ANDERSON POWER PRODUCTS® OFFERS NEW ADDITION TO POWER PAK SERIES WITH ITS POWERPOLE® “T-PAK”

Anderson Power Products® (APP), a leader in high power interconnect solutions, offers a new addition to its increasingly popular Power Pak Series with the introduction of its Powerpole “T-Pak.” Featuring a two-way electrical splitter for one incoming circuit and two outgoing circuits, the Powerpole “T-Pak” is ideal for industrial and commercial applications in markets such as commercial and residential electrical distribution and electrified office furniture.

APP’s Powerpole “T-Pak” is designed to work exclusively with the 4 position Powerpole Pak connectors. The unit effectively spits the current from one incoming circuit into two, outgoing circuits. The unit is made of highimpact and corrosion resistant black thermoplastic and comes preassembled for a 20A, 3-phase AC configuration. The electrical contacts utilize APP’s Red, Black and White standard 30A Powerpoles and the Green Premate Ground Powerpole. Two mounting holes are provided to allow the unit to be mounted in any location and integral latches prevent accidental disconnection of equipment.

In addition, the “T-Pak” works with all of APP’s 15/45 Powerpoles, and can easily be preconfigured utilizing any of the company’s 10 to 45 amp Powerpoles, including finger proof, standard, premate ground, and 10 and 30amp pin & socket configurations. The “T-Pak” allows for easy installation, connection and disconnection of electrical equipment and provides security in applications where shock and vibration may be severe.

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.
