Plug Connector System for 'Invisible' Installations

The pluggable gesis® installation system from Wieland Electric gets a new family member: the round plug connector system gesis® MICRO.

With their round design and a diameter of just 8 mm, cables fitted with plug connectors can be routed and installed quickly and inconspicuously. This is particularly beneficial for the 'last meter' in electric installations, in narrow installation spaces as e.g. in shelf lighting for shops or exhibitions, and anywhere the electric installation needs to be 'invisible'.

The 2-/3-pole plug connector system with the denominations GST08i2/GST08i3 can be routed through 8 mm drill holes without needing special tools. The system consists of prefabricated connecting lines with socket and connector, 2-/6-way distributors, connecting cables with socket and connector and free end as well as adapter cables to the gesis® CON and gesis® MINI installation systems.

Advanced LED technology in lighting applications puts new requirements on plug connectors for LED lights. The gesis® MICRO installation system meets these requirements with different types of coding. The 2-pole variant GST08i2 provides one coding for connecting machines to the voltage supply (white: 250 V, 6 A) and two low-voltage codings for connecting lights to the machines (blue: 12 V, 6 A; green: 24 V, 6 A). The 3-pole variant GST08i3 is suitable for 250 V at 6 A and is available in white color. All variants are coded both by color and mechanically on the plug interface. The plug connector system complies with the EN 61984/ EN 60320 standards.

With their pluggable gesis® installation system, Wieland Electric revolutionized the traditional electrical installation industry nearly 40 years ago. Apart from installation and maintenance cost savings of up to 30% and installation time reductions of up to 70%, the numerous benefits also include flexibility and reusability of the components.  gesis® offers maximum adaptability and flexibility especially during building conversion.

The gesis® electrical installation system consists of 2- to 5-pole, coded plug connectors, ribbon and round cables as well as a large number of distributors, couplings, infeed adapters, device terminals as well as electronic components and assemblies for building automation. All components are industry prefabricated and tested. They are designed for mains power supply, extra-low voltage, BUS systems or signal voltage. Customers can choose between the standard gesis® CON system and the gesis® MINI and gesis® MICRO systems for small installation spaces.

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.
