Littelfuse: Short Circuit Current Ratings
A short-circuit current rating (SCCR)1 is the maximum current a device or system can safely withstand for a specified time (such as 0.05 seconds), or until a specified fuse or circuit breaker opens and clears the circuit. SCCR is usually expressed in kiloamperes (kA). SCCR labeling requirements create a safe installation and help manufacturers, owners and managers meet OSHA regulations and NFPA codes and standards.

Siemens' Tips for Panel Builders Series - Part 7: Door Coupling Rotary Operating Mechanism According to IEC Standards
Control panels in the international market are subject to requirements for protection against direct contact and electric shock according to IEC 61439-1/2 (Low-voltage switchgear and controlgear assemblies) and IEC 60204-1 (Safety of machinery). To comply with these requirements, it must be ensured that live parts cannot be touched under normal operating conditions.
The IEC standards specify that enclosure doors must be interlocked according to certain specifications but at the same time allow maintenance and service work by skilled electricians.

Orion Fans: IP69K-Rated Fans - Protection for Wash-Down Applications
Orion Fans IP69K-rated AC and DC fans are the optimal solution for restrictive environments. The IP69K rating ensures that no damage will occur to electronics during washdown procedures and that no contaminants will enter the fan motor. These fans are rigorously spray tested with 80°C water every 30 seconds with the spray nozzle being 4-6 inches from the fan. The water sprays from 4 angles and is considered a high-pressure stream.
What You Need to Know About Lockout/Tagout Audits
To maintain compliance with OSHA lockout/tagout standard 1910.147, it is required to perform annual inspections of both the procedures and employee competency in lockout/tagout practices. Annual audits are an important part of a lockout/tagout program because audits can reveal inconsistencies and problems.
When it comes to annual audits, there are three main steps to complete:
- - LOTO procedure audit
- - Authorized employee compliance review
- - Addressing any deficiencies in people, procedures, and processes
The Many Types of Inconsistencies in Barcode Printing and Marking
Variations in the printing or marking method of barcodes and direct part marks (DPMs) - including poor ink distribution, incorrect thermal printer heat settings, or uneven pressure in surface abrasion - can hamper readability. Since no-reads can make production inefficient, it's important to understand the types of print/mark inconsistencies and their causes.
Here, each category of inconsistency will be defined and then some possible solutions discussed.
