No-Wear Isolation of Potentials in Terminal Block Design



The TERMOPTO opto modules are characterised by a particularly compact design, pluggable cross-connections and an optimal price-performance ratio.

TERMOPTO offers a compact, electronic alternative to the electromechanical relay for electrical isolation and signal conditioning. Instead of an electromechanical solution that is susceptible to wear, a maintenance-free and compact terminal block with integrated electrical isolation is used. This saves space, reduces the amount of servicing and increases system availability. In addition, the overall accessory needs are reduced, because cross-connectors and markers from the terminal portfolio can be used.

Compact design reduces space requirements in the switching cabinet by > 80 % compared to conventional relay solutions. Wear-free semiconductor switches and extensive protective circuits ensure long service life and reliable switching cycles. LED status indicator provides information on the switching state. Closed design for space-saving, side-by-side arrangement. No end plate necessary; the electronics are mechanically protected. PUSH IN screwless connection system and the pluggable cross-connection reduce wiring time by > 50 %.

The TERMOPTO opto module is used in industrial applications in which electrical isolation and signal conditioning without switching amplification is sufficient.

The compact design in terminal-block format saves space on the rail and offers the option of a pluggable cross connection.

The choice between 10 input voltages and 3 output voltages as well as between screw or PUSH IN connection technology gives 60 variations for different applications.

The integrated protective circuit ensures sufficient protection in applications with resistive as well as slightly inductive and capacitive loads. For purely inductive, capacitive or comparable loads with high switch-on and switch-off peaks, such as solenoid valves or filament lamps, ensure that the module is dimensioned appropriately or an additional safeguard is used.

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.
