Selco Products Introduces New NTC Thermistor Probe Housing that Meets High Pressure Applications Through 300 PSI

In response to market demand,Selco Products has introduced a new High Pressure Stainless Steel Probe Housing option for their customizable CP Series Thermistors. The new housing enables the CP Thermistors to withstand pressures through 300 PSI in a variety of applications. This latest design demonstrates Selco’s specialized capabilities to develop custom thermistor housings in varying shapes, lengths, materials and diameters at cost-effective price points.

The new housing features a stainless steel wall thickness that achieves a 300 PSI rating. Thermistor accuracies of ±0.1ºC to ±10% can be packaged in customized high pressure housings per the OEM’s specifications.  

Typically, thermistors are offered with a standard 100 PSI stainless steel housing rating. 300 PSI rated thermistors are not available as an off-the-shelf product and many manufacturers are not equipped to provide such a customized product at an affordable price.

“The development of this new thermistor option really characterizes Selco’s ability to develop application-specific solutions for our customers, explains Mike Dobson, Selco Products Thermistor Product Manager. “It is not unusual for us to design a custom thermistor assembly that meets or exceeds customer expectations. Engineers need flexibility for their designs and our unlimited options help them achieve that.”

Selco can customize the CP Series to meet exact application requirements for probe housing materials, lead wire gauges, insulation types, and connectors.  Probes are available in a wide variety of R-T curve materials and are RoHS compliant. Excellent field stability is assured from years of experience in thermistor manufacturing coupled with stringent process controls.  In addition to its custom thermistor product capabilities, Selco offers a full line of discrete thermistors including precision interchangeable, DO-35, thin film, point matched, epoxy coated, and SMT products.

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.
