Eaton’s Reliable Products and Customer Support Help Boeing Deliver the 1,000th 777 Jetliner to Emirates

Diversified industrial manufacturer Eaton Corporation’s highly reliable products and customer support for Boeing’s 777 program helped Boeing meet production commitments to deliver the 1,000th 777 airplane, which took place in March  to Dubai-based Emirates. Eaton content is included on all six 777 models and can be found in all three engine options produced for the airplane.

“As a key supplier for the 777 program, Eaton joins Boeing in celebrating the achievement of the 1,000th delivery milestone,” said Geoff Reed, Eaton’s account director for Boeing. “Eaton products have played important roles in 777 systems ever since the first airplane was delivered in 1995, contributing to the platform’s outstanding efficiency and dispatch reliability of greater than 99 percent.”

Eaton products on the 777 generate, convey and control power and are used in major sub-systems throughout the airplane, including fuel, hydraulic and propulsion systems. Eaton content also provides actuation in flight controls trim and utility applications, and cargo and passenger door applications in hydraulic, pneumatic and electric power systems.

In an agreement announced in 2011, Emirates chose Eaton to provide engine-driven pumps and AC motorpumps for a new order of 777s, in addition to support services for the same units installed on the airline’s current 777 fleet. Eaton is the exclusive provider of supplier-furnished engine-driven pumps and AC motorpumps for all of Emirate’s Boeing fleets.

Additional Eaton content on the 777 includes inline motors, brake metering valves, stabilizer trim motors, ram air turbine pumps, main engine fuel pumps, environmentally sealed power relays, quantitative debris monitoring systems, rudder trim switches, a vast array of pressure, altitude and differential-pressure switches, emergency passenger door actuators and environmental control system door actuators.

In the aerospace industry, Eaton is a leading supplier of hydraulic, electro-hydraulic pump and generator products and integrated systems; engine and airframe fuel pumps; electric motors; aircraft door actuation, flight and flow controls; fluid, fuel and air delivery products and systems; nose wheel steering systems; integrated control systems; cockpit controls and displays; power and load management systems; pressure sensors, seals, and fluid health monitoring products and systems. Eaton serves commercial and military aviation, aerospace, military weapons, marine and off-road markets worldwide.

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.
