IRISS Inc. Opens Asia-Pacific Operations - Expansion Due to Dramatically Increased Opportunities in the APAC Region and to Greater Electrical Safety Awareness Globally

IRISS Inc., the innovator in infrared (IR) window technology and manufacturer of the world's first and only industrial-grade infrared inspection window,announced today the opening of its Asia-Pacific (APAC) operations in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. IRISS-Asia, Pty Ltd will provide regional marketing, sales and support for IRISS's growing client base in the Asia-Pacific region. Garry Ward, Director at Industrial Precision Instruments Pty Ltd Australia is appointed Sales and Marketing Director IRISS-Asia Pty Ltd and will lead IRISS's expansion into one of the fastest growing markets in the world.

Martin Robinson, CEO of IRISS commented: Opening an office in this strategic region of the world means we're able to be more flexible and within a reasonable proximity to potential customers across the Asia -Pacific region. Garry brings over 17 years of Condition-based Monitoring (CBM) service experience and his leadership will guide the team there to increase our global client base. An office based in the Melbourne area is strategic to ensuring our local partners have the support and expertise they need as part of our delivery model.

Garry Ward, Sales and Marketing Director APAC added, "IRISS is renowned for innovative industrial-grade Infrared window designs and a thought-leader in the electrical safety arena. IRISS understands the needs of the industrial mining, manufacturing and power-generation industries and are known for delivering exemplary service and the best industrial infrared window on the market today. It's exciting to have Brenton Ward, in a role as Sales Manager because as a Certified Level III Infrared Specialist, he too possesses the same passion for customer care, electrical safety practices and brings a wealth of knowledge in predictive maintenance (PdM) technology that the America's and EMEA clients already experience."

"Safer inspections using an IR window are a necessity for every company using thermography today and in the future, which is where IRISS leads the worldwide marketplace for industrial-grade IR windows. The use of infrared thermography and ultrasonics in performing electrical inspections of energized equipment, has been brought to the forefront of globally recognized safety standards. It has long been a priority of IRISS to provide greater access to our products in emerging and growth markets that will facilitate increasing safer work practices and growing our operations in APAC will allow just that," said CEO, Mr. Robinson.

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.
