Harger Lightning & Groundings Ultraweld® UltraShot® Is Re-defining the Exothermic Process

Harger Lightning & Groundings Ultraweld® UltraShot® is re-defining the exothermic process. UltraShot® utilizes a copper container that is consumed along with the weld metal providing for a superior exothermic connection. UltraShot® is fired by an electronic ignition system which consists of a long lasting rechargeable battery controller. This unique ignition system features a six foot cord that allows the user to maintain a safe distance from the reaction. Several advantages of using UltraShot® over conventional processes are labor savings up to 50%, less misfires and less smoke, safer to use and extended mold life. As compared to another product on the market, the long lasting rechargeable battery life is equal to using 84,000 AA batteries! Thats a lot of batteries to put in a land fill. There is also less waste from not using plastic weld metal containers and the product is shipped in bio-degradable cardboard boxes.

Hubbell-Automation New High Bay Motion Sensor

Hubbell Building Automation, Inc. Announces HBA WASP2™

Fluorescent High Bay Occupancy Sensor Product Line

January 2011 – Austin, TX – Hubbell Building Automation, an industry leader in the development of cutting edge occupancy sensing technologies and products, announced today the release of the HBA WASP2 Fluorescent High Bay sensor product line.

Designed specifically for high mounting applications such as warehouses, distribution centers, and similar facilities, the HBA WASP2 sensors provide significant energy savings in addition to those typically associated with T5, T5HO and T8 fluorescent fixtures. By using this new sensor, facilities with fluorescent fixtures can expect an additional energy savings from 50 to 90%.

The new HBA WASP2 sensors provide the same key features as its predecessor – single and dual relay versions, easy to configure daylight sensors, and HBA’s exclusive Smart Cycling™ technology that maximizes lamp and ballast life by ensuring that all lamps received even burn time. New enhancements include:

Improved Design – The sensor now comes in two separately orderable components: sensor modules available in low voltage and line voltage versions, and easy to install interchangeable lens options for area and aisle applications.

Surface Mount Versions – In addition to the end mount version which easily mounts directly to fixtures through an extended ½ -inch chase nipple, HBA WASP2 now includes a surface mount version.

Built-In Daylight Sensor – To take advantage of the natural daylight in a controlled area, all models of the HBA WASP2 sensor feature a built-in photo-sensor to override lights off when there is sufficient ambient light. The surface mount sensors have a downward looking sensor and the end mount sensors include downward and upward looking sensors.

Low-temperature/Water-tight Versions – The HBA WASP2 sensor is also available in low-temperature/water-tight versions to support freezer applications and wet location applications. This special version of the sensor modules and lenses are IP65-compliant.

Building Automation System Integration – All low voltage HBA WASP2 sensors include an isolated relay with N/O and N/C outputs for easy integration with HVAC or Building Automation Systems.

Shelton, Conn. – Hubbell Wiring Systems announces a new Safety Evaluation, a step-by-step checklist designed to help customers enhance safety in the workplace. Part of Hubbell’s comprehensive HubbellSafe safety initiative, the new Safety Evaluation is aimed at reviewing the condition of existing wiring devices to identify potential safety hazards and comply with the latest safety codes.

From wet areas, personal protection, and tripping hazards, to temporary power, motor disconnects, and safe repair and maintenance, the Safety Evaluation covers a wide variety of safety issues found in both industrial and commercial working environments. For each potential safety hazard, the Safety Evaluation poses key inspection questions and details related National Electric Code (NEC), NEMA or OSHA requirement. To help correct identified problems, the Safety Evaluation offers possible solutions based on Hubbell’s wide range of products designed to provide electrical safety and code compliance.

“Workplace safety has a significant impact on our customers’ businesses, including employee safety and productivity, machine downtime and production throughput,” says Bob Simon, Director of Industrial Marketing for Hubbell. “Having always put safety first, Hubbell understands the importance of making safety a core value by conducting periodic inspections and maintaining awareness of related codes and regulations. While not all-inclusive, Hubbell’s new Safety Evaluation is designed to help our customers avoid safety problems in the workplace and ultimately reduce risk.”

Phoenix Contact Diode Power Supplies

MIDDLETOWN, Pa. – Phoenix Contact’s new Quint Diode power supplies are designed for redundant applications that require isolation and N+1 redundancy. Versions are available for use in both 12-24 V DC and 48 V DC operations.

The power supplies’ housings are made of extruded aluminum for improved cooling and longer service life. This also decreases the heat load in cabinets.

The Quint Diodes use MOSFETs, rather than Schottky or silicon diodes used in most redundant power supplies. These MOSFETs are up to 70 percent more efficient than standard diode components. This limits the effect of a diode module on the load of the power supplies.

The Quint Diodes carry UL 508 Listing as well as Class I, Division 2 Listing, making them well suited for installation in critical process industry applications.
