ANDERSON POWER PRODUCTS INTRODUCES THE SPEC PAK™ IP68 CONNECTOR

Anderson Power Products® (APP), a leader in high power interconnect solutions, introduces its new SPEC Pak connector. The SPEC Pak (Sealed Power For Environmental Connections) has an environmentally sealed IP68 shell to protect existing APP contacts and housings. The company’s customer-configured SPEC Pak Connectors may be used anywhere a rugged or water proof high power, signal and ground interconnect solution is required such as in; mass transportation, off-road vehicles, factory automation, oil and petro-chemical exploration, agricultural equipment, and many more.

The core technology within and protected by the SPEC Pak is Powerpoles. Powerpoles have decades of proven reliability at cost effective prices and give users extensive options which may be specified to empower designers of power, signal and ground connections flexibility. When Powerpoles are combined within the SPEC Pak, the result is a powerful environmental interconnect for use in a vast array of demanding applications.

The core APP Powerpole technology within the SPEC Pak is proven reliable and cost effective. The broad selection of color coded housings offer versatility with power housings ( standard and finger proof) that handle up to 45 amps as well as signal and ground housings for design flexibility. These housings combined with contacts for wire gauges #24 to #10 AWG (0.25 to 4 mm²) provide user’s 1000”s of possible design solutions in a single interconnect. The SPEC Pak utilizes an industry standard panel mount cut out - 26482/5015 shell size 24 and the touch safe housings meet UL1977, Section 10.2.

Anderson Power Products’ SPEC Pak users will enjoy many advantages, such as an economic total installed cost, size to power performance ratio, simplistic ease of assembly, and practically endless options for customer configurability.

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.
