Legrand/Wiremold Expands Line of Advanced Floor Boxes

Legrand/Wiremold has introduced an advanced four-compartment recessed floor box for concrete floors, including polished concrete and terrazzo. The Resource RFB4E Series floor box accepts the 6" round Evolution™ Series Poke-Thru covers that are available in three styles and five colors.

The RFB4E Series floor box provides ample capacity where a larger box is not required. This box extends the industry-leading line of Wiremold® floor boxes and poke-thru devices that use the same Evolution covers for improved aesthetics throughout a building.

The RFB4E Series floor box is available for on-grade and above-grade construction and is fully adjustable before and after the concrete pour. Twenty-six knockouts on the sides and bottom, ranging in size from ¾" to 2", provide maximum installation flexibility. A proprietary conduit hub accepts 2" conduit to bring more cables into the 4" deep box. Removable dividers and a detachable side plate facilitate pass-through tunneling.

The four internal compartments support power, communications, and audio/video applications with generous space (3 ½” behind the device plates) for installing devices and managing cable bend requirements.

Evolution Series poke-thru covers are available in surface, flush and furniture feed designs. A unique ring and mud-cap assembly allows the cover to be installed in polished concrete and terrazzo floors. Covers are available in nickel, brass, bronze, black, and gray powder-coat finishes. Each cover features two spring-loaded slide cable egress doors and TopGuard™ protection that prevents water, dirt, and debris from entering device compartments. Evolution poke-thru covers are UL Listed to U.S. and Canadian standards for tile, terrazzo, carpet, and wood floors.

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.
