Pipeline Welder has Smooth and Quiet Operation

Lincoln Electric has introduced the SAE-300 engine-driven welder, which is specifically designed for pipeline welding, as well as construction and maintenance applications. The new machine features Lincoln's Dual Continuous Control technology, which allows a welder to adjust two dials on the control panel for a precise setting of both voltage and current. Welders can adjust the arc for a snappy 'digging' arc for root and hot passes on pipe with cellulosic electrodes, or for a soft 'buttery' arc for pipe welding with low hydrogen electrodes.

The SAE-300 supplies 300A of welding power at 60 per cent duty cycle with a maximum output of 350A. This machine's capabilities allow for an operator to stick weld up to 7/32in electrodes and arc gouge with up to 1/4in carbons. The unit is equipped with a 32.7HP Perkins 404D-22 four-cylinder water-cooled diesel engine, which runs at 1,800rpm to ensure smooth, quiet operation with long life. Standard oil pressure, engine temperature and battery-charging gauges allow operators to monitor vital engine performance indicators at a glance.

The 60.6-litre fuel tank allows operators to work an extended day without refuelling. The machine's pure DC-generator welding output is produced from a proven rotating armature/field coil system that has been manufactured for many years by Lincoln Electric. The SAE-300 can also be used to power tools, grinders (up to 9in) and lights through the machine's 115V AC or 230V AC duplex receptacles, which supply up to 3,000W of auxiliary power.

For a limited time, Lincoln Electric is running a special promotion for buyers of a new SAE-300. With the purchase of a new machine, owners have the opportunity to order a free durable brass nameplate personalised with their name and the unit's serial number. Instructions on ordering the custom nameplate are in the information packet enclosed with each new SAE-300.

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.
