Degreaser Suitable for Electrical Cables and PCBs

Mykal Industries has announced that the Desolvit Electrical and Cable Cleaner (DSI 5000ECC) has been awarded NATO number 7930-99-494-1799 for use within the armed forces. The company said the product was chosen due to its good degreasing performance and good safety profile. The fact that it is a citrus-based degreaser and not chlorinated or paraffin-based was in its favour, Mykal added.

Electrical and Cable Cleaner (DSI 5000ECC) is described as a powerful liquid cleaner for use on electrical cables, switchgear, PCBs and overhead power lines. It is formulated to a high dielectric strength of 50,000v and designed specifically to remove greases, cable jelly, bitumen, sealants and oils without affecting insulation or cable cores.

The product has a flashpoint of 67C. Desolvit Electrical and Cable Cleaner (DSI 5000ECC) is also available as a pre-impregnated low lint wet wipe under the name of Electrical and Cable Cleaner Wipes (DSI 5000ECW). Electrical and Cable Cleaner (DSI 5000ECC) is part of the Desolvit range of citrus degreasers that combines performance with user and environmental safety.

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.
