3 DEPLOYS NETGEAR MOBILE ROUTERS TO DELIVER BROADBAND TO RURAL AREAS IN SWEDEN

NETGEAR®, Inc. (NASDAQGM: NTGR), a global networking company that delivers innovative products to consumers, businesses and service providers, announced today that 3Sweden (“3”), a leading mobile operator, has selected the NETGEAR MBR1310 Mobile Broadband Router for deployment to customers on its award winning high speed 3G network in Sweden. 3Sweden can now grow its customer base by delivering superior mobile broadband service to rural families and eliminate the need for fixed broadband.

The NETGEAR MBR1310 offers broadband Internet access at speeds up to 32 Mbps downstream by 4.6 Mbps upstream in the 3 network. The NETGEAR MBR1310 provides connectivity via a 4 port LAN, 2 USB ports and 802.11n WiFi up to 300 Mbps. It is also able to provide a resilient service via a secondary Ethernet WAN port when needed.

“After winning ‘Best 3G Data Network’ in Sweden from Mobil Magazine for the fifth year in a row, we were quite confident we were ready to target the fixed broadband market,” said Deputy CEO and Sales Director Nicholas Högberg at 3. “To be able to provide our customers speeds up to 32 Mbps we needed a great product. We found that in the NETGEAR MBR1310. NETGEAR is known for its superior performance and our two brands combined create an attractive offer to the end customer.”

“Mobile Broadband access continues to make rapid strides worldwide while providing a clear alternative choice from wired broadband access. Our latest Mobile Broadband Routers continue to play a key role by making it easy to take advantage of enhanced services,” said Michael Clegg, SVP and GM, Service Provider Business Unit. “We applaud the leadership that 3 has shown in its high speed 3G network deployment, and are honored to be partnering with them in this leading edge roll out.”

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.
