Saelig’s New Tiny Picoammeter Eliminates Voltage Transients

PocketPico Picoammeter is a new, USB-connected; very low current measurement device for DC current from 20pA to 2mA. Tiny (2.7” × 1.4” × 3.7”), lightweight (8oz) PocketPico Picoammeter eliminates harmful switching spikes and reads at a rapid 15,000 samples per second. Perfect for lab test setups, PocketPico Picoammeter's high accuracy, fast speed, and single measurement range brings new features previously unavailable in other picoammeters, like small size, single 20pA - 2mA measurement range at 15,000 Sa/s, high accuracy (±0.5%) and resolution (4½ digits), protection against voltage transients, etc.

PocketPico Picoammeter is dedicated to the task of measuring very low electrical current in optoelectronics, ion and electron beam monitoring, materials resistance testing and more. When connected to a PC, PocketPico Picoammeter accurately measures current from 20pA – 2mA and displays it using the free Windows-compatible easy-to-use PocketPicoReader software on the PC’s display.

PocketPico Picoammeter is one of the easiest and most affordable ways of measuring a wide range of extremely low current. Simple to integrate with existing lab tasks, it avoids using bulky equipment simply to take low power measurements, especially for field use. PocketPico Picoammeter could potentially save users thousands of dollars on instrument costs, software licenses and expensive data acquisition equipment.
Applications for PocketPico Picoammeter include: photodiode current and dark current measurement, ion beam monitoring and measurement, SEM and TEM beam current measurement, optical fiber alignment, component, sensor, and device I-V characterization, materials resistance testing, leakage current testing, analog and mixed-signal circuit testing & analysis, teaching labs, product demonstrations, etc.

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.
