ESAB Helmets Provide Safer Welding Conditions

ESAB's ADC Plus New-Tech range of welding helmets provide an extra-large viewing area with ADC Plus Colour Definition, making working conditions safer for the welder. ADC, or Angular Dependence Compensation, ensures that the shade covers the full width and height of the screen, and offers improved colour definition and contrast. With the ESAB New-Tech ADC Plus range, the welder is given a viewing area of 96 x 68.5mm. Meeting the standards required by 1/1/1/1 EN379, ESAB New-Tech ADC Plus offers an even shade level across the full height and width of the viewing area.

As well as giving a better view, the ADC Plus cartridge reduces bright visible light. There are three helmets in the ESAB New-Tech ADC Plus range, all offering high performance, protection and comfort. The ESAB New-Tech 6-13 ADC Plus, which is also available with an XL lens measuring 96 x 68.5mm, can have shade levels adjusted from DIN 6 to DIN 13. These models have grinding modes in which the auto darkening filter (ADF) is switched off. The 9-13 ADC Plus can have shade levels adjusted from DIN 9 to DIN 13.

The ESAB New-Tech ADC Plus range keeps the welder cooler since they are lightweight and have silver heat-reflective shells For added comfort, the control panel is external. Adjustments available are shade (6-8/9-13), sensitivity and delay, and there is also a grinding mode available. ESAB recommends the use of a respiratory system for maximum protection against welding fumes. New-Tech ADC Plus is available with Fresh Air: Air 160, Air 200 and compressed-air units. These are delivered fully assembled with a flame-resistant head and face seal, as well as an air duct.

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.
