Thermal Imaging Cameras can be Used at Close Range

Flir Systems' thermal imaging allows commitment to new plant needs to be in parallel with investment, meaning Europe could derive 20 per cent of its energy needs from renewable sources by 2020. The non-contact, non-destructive method can be applied at close range, or over considerable distance, due to the choice of thermal-imaging cameras available. At All Energy, visitors will be able to see three new series additions to the Flir predictive-maintenance range that extends from the troubleshooting, compact cameras through to expert models that provide every feature for high-end thermal analysis and reporting.

The Flir i3 is suitable for the first-time user who wants to inspect or monitor the health of electrical and mechanical systems, or even a building. This newcomer will be demonstrated at the show, along with the new Flir E-Series models. These are more sophisticated than the Flir i-Series, providing enhanced image quality and analysis. These IP54 housed cameras introduce advanced features and analysis tools that optimise inspection. These include picture-in-picture thermal and visual overlay, thermal fusion that merges both image types, digital zoom and text/voice annotation. Thermal images and other information can be transmitted from the Flir E-Series to an Iphone or Ipad and also, via Meterlink, measurement data from a clamp meter to the camera.

These features are also included on the latest generation Flir T-Series models for the commercial application of high-calibre thermal imaging. Complementing its portable range are the Flir fixed mounted cameras, designed to keep the thermal efficiency of installation in constant check. The latest models introduce several time-saving features including GigE Vision and Genicam compatibility, a feature that cuts down integration time significantly.

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.
