Laird Technologies and its Partner Nextreme Thermal Solutions to Attend Sensors Expo & Conference 2012

Laird Technologies, Inc., a global leader in the design and supply of customized performance-critical components and systems for advanced electronics and wireless products, today announced it will be attending the Sensors Expo & Conference  2012 with Nextreme Thermal Solutions, the leader in micro-scale thermal management and power generation solutions. The conference will be held at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, IL, June 6-7, 2012. Laird Technologies will be present at booth #1027.

Laird Technologies will showcase its modular designed thermoelectric power generator (TEG) used to convert waste or process heat from pipes into DC power to drive sensors, meters and wireless communication’s equipment.  The amount of power produced is directly proportional to the difference in temperature between the pipe and the ambient environment.    

The solid-state, modular design allows flexibility in power output (easily configured to match voltage and current requirements), and installation.  The “Pipe-mount” platform is adaptable to accommodate pipe sizes from 1” to 4” and offers low-profile mounting options when space is an issue.  Charge controllers, data-logging and battery backup options can be incorporated to support custom design applications. 

Laird Technologies’ partner, Nextreme, will showcase its eTEG™ thin-film thermoelectric and Thermobility™ power generator product lines. Through their exclusive partnership, Laird Technologies and Nextreme are able to expand into new markets as well offer a greater product portfolio to existing customers. The partnership allows both companies to leverage their shared strengths to build strategic relationships in order to support long-term business opportunities and growth.

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.
