox range is available in seven standard sizes with external dimensions from 66 x 51 x 35mm to 241 x 161 x 80mm, and is moulded in halogen-free ABS or, on request, polycarbonate. The standard colour is light grey, RAL 7035, and special colours can also be moulded on demand.

With a protection class of IP66, and fully insulated to VDE 0100, this range of enclosures is said to be ideal for housing different types of indoor or outdoor industrial electronics and electrical equipment. The lid is recessed to allow easy location of a membrane keypad, front panel or polycarbonate product label. All internal and external fastening points are compatible with industry standard dimensions.

Internal screw pillars can be used for fitting mounting plates, PCBs and terminal assemblies. The sides can also be easily machined for cable glands. Accessories include mounting plates, external mounting brackets, front panels, feet, lid hinges and terminal rails. Rolec can customise these enclosures with holes and cut-outs, silk-screen printing and more to provide a fully finished enclosure ready for mounting the components and assemblies.

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...

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...

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.
