DC Fans Suitable For Telecom Racks And Ventilation

Orion Fans has developed a series of low-profile, stackable DC fans suitable for telecom racks and enclosures and for ventilation in appliances and white goods. The OD172SAPL Series stackable, low-profile, aluminium DC fans feature two flat sides and measure 172 x 150 x 38mm. David Luna, the company's product marketing manager, said: 'While comparable fans of this size are round, the SAPL frame features two flat sides that allow for stacking them side by side with no wasted space.

'As a result, these fans are much lower profile than typical 172mm round fans, making them ideal for a variety of applications, including telecom racks and enclosures, as well as for ventilation in appliances and white goods, such as cooling and refrigeration units,' he added. The OD172SAPL Series fans are constructed with a die-cast aluminium frame and a PBT, UL94V-0 plastic impeller. The fans feature a dual-ball-bearing system and a polarity-protected, auto-restart, brushless DC motor.

The DC fans are also available with tachometer (5V/TTL) output, a locked rotor alarm (5V/TTL) and thermistor, pulse-width-modulation and constant speed controls. Available in 12VDC, 24VDC and 48VDC versions, the OD172SAPL fans feature voltage ranges from 8V to 14V, 15V to 28V and 28V to 63V respectively. Airflow ranges from 120CFM to 225CFM, with speeds from 2,000rev/min to 4,000rev/min and maximum static pressure from 0.35H2O to 0.73H2O. The operating temperature ranges from -20C to +80C, while life expectancy (L10) is to 60,000 hours.

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.
