ACE Brand Partners with Reality Star and Everyday Athlete Ryan Sutter to Launch the ACE Brand Champion Challenge

What makes you a champion? ACE Brand has teamed up with reality star and weekend warrior, Ryan Sutter, to ask America this very question with the launch of the ACE Brand Champion Challenge. Beginning Wednesday, July 11, 2012 through Monday, September 10, 2012, the ACE Brand is encouraging people nationwide to share stories and photographs on ACEBrand.com/Champions that demonstrate what makes them or someone they know a champion.

The first 10,000 participants of the ACE Brand Champion Challenge will receive a free ACE Elastic Bandage in a limited-edition black or green color that has been produced for this sweepstakes. Additionally, all participants will be entered to win the grand prize of a $2,500 gift card to help fund their next adventure, as well as a series of runner-up prizes.

“At a time when the world will be celebrating the athletic triumphs of the 2012 Summer Olympics, we wanted to bring attention to America’s everyday champions – the weekend warriors who are dedicated to embracing healthy and active lifestyles,” said Paul Conley, brand manager, ACE™ Brand Products, Consumer Health Care Division. “For nearly a century, the ACE Brand has been committed to helping Americans maintain staying active regardless of minor setbacks. Whether your story is about overcoming a physical obstacle or committing to a nightly game of basketball, we consider you a champion and want to hear from you.”

As a lieutenant in the Vail Fire Department and active father of two, Sutter embraces being a “champion” in his daily routine by always staying active so he never has to miss out on an opportunity. He will kick-off the ACE Brand Champion Challenge through a personal video that asks fans to share their champion stories and photos on ACEBrand website, where they will be able to find out additional information about the challenge and share their stories.

“Being a champion has a number of different meanings to me. From taking a hike with my kids to preparing for my next marathon or bike race, I stay active and fit so I can always be ready for a challenge,” said Sutter. “I’m proud to be involved in the ACE Brand Champion Challenge and look forward to hearing the stories of other weekend warriors as well as those who share a similar philosophy. Everyone can be a champion – whether you enjoy a pick-up game of basketball with friends or power walk on the weekend. I encourage people to participate, to not only celebrate their achievements, but for a chance to win some great prizes.”

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
