Vegadif 65 Provides Flow-Pressure Measurements

Vega's Vegadif 65 differential pressure transmitter provides reliable measured values in flow, density and interface applications. It comes with a metallic, piezoresistive measuring cell and has a pressure range of 10mbar to 40 bar. The Vegadif 65, like the IP 68 version, includes remote electronics for deployment areas that are very wet, humid or poorly accessible, or where the display can be read more easily without having to use capillaries.

The instrument offers a range of housings in plastic, aluminium and stainless steel, and in single- or double-chamber formats to optimise adaptation to customer requirements. A range of process connections and chemical seals in a variety of materials is available. Isolating systems can be installed via the scaled-down process fitting assembly, along with various diaphragm materials such as Monel or Tantalum. Process temperatures of -40 to 400C and static process pressures up to 420bar can be accommodated.

With its 4-20mA/Hart, Profibus PA and Foundation Fieldbus signal outputs, Vegadif 65 can be integrated into standard control systems. Setup and commissioning is carried out via the Plicscom module or with a PC using Pactware adjustment software and other commercially available tools such as PDM, AMS or field communicators.

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.
