OSRAM SYLVANIA Introduces Distributed Array Family of LED Substitutes For Linear Fluorescent Systems

Continually at the forefront of solid-state lighting (SSL) innovation, North American lighting leader OSRAM SYLVANIA introduces its Distributed Array portfolio of LED systems designed to replace linear fluorescent systems with more efficient LED solutions while providing comparable or improved light quality. The flexible and innovative Distributed Array portfolio offers a solid-state alternative for fluorescent systems in ambient lighting applications ranging from offices to retail environments.

Available in four different board sizes, the Distributed Array boards consist of multiple low-power LEDs in a precise layout that enables thermal self-management and eliminates the need for supplemental heat sinking. The precise distribution of the low-power LEDs generates even, diffuse light, minimizing glare, maximizing optical efficiency and reducing “hot spots,” or dark areas often created between lamps of fluorescent systems. Aside from having an extended service life rated at 50,000 hours, the Distributed Array LEDs are dimmable to 10 percent, allowing for further flexibility and efficiency in a variety of applications.

Utilizing state of the art LED technology, the Distributed Array portfolio is also available in three high-performance modules, each offering a different balance of light output and efficacy for illumination applications. The “high efficacy” module delivers up to 120 lumens per watt with a slim profile ideal for fixtures designed for T5 lamps. The “high brightness” module designed for T8 lamps delivers over 1000 lumens with tight color control.  The “balanced performance” module is an energy efficient array driven at low current while maintaining color consistency. Thanks to its modular and intelligent design, the system simplifies luminaire design, while minimizing materials and reducing waste. The LED Distributed Array portfolio is RoHS compliant and UL recognized and exceeds both ANSI and IEC criteria for color tolerance of fluorescent lamps

Incredibly efficient, the OSRAM SYLVANIA LED Distributed Array LED modules are designed for optimum performance when paired with OPTOTRONIC® OT50 constant current power supplies for maximum system efficiency and life expectancy.

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.
