Hubbell Wiring Systems Expands H-MOSS OPTIMYZER High-Bay Occupancy Sensor Line

Hubbell Wiring Systems expanded its H-MOSS OPTIMYZER line of high-bay occupancy sensors with additional voltage ratings, optional daylight harvesting photocell and cold temperature versions. These high-bay occupancy sensors mount easily to T5, T5HO and T8 fixtures at heights of up to 45 feet in warehouses, gymnasiums, distribution centers and manufacturing facilities.

In addition to 120, 277 and 347 VAC, Hubbell’s H-MOSS OPTIMYZER high-bay occupancy sensors now support 480 VAC and 208/240 VAC voltages. New 24 V DC low-voltage versions are also now available, which can be used with Hubbell’s H-MOSS CU300A control unit for powering multiple sensors, circuits or additional equipment such as fans.

Many manufacturing and warehousing operations utilize skylights to provide supplemental illumination. The expanded line of OPTIMYZERs includes an optional built-in photocell for daylight harvesting, providing control of lighting based on available daylight and further reducing energy consumption. OPTIMYZER high-bay sensors are now also available in low-temperature versions for applications to -40°F, an ideal solution for warehouses located in colder regions and for refrigerated storage environments like food processing and pharmaceutical applications.

“Hubbell’s expanded high-bay product line enables our customers to have more control over their energy consumption in a wider range of applications,” says product manager Nate Herring. “More customers will now be able to take advantage of significant savings from automatically turning off high-bay fixtures when areas are vacant. They will also ensure energy code compliance and help obtain more points towards LEED certification.”

All OPTIMYZER high-bay occupancy sensors feature an advanced digital passive infrared (PIR) sensor, a specially designed lens, and coverage masks that provide aisle, end-of-isle, and wide area coverage in a single product. The sensor is available in single circuit and a dual circuit configuration that employs Hubbell’s patented Smart Cycling technology for maximizing lamp life.

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.
