Hitachi Introduces the Next Economical Simple Inverter


Hitachi America, Ltd., Industrial Components & Equipment Division, today announced the launch of its next generation inverter, the NE-S1. Hitachi America, Ltd. is now pleased to offer these economical and simple to use inverters in the popular HP range of 1/2 to 3 hp. The NE-S1 is designed to be ultra-compact to meet the needs of both OEMs and System Integrators.

The NE-S1 variable frequency drive offers the end user and integrator the ability to use the control as is out of the box, with popular preconfigured and simple defaults settings. In addition, a wide variety of options are available to configure the control for a specific application. These powerful pre-configured inverters allow for the use of remote mounted speed potentiometers, contacts or switches, and preset speed selections without any parameter changes thus saving time during the installation and integration process.

A wide variety of keypad options are also available to make the NE-S1 inverter a full keypad configurable unit, complete with a built-in speed potentiometer. High volume applications will benefit from the use of our downloadable ProDriveNext software to configure the inverter for further flexibility. The NE-S1 allows for the end user to choose the level of customization required that best fits their application, offering the best overall installed value.

A variety of sophisticated features and options are available within this simple speed control offering such as:

  • Pre-configured parameters
  • Optional field installed operator display
  • 3-wire start/stop compatible
  • RS-485 Modbus RTU standard
  • Logic & time delay functions built in
  • Energy saving function standard
  • CE/UL/cUL/c-Tick approval
  • Optional door mounted display
  • Loss of signal protection
  • Sink or source input compatible

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.
