Goggles Give Eye Protection in Manufacturing Areas

Uvex has added the Uvex Skyguard NT, the Uvex Superfit and the Uvex Carbonvision to its goggle safety eyewear range, which is suited for the manufacturing, aerospace and automotive industries. All three products offer high levels of eye protection from dust and liquid splash, combined with enhanced comfort and a lightweight design. Available in a variety of colours and lens options, they are especially suitable for use in utilities, construction, engineering and power generation.

All three feature permanent lens coatings that offer lasting anti-fogging and scratch resistance. The Uvex Skyguard NT spectacle provides for extra protection from liquid splash and dust in general industrial, chemical and laboratory use. It features a low-profile wrap-around design that gives a close, unobtrusive fit and provides an unhindered field of vision. Adjustable to fit all individuals, its hard and soft material combination offers high levels of comfort and protection to the wearer. The ultra-thin lens of the sporty Uvex Superfit minimises refraction by bending the rays of light through the glass when the light changes direction.

It has a slimline hinge, grips the head fast at the temple and is close-fitting. The Uvex Carbonvision goggle is particularly suitable for use in extreme conditions, such as in quarrying and fabrication. Its frame and strap, and high-tech materials give a secure, pressure-free fit and an effective seal to the face. The Supravision extreme lens permanent coating performs to three times the standard for personal eye protection, according to the company.

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.
