Campbell Collins Offers Waterproof Power Supplies

Campbell Collins has announced the release of a range of fully waterproof power supplies from MTM Power of Germany. The PM-IP67A series offers IP67-rated protection against dust, humidity, condensation and total liquid immersion for applications where an external housing such as a switching cabinet is not available to offer that level of protection. This could, for example, be on board vehicles, trains, heavy plant machinery or other mobile and/or static equipment that needs to operate in extreme environments.

The PM-IP67A series accepts universal inputs from 90-264V AC and 100-353V DC, making them suitable for worldwide applications as well as for high-voltage DC situations. The devices are now offered in power levels of 100, 75 and 50W to complement the already released 200W devices, and can deliver a range of voltages depending on power level, including 5, 12, 15, 24, 36 and 48V single outputs, and +/-12, +/-24, +/-48 and 12/24V dual outputs.

Certain models are offered with a Power Boost feature, which enables the power supply to deliver up to 150 per cent of its rated load for up to 4sec for applications requiring short-term bursts of additional power. Utilsing MTM's Thermoselective Vacuum Encapsulation process, the units offer protection in the toughest of environments and operate over a -25 to 70C temperature range. Short-circuit protection is included as standard, and the units are UL/cUL and VDE approved, and carry the CE mark for the EMC and LVD directives.

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.
