Cami to Exhibit Wire Harness Test Equipment

At the Milwaukee Wire Processing Technology Show on 18-19 May in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Cami Research will be exhibiting its latest line of cable and wire harness test equipment. These will include: the new Cable Eye Labview interface; the Cable Eye HVX High Voltage Test System; the Light Director Light-Guided Connector Pinning System and examples of custom cable and wire harness interface designs. Visitors to Cami's booth may have their badge scanned to receive a 10 per cent discount coupon for the purchase of any new Cable Eye tester, accessory or software in the catalogue.

Among the items on exhibit will be the HVX high-voltage test system based on Cami's M3U tester. The HVX tester starts at 128 test points capacity and may be expanded up to 512 points by the addition of 128-point expansion modules. Customers now using M3U low voltage testers may expand their existing system by purchasing just the high-voltage module. The HVX system has been tested by an independent compliance-testing laboratory and meets all safety and electromagnetic compatibility requirements for the CE mark.

The system comes with a one-year warranty. Also on exhibit will be some of the 45 different connector plugboards available for Cable Eye. These boards, each with multiple connectors, serve as personality modules that adapt the tester for many different cable types. Recently added boards cover Micro D connectors and Elco/Edac rack-and-panel connectors. Show visitors will see Cableeye's latest software demonstrated.

This software is capable of measuring and displaying the graphic wiring diagram of any cable or harness connected to the tester, measuring resistors, diodes and wire resistance. Trace resistance to compensate for the innate resistance of fixturing may now be automatically subtracted from measurements to provide a more accurate reflection of the device under test. The software also offers an extensive cable database, report and label printing, custom connector interfaces and guided assembly.

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.
