Honeywell Celebrates Children’s Day in Shanghai; Hosts Students from Remote Sichuan Village

Honeywell Celebrated China’s International Children’s Day with a number of activities in its Shanghai office to support China schools and inspire students and teachers.

As part of its Sichuan Rebuilt School Scholarship, Honeywell hosted three students and three teachers from the Honeywell United Primary School, rebuilt in 2009 by Honeywell and partners following the Sichuan earthquake, for a three-day program that included a visit to a Shanghai primary school, Yangshan, the Shanghai Science & Technology Museum, and Honeywell facilities to help improve their skills and broaden their perspectives.

Wang Guihua, one of the Sichuan teachers expressed her heartfelt gratitude to Honeywell saying, “This trip was a once-in-a-lifetime event to the teachers and the students. We had many firsts in our lives: we saw the sea for the first time, ate at a McDonald’s for the first time, had a ride in the subway for the first time… I’ve seen other companies implement programs at Sichuan schools, but none has gone to such extra lengths as Honeywell did, and I thank each and everyone involved for the kindness and thoughtfulness.”

To celebrate the day, Honeywell’s Performance Materials and Technologies business hosted students from the Zhangjiang Center Primary School, providing the children with a tour of the new Honeywell Technology Experience center and a special lecture titled “When I Was at Your Age” by Dr. Niu Yongming, a Honeywell technologist who grew up in a remote village and followed his dream to become a successful scientist.

Honeywell Business Solutions and Honeywell Aerospace also hosted an event at the Zhangjiang High Tech Park where employee children had the opportunity to learn more about Honeywell.

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.
