CC Series Contactors and Overloads up to 900 A/600 Hp

Carlo Gavazzi is proud to introduce its new complete range of IEC contactors, overloads and accessories. The CC Series Contactors are available in eight frame sizes, ranging from 25 to 900Amps AC1 (up to 600 Hp at 480VAC). Contactors are available with a wide selection of AC and DC coil voltages, choice of screw or lug terminals on larger contactors, dual coil terminals for easy looping and at least one set of auxiliary contacts. The contactor’s coil is easily changed in the event an emergency shipment with a non-standard voltage is required. There are also new mechanical interlock units for reversing contactor sets, which also includes auxiliary contacts for electrical interlocking.

Matching GT Series Bimetallic Thermal Overloads provide class 10 trip protection for motor loads. Standard features include a set of auxiliary contacts, test button and manual or automatic reset direct mounting or optional separate mounting bracket. More advanced motor protection is available with CGE Series of electronic (overload) motor protection relays.

The new CC Series Contactors were designed to complement Carlo Gavazzi’s existing line of GMS Manual Motor Starters. Direct link adapters and rigid back plates provide a seamless means of connecting the 9 through 100Amp CC Series Contactors to the GMS Series Manual Starters.

All CC Series Contactors and GT Series Overloads have a two year warranty, are UL and cUL listed, with CSA (elevator application) approval pending. Features include:
  •     3 or 4-phase contactors and overloads for motor, heater and lighting control
  •     IEC AC3 ratings ranging from 9 to 800Amps
  •     UL resistive rating ranging from 25 to 900Amps
  •     UL motor rating ranging from 5 to 600 Hp
  •     At least one set of auxiliary contacts on all contactors and overloads
  •     Screw terminals are standard, with lug terminals offered as an option on 50 to 800Amp sizes
  •     Wide range of AC and DC coil voltages
  •     Coils with dual terminals
  •     Optional cover for contactor test button
  •     Mechanical interlocks with auxiliary contacts
  •     Bus bars for reversing most contactor combinations
  •     Direct link and back plates for connecting 9 to 100Amp contactors to manual motor starters
  •     UL, cUL listed products with CSA (elevator application) approval pending on some sizes

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.
