MIG Inverter Welders for Mild Steel and Aluminium

GYS has launched the Pearl and Pearl XL single-phase MIG inverter welders designed for small to medium-sized companies undertaking light fabrication and maintenance work. The welders are also suitable for craftsmen and DIY enthusiasts. The Pearl and Pearl XL welders are suitable for welding mild steel, aluminium and stainless steel using standard MIG or flux-cored welding wires. The feature GYS power management technology; integrated flexible voltage, which automatically adapts to any voltage in the range 85-265V; and power factor correction technology, which increases efficiency.

In combination, these features are said to overcome power supply problems caused by imperfect generators or long extension leads. A feature of these machines is GYS's synergic welding technology, which gives the welder good welding characteristics including a perfectly controlled welding current to give a very stable arc, producing a smooth weld bead requiring no further finishing. To achieve this, all the welder has to do is program the current and sheet thickness, then weld.

If the operator wishes, traditional manual setting of the welding parameters can be selected. On the front panel two control knobs and a large digital screen allow the welder to easily set the required parameters. The specification also extends to both machines being supplied with a Euro removable welding torch and earth clamp, plus a fixed power cable. In addition, the Pearl XL will accommodate a large 15kg wire reel, feeding it through a four-roller system.

The 230V Pearl is rated 120A at 60 per cent duty cycle using a 13A plug and 0.6-0.8mm-diameter MIG wire as well as 0.9mm flux-cored wires, both from either 100mm- or 200mm-diameter wire spools. It weighs 10kg. The 230V Pearl XL is rated 120A at 60 per cent duty cycle using a 13A plug and 0.6-1.00mm diameter MIG wire as well as 0.9mm flux-cored wire, both from either 200mm- or 300mm-diameter wire spools. It weighs 18kg.

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.
