EGT Sensor Withstands Extreme Conditions

The Sensor Connection has introduced the EGT diesel exhaust gas temperature sensor, which features an enclosed foul-proof probe tip that permits operation in biofuel and diesel-engine applications. Manufactured in the US from high-temperature Inconel and 316SS, this Type K thermocouple can withstand extreme conditions, making it suitable for use in research and development and testing as well as in various applications within the agricultural, marine and automotive/racing industries (including truck engine management systems and LNP injection systems).

These high-temperature sensors are particularly suitable for professional racing teams, original equipment manufacturers and research and development test labs for their demanding applications. The EGT sensor is capable of surviving extreme vibration and heat up to 1,200C. The foul-proof sensing tip is recommended for EGT temperature measurements of sulphuric fuels such as diesel and biofuels. Measuring 0.187in (4.75mm) in diameter, the EGT probe will fit most diesel-engine exhaust systems from 0.750in (19mm) to 4.0in (100mm) in diameter with nominal installation modifications.

The sensor, available in either a straight or 90deg bend to the probe, accommodates tight-spaced mounting locations. An adjustable (316 stainless steel) 1/8in NPT compression fitting adapter is included. The EGT probe cable, over braided in stainless steel for heavy-duty abrasion resistance, extends 6ft (2m) in length. Signal wires are Teflon insulated to ensure reliable and consistent high-temperature measurement in extreme operating conditions.

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.
