LED Floodlite Suits Hazardous Area Applications

Wolf Safety has launched the Wolf LED Floodlite, a high-performance, low-maintenance, Atex-compliant hazardous area floodlight designed for use in temporary applications and installations. The LED Floodlite uses high-output, high-efficiency LEDs and is CE marked to the Atex Directive for use in Zone 1 and Zone 2 potentially explosive gas and dust atmospheres.

It features 48 ultra-bright, high-power LEDs producing 3,300 lumens of brilliant white light, brighter than a 200W halogen incandescent lamp. Cable powered from voltages of 100-254V AC or 24-48V AC/DC, the lamp has low power consumption at 58W, is T4 rated and has a low enclosure surface temperature, eliminating the risk of burns. Supplied as standard with 20m of SY cable, Atex plug, and integral stainless steel stand, the LED Floodlite can also be fitted with an Atex socket to allow the lamps to be linked together for quick and easy set-up of multiple LED units in temporary installations.

Constructed from powder-coated marine-grade aluminium alloy and sealed dust and watertight to IP66/67, the low-maintenance Wolf LED Floodlite is available with a medium flood as standard, or a wide-angle beam to order. Other accessories include a sacrificial lens protecting films for grit blasting and painting applications, magnet fixings and tripod options.

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.
