Pressure/Temperature Sensor Fits Motor Sport Apps

The EPTT5100 pressure/temperature sensor suits demanding applications across industry and motor sports, including construction and agricultural machinery, HVAC, hydraulic equipment and refrigeration. The EPTT5100, available in a 0-1,000 Bar range with other pressure ranges on request, has IP66 sealing and high-strength stainless-steel construction with 316 grade used for maximum resilience on wetted parts.

The combined sensor uses a high-level ASIC output circuit and a tried-and-tested thin-film strain gauge pressure-measuring cell that contains no silicon or oil and no internal O-rings for safe and reliable operation. With space-saving and installation advantages for the measurement of gas or liquid pressures and temperatures in hostile environments from -40 to 150C, both sensor types provide an accuracy of more than +/-0.8 per cent and linearity within one per cent. The durable pressure sensor has an over-range rating of 4x rated and burst pressure to 6x rated.

The EPTT5100 has a very high resilience to shock and vibration, and its long-life design is rated at more than 10 million pressure cycles for fit-and-forget operation. The 22mm-diameter industry-standard unit has various pressure port options and has a single power-supply voltage from 10-30V DC with pressure-output range of 0-5V DC and temperature range is 0.25-4.75V DC. A M12 connector is the standard electrical connection, with other options available. Through the EPT pressure sensor series, pressure ranges are available from 0-0.25 to 0-4000 Bar.

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.
