The New VARTA Professional Batteries for The Open Seas and Open Roads

Johnson Controls is presenting two new battery ranges for use in water sports, caravans and camper vans at the boot 2011 fair. They are highly reliable and maintenance-free - the right choice for rough conditions on board.

When you are out and about on the water or in natural surroundings, you need to know that you can rely 100% on your power supply battery, especially when extreme conditions are involved. Johnson Controls has the perfect products for such situations. The battery specialist has launched two new ranges of batteries for boats, caravans and camper vans under its brand name VARTA Professional. They boast improved performance and have been developed specifically to cope with the increasing number of electrical devices found on board. The batteries are a reliable source of power for places without electricity sockets and are now available as improved wet cell batteries and in a high-performance AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) version. The leading battery manufacturer will be unveiling both battery versions to the public at the boot 2011 fair.

The robust VARTA Professional Deep Cycle is just the ticket if what you need is a power supply for a large number of electrical devices. It offers a high degree of performance, and is almost twice as cyclically stable as conventional batteries, thanks to its new and improved wet cell technology. The battery is maintenance-free thanks to a special Labyrinth lid. And with its minimal self-discharge, it is perfect for seasonal use.

The VARTA Professional Deep Cycle AGM draws on the very best battery technology currently available, namely AGM technology. The battery acid is held in a glass mat, with the open structure of the glass mat and the small spacing between the electrodes resulting in a good discharging capacity and high resistance to knocks and shocks.

Together with the battery's excellent cyclic stability, this means the battery will last for a long time. It is securely sealed and is therefore 100% leak-proof. All of these traits make it a reliable partner away from campsites and moorings too.

With VARTA Professional Deep Cycle and VARTA Professional Deep Cycle AGM, Johnson Controls has developed two extremely efficient and high-performance battery ranges that set new standards for batteries used on boats and yachts, in camper vans and caravans, and which give users maximum freedom and flexibility when far away from coastlines and civilization.

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.
