Emerson Introduces the New PowerSureTM CM Series, a Compact, Weather-Resistant Surge Protector

Emerson Network Power, a business of Emerson (NYSE:EMR) and a global leader in maximizing the availability, capacity and efficiency of critical infrastructure, is pleased to announce the addition of the new PowerSure™ CM Series to the Emerson Network Power family of surge protection products.

PowerSure™ CM Series surge protective devices (SPDs) are designed to help prevent electric power line disturbances from disrupting or damaging sensitive electronic equipment. These compact AC power surge protectors are rated at 50kA per mode and housed in a weather-resistant (UL Type 4X) enclosure, so they can be installed virtually anywhere in the customer’s electrical system.

“Our goal is to keep power problems from entering a facility in the first place so we can help protect customers’ productivity and ultimately, their revenue,” says Eric Marshall, director of sales and marketing, surge protection products, for Emerson Network Power. “We developed these devices in a smaller size to make them ideal for retrofit applications where space may be limited.”

An optional DIN rail mounting assembly allows customers to install the PowerSure™ CM Series on standard 35mm industrial DIN rails. It can also be screw-mounted.

The PowerSure™ CM Series also features remote indication of protection status via both LEDs and summary alarm contacts.

The PowerSure™ CM Series is ANSI/UL 1449 Third Edition listed for Type 1 locations with an I-nominal (In) of 20kA and a SSCR of 200kAIC. The line is available in voltages ranging from 120V to 480V, and in single-, split-, and three-phase models. All backed by a five-year warranty.

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.
