JOFRA® CSC201 Compact Signal Calibrator Offers Accuracy and Fumctionality in Compact Design

The new JOFRA® CSC201 compact signal calibrator from AMETEK Test & Calibration Instruments offers users an easy-to-use, handheld device for calibrating thermocouples and RTDs (resistance temperature detectors). The rugged, high-accuracy calibrator is a convenient tool for process engineers and ideal for both field calibration and workshop use.

AMETEK designed the CSC201 to meet the high-accuracy demands of modern sensors and transmitters. A large number of predefined sensors types are available. The instrument can calibrate 14 types of RTDs and 13 types of thermocouples, providing ohms, mV and custom RTD curves. The versatile CSC201 works with pulsed excitation transmitters and programmable logic controllers and, when combined with a JOFRA APM external pressure module or a JOFRA calibration pump, will measure and calibrate pressure as well.

The CSC 201 features an intuitive user interface with advanced step and ramp functions, including easy zero, full span entry and user-defined time settings. All functions are displayed on a large ClearBrite™ graphical display that provides an excellent overview of all information in a single window. In addition, the CSC201 has fuseless protection that protects the instrument from voltage overloads up to 250 VAC.

All JOFRA handheld calibrators are supplied in a handy soft case that permits operation in the case. A convenient internal storage pocket offers space for test leads and accessories.

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.
