Meggitt Announces a New Product Generation: The VibroSight® Total Monitoring Solution

Meggitt Sensing Systems announces a new diagnostic and optimization solution, to expand its Vibro-Meter® product line: VibroSight® is a software that monitors all critical parameters of plant equipments.

The VibroSight® Total Monitoring Solution provides advanced monitoring information that is fundamental to Plan Asset Management. Data from all sources is collected, transformed and analyzed, to provide advisory for management of plants in power generation, oil & gas or petrochemical industries.

The main benefit delivered by VibroSight® to plant operators is the combination of advanced monitoring, diagnostic and optimization functions, with a great simplicity of use and easy access to other systems’ interfaces:

VibroSight® works with all machine types: Application Packages provide specific graphical interfaces and plot types relevant to a specific asset or application. These modules are being developed to address applications like: steam turbines, hydro turbines, generators, test beds, etc... Specific gas turbine vibration, combustion and blade health Modules are available.
VibroSight® works with all monitoring systems and devices types: the software platform automatically collects and analyzes data from rack-based, portable, compact and future monitoring systems. VibroSight® is easily expandable: when new equipments and monitoring devices are added to a plant, the solution’s open structure allows interfacing easily with the new devices and integrating the additional data to existing monitoring functions.

Plant operators that choose VibroSight® to improve their Plan Asset Management will appreciate particularly its single system approach, designed for maximum flexibility. Applications range from hosting a single compact system, to addressing thousands of parameters across a networked Management system for several plants.

The VibroSight® Total Monitoring Solution is currently being tested on selected plants, in cooperation with plant operators. The product will be showcased at Power-Gen Europe (Amsterdam, 08-10 June 2010), with a demo for customers. The complete product package will be deliverable to the market in Q3 2010.

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.
