Crydom Introduces the "DRA" Series of Din Rail Mounted AC and DC Output Solid State Relay Assemblies and "DRS" Series of Din Rail Sockets

The DRA series feature 10 mm wide DIN Rail mounted Single Channel and 54 mm wide Four Channel DIN Rail mounted SSR Assemblies utilizing proven Crydom SIP type AC or DC output SSRs mounted in DRS series sockets.

Crydom, a company of Custom Sensors & Technologies (CST) and global expert in Solid State Relay Technology, introduces a new line of DIN Rail mounted Solid State Relay Assemblies and Sockets for Single Channel and Four Channel Applications. Mounting to standard 35 mm DIN Rail, the DRA series feature a variety of Industry Standard Crydom Single-in-Line AC and DC output SSRs in “ready to use” assemblies.

DRS Sockets, shipped in kit form, are available in 3 different input configurations including 3 to 15 VDC & 18 to 30 VDC each featuring LED input status indicators, and a 3 to 32 VDC or 90 to 280 VAC version without input status indicator. DRS1 Single Channel and DRS4 Four Channel sockets accept Industry Standard SIP type SSRs such as the Crydom CX and CMX series.

Crydom DRA and DRS Assemblies and Sockets offer the user a wide range of standard output and control ratings as well as the option for customer specific adaptations.

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.
