Eaton IEC 60309 Pin and Sleeve Devices

Eaton's Crouse-Hinds series pin and sleeve devices are the industry's first to offer IP69K rated protection.  Each device has been carefully engineered to offer reliability, efficiency and added safety protection in demanding wet locations, particularly where harsh wash downs are a must.

Plugs:
  •     Mechanical cord clamp with silicone grommet seal and locking screw ensures a positive and watertight strain relief system
  •     Tri-combo cord grip screws for convenience
  •     Durable impact-resistant thermoplastic body
  •     Color-coded front housing for easy and accurate identification of voltages
  •     Oversized grounding pin assures mating only with oversized female grounding sleeve; staggered contact to ensure ground makes first and breaks last
  •     Engineered thermoplastic material improves cold impact performance for 60A and 100A devices
Receptacles:
  •     Spring loaded self-closing cap with silicone gasket protects contacts when not in use; watertight cap meets IP67 and IP69K protection standards
  •     Rugged materials selected for use in wet locations; provides corrosion resistance
  •     Standard mounting footprints and blind holes provide interchangeability with major brands
Mechanical Interlocks:
  •     Compact design fits in the web of an I-beam, the smallest footprint in the industry
  •     Switch handles are designed to comply with OSHA lockout/tagout requirements
  •     Unique locking mechanism ensures that switch can only be energized when plug is fully mated
  •     Rugged Valox® housing provides superior corrosion and impact resistance
  •     Hidden hinge system allows full access to internal switch terminations and provides a clean solution in 4X environments

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

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

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.
