Transducer Ideal For Lab And Metrology Equipment

LEM has introduced a high-accuracy ITL 900 current transducer for precise measurement and control of currents in industrial, medical and instrumentation applications. The ITL 900 current transducer has been designed for precise measurement of DC, AC and pulsed currents up to +/-900A The ITL 900 provides linearity error of less than or equal to 3ppm over an operating temperature range of +10C to +50C, offset stability over four hours of less than 0.5ppm, offset current temperature coefficient (TCIOE) of less than 0.3ppm/K.

The transducer offers a measurement bandwidth of more than 200kHz (-3dB), allowing fast current transients to be accurately measured. Other advantages include negligible self-magnetisation, a current overload capability, and galvanic isolation between the high-power primary circuit and the electronic secondary circuit. The ITL 900 also has very low output noise, with random noise less than 15uAtrms and coherent noise of less than 50uAtrms at 50Hz or 60Hz. It works on an internal clock that can also be synchronised to an external clock signal, increasing immunity to periodic noise. The transducer is based on a double fluxgate closed-loop technology that has been adapted and improved by LEM.

Conventional transducers, based on open-loop (uncompensated) Hall effect technology, cannot provide the extremely low non-linearity error, very low noise floor or low thermal offset drift required in many applications such as high-performance gradient amplifiers for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or precision current regulated devices such as high-accuracy power supplies, test bench power analysis calibration equipment, and laboratory and metrology equipment. The ITL 900 is CE marked and is supplied with a five-year warranty.

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.
