Insteng Distributes Flir Systems Infrared Cameras

Flir has announced the appointment of Insteng Process Automation as a multi-range thermal imaging camera distributor. Insteng is responsible for seven ranges of infrared cameras, extending from the troubleshooting compact models, through the mid-range professional series, to the top-of-the-range expert cameras for advanced predictive maintenance. The Insteng product programme also includes Flir cameras dedicated for building inspection and also fixed-mounted models for process automation and control.

Aiden Farrelly from Insteng, said: 'The great thing about the Flir infrared cameras is that they save users money. 'Flir has made thermal imaging much more accessible now so smaller businesses, such as plumbers and electricians, can benefit from the technology. 'They can massively cut costs through infrared predictive maintenance and building inspections. 'Minor problems are easily diagnosed and corrected before they develop into costly failures.

'Swift return on investment is assured, making Flir infrared cameras highly cost-effective,' Farrelly added. Insteng, with its focus on process control and automation, is said to be well placed to maximise the potential of the Flir fixing infrared cameras. Farrelly said: 'These cameras provide a means of constantly assessing and reviewing the more sensitive areas of industry.

'Customers recognise how beneficial thermal imaging can be in this regard and the demand for this technology is now substantial,' he added. Insteng is also able to add value to the supply of Flir thermal imaging cameras. For many years, its certified thermographers have provided an on-site infrared inspection service, experience that now enables Insteng to offer training and comprehensive post-sale support to its infrared customers.

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.
