Condensation, heavy precipitation, powerful water jets: When moisture meets electricity, a short circuit can happen quickly. Encapsulation is a proven solution. But now reliable moisture protection for splicing connectors can be achieved even more quickly and easily with the WAGO Gelbox. It is ready for immediate use in a wide range of low- and extra-low voltage applications.
Klein Tools, for professionals since 1857, recently introduced the AC/DC Voltage and Receptacle Electrical Tester Kit (Cat. No. ET45VP) for electricians, technicians and more to quickly diagnose potential electrical problems. “Both of these testers are tools that electricians use on a daily basis,” said Sabrina Kalsi, product manager at Klein Tools. “Pairing them together makes sense for the purpose of diagnosing potential electrical problems and allows us to feature two of our best-selling testers in a convenient value kit.”
Construction sites typically have several different contractors working simultaneously, which can make it hard to tell who owns the equipment and material being used to provide temporary power. General contractors, electrical contractors, generator sales, and rental companies all have equipment they use to bring power to the site. Cables are run along the ground to power tools, transformers, and other power distribution equipment, and it can be very tough to tell who owns the equipment and cables.
Klein Tools, for professionals since 1857, introduces a new line of electrical test kits, which offer their best-selling meters and testers in convenient, value-priced kits.
Siemens Smart Infrastructure presents the new Siprotec 5 Compact device, specially designed to address the demands of industrial applications, infrastructure and distribution grids. With its compact size, large number of inputs and outputs, and universal range of functions, it can be configured to meet the specific requirements associated with protecting feeders and motors.
RAFI has expanded its RAMO S selector switch series to include integrated M12 plug and play connectors that simplify assembly. The M12 terminals ensure that the necessary wiring effort is reduced to a minimum and that no extra enclosures with special sealing are required.
The metal housings in the Han EMV and Han HPR series are now also available in versions that enable contact inserts to be mounted from the rear — an option that simplifies the placement of interfaces on switch cabinet walls and increases the installation speed and thus lowers costs in the long term. HARTING has produced other connector types that feature a rear-fit mounting option.
Energy efficiency is a topic that HARTING is concerned with and for which the technology group offers specific solutions: With its Han S, HARTING has developed a series of connectors that enable customers to build energy storage systems on the basis of battery modules. The Han S is also the first HARTING-developed connector specifically designed for front-mounting energy storage systems.
Yokogawa Electric Corporation have recently announced that it has developed the TDLS8200 probe type tunable diode laser spectrometer and will release it for sale on May 6 as part of its OpreX™ Analyzer family. While featuring the same low installation cost, high measurement stability, and high reliability of the preceding TDLS8100, the TDLS8200 will be able to simultaneously measure oxygen, carbon monoxide, and methane gas concentrations directly and at high speed.
Yokogawa Test & Measurement Corporation recently announced that it has developed the 760903 current sensor element for use with the company’s world-class power measurement solution, the WT5000 precision power analyzer. The 760903 current sensor element includes a number of new features that simplify the setup and use of external current sensors. This new product will go on sale on April 6.
Klein Tools, for professionals since 1857, recently introduced a new line of conduit benders, available in both heavy-duty cast iron and easy-to-handle reinforced aluminum, both featuring new patent pending Angle Setters that create a hard stop resulting in fast and accurate bends. “Klein Tools has always been an innovator in terms of designing tools, and this new line up of conduit benders is no exception to that,” says Dan Pearson, senior product manager at Klein Tools.
The new Roxtec electrical continuity test stick enables you to check the electrical performance of cable transit installations using Roxtec BG or ES sealing modules. Just attach it to the cable shield or armor during installation to ensure a measuring point outside each sealing module. Then use any electrical continuity tester to measure the resistance between the cable shield or armor and the frame to get a quick indication of the electrical performance of the system.
B500ND is the first of a new generation of hand-held cordless tools, characterised by a “Bilinear” mechanical design. Equipped with a Smart Release system which automatically retracts the ram at the end of the operating cycle. B500ND is suitable for crimping electrical connectors onto conductor cross sections up to 600 MCM and uses the die sets common to all Cembre 6 tons tools and heads.
Marketplace innovation from Stahlin Enclosures has been highlighted by nearly 60 years of innovation. One of many examples is the availability of their Dead-Front Panels. These panels, used in conjunction with corner mounting posts, mount at the front of the enclosure. They are hinged on one side, secured to the other, and provide a larger working surface area when compared to the variable height swing panel.
As of mid-October in 2020, Allied Moulded Products, Inc. had expanded its line of premium enclosure accessories with two additional size HMI cover kits AMHMI86 (8″ x 6″) and AMHMI66 (6” x 6”). HMI cover kits are designed to provide protection for instruments or electronics requiring routine attention or detail. The cover kit features a strong and rigid design, mounting securely to the outside (flat surface) of any enclosure, and makes accessibility to electronic components easy.
