Legrand/Pass & Seymour Announces The Commercial Availability Of Its Level 2 Pedestal-Mounted EV Charging Station

Legrand, the world specialist in products and systems for electrical installations and information networks, has announced the commercial availability of the newest addition to their range of electric vehicle chargers – the Level 2 Pedestal-Mounted EV Charging Station.

The ETL-certified 20A/240V Level 2 Pedestal-Mounted EV Charging Station is available in both single and dual configurations, which makes it perfect for installation at light commercial sites such as office parks, apartment complexes and shopping malls. It is currently available from Legrand/Pass & Seymour distributors throughout the USA and Canada.

“Making the Level 2 Pedestal-Mounted EV Charging Station commercially available provides unique business opportunities for all our North American distributors,” said Pat Davin, Vice President and General Manager at Legrand/Pass & Seymour. “As the popularity and market awareness of alternative energy vehicles grows, all commercial sites will have to provide electric vehicle charging stations. Our pedestal model is perfectly positioned to take full advantage of all market opportunities.”

The Level 2 Pedestal-Mounted EV Charging Station is fixed on a sturdy, anodized aluminum Vista Architectural™ column that provides support for both the single and dual charging station configurations. It is also fully weatherproof with a NEMA 3R rating and can be installed outdoors or indoors in covered parking/charging areas.  The reliable and cost effective EV Charging Station comes with full customer support for the duration of its lifetime.

In addition, the Level 2 Pedestal-Mounted EV Charging Station provides a full charge in 3-6 hours and is compatible with all Plug-In Electric Vehicles. Critical safety features include built-in P&S GFCI protection with a self-test feature, ground continuity monitoring to ensure proper grounding, and communication with vehicle to confirm electrical connections prior to charging. It also has an auto reset feature that allows the charger to re-try after a minor electrical fault. This prevents lockout and low charge situations. It is also RoHS (Reduction of Hazardous Substances) Compliant and contains a 24-foot coiled cord for easy cord management.

Legrand/Pass & Seymour’s other Level 2 EV Charging station is a wall-mounted unit. A Level 1 15A/120V portable charger that can be taken on the road is also available. It is also weatherproof for indoor or outdoor use, plugs into a standard 15A or 20A receptacle and includes built-in ground fault protection.

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.
