Belden Mails Offer and Take-Over Bid Circular to Miranda Shareholders and Miranda Mails Directors' Circular Recommending Acceptance

Belden Inc. (NYSE: BDC), a global leader in signal transmission solutions for mission-critical applications, today announced that through its wholly-owned subsidiary, it has commenced its offer to acquire all of the outstanding common shares of Miranda Technologies Inc. for C$17.00 per share in cash (the "Offer") and mailed the Offer and take-over bid circular to Miranda shareholders. The directors' circular of the board of directors of Miranda has been concurrently mailed with the Offer and take-over bid circular.

After receiving the recommendation of its special committee, and in consultation with its financial and legal advisors, the board of directors of Miranda unanimously determined that the Offer is fair to Miranda shareholders and in the best interests of Miranda. Accordingly, the Miranda board of directors is recommending to Miranda shareholders that they accept, and tender their common shares to, the Offer.

The Offer will be open for acceptance until 8:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on July 24, 2012, unless extended, and is conditional upon, among other things, customary regulatory approvals and there having been validly deposited (and not withdrawn) at least 66⅔% of the outstanding Miranda common shares (on a fully-diluted basis).

The full details of the Offer are contained in the take-over bid circular of Belden CDT (Canada) Inc. and directors' circular of the Miranda board of directors.

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.
