ANDERSON POWER PRODUCTS® INTRODUCES THE CR-SB (CHEMICAL RESISTANT) CONNECTOR LINE

Anderson Power Products (APP), a leader in the design and manufacture of interconnect solutions, announces a new addition to its family of SB products with the release of the CR-SB (Chemical Resistant) SB product line. The new chemical resistant (CR) SB line of connectors was developed for customers whose applications require robust connector solutions that provide improved resistance to environmental factors that commonly degrade standard products leading to eventual failure. The new housing material offers improved resistance to hydrocarbons and solvents as well as an extended temperature range. The CR-SB connectors are ideal for a variety of industries that includes Automotive, Industrial, and Personal Mobility. In addition, these new housings offer all the benefits of the industry standard SB products including color and mechanical coding, hot plug capability, and genderless design.

The CR-SB Connectors are fully intermateable and interchangeable with the standard SB connectors and accept the same range of contacts. CR-SB Connectors are available from 50 to 350 amps and are rated at 600V AC or DC operation with connection under load capability up to 100 amps. As with our standard SB line, the housings are keyed to ensure that only connectors of the same color will mate.* In order to distinguish the CR-SB Connectors from the Standard SB Connectors, there is a “P” molded on the back side of the housing.

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.
