Milwaukee® Redefines Productivity for Wire Trades with Revolutionary New Cable Cutter

Milwaukee Electric Tool Corporation delivers a revolutionary solution for cutting large diameter cable with the introduction of the M12™ 600 MCM Cable Cutter.  With a compact design and powerful cutting mechanism, this tool will newly define true productivity by eliminating two of the most difficult aspects of installations: fitting the cutting tool in panels/boxes and generating enough force to get the job done.

“Due to the cost of most cordless options, users have been forced to use hand tools that require a tremendous amount of force and can be extremely awkward to use in crowded panels,” says Corey Dickert, Sr. Product Manager, Cordless for Milwaukee Electric Tool Corporation. “With an open jaw and a breakthrough powered ratcheting mechanism, Milwaukee® delivers a tool that puts out over 5,000 pounds of force, fits into tight spaces, and simplifies one of the most difficult jobs an electrician, datacomm, utility, or service contractor faces.”

With a 2-Speed gear case, the M12™ 600 MCM Cable Cutter delivers the power necessary to cut large cable, but also enables the user to switch into high speed and slice quickly through more frequent wires that are approximately 4/0 and lower. The M12™ 600 MCM Cable Cutter can cut through several wire types commonly encountered by the user such as Copper, Aluminum, SER Cables, G-Type, Paired Communication Cable, and Underground Cable. With up to a 600 MCM copper and 750 MCM aluminum capacity, the tool is applicable to virtually all large commercial projects, but has a compact size that will be ideal for service trades.

In addition, the tool will include the new Milwaukee® 48-44-0410 Cable Cutter Blade, which can also be purchased separately as a replacement, and the multi-voltage charger to allow users to charge all M12™ and M18™ batteries with one charger.

Powered by revolutionary M12™ RED LITHIUM™ Battery technology*, the new cable cutter can deliver up to 150 cuts of 500 MCM copper per charge and is compatible with the entire M12™ System, now offering over 40 cordless Lithium-Ion products.  The M12™ platform is the largest sub-compact system in the industry, offering innovative solutions in power, productivity, and portability.

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.
