I was at an 18th edition seminar last week run by Hager,
Hager have developed a 2’module afdd in partnership with Schneider, it incorporates an McB and must be used for all final circuits obviously you need an RCD in many applications so I can only see this done with an upfront RCD...
I suppose it would shut the plant down if one barrier was used and you could just have one explosion vent indicator and they would have to walk round to see what one, no big deal just handy if they can indicate what one from the panel.
Not when they are on the top floor and there’s a few of them. The main reason is to shut the elevator down. Traditionally no sensors were used and they were a paper like membrane, now they are stainless.
Specifically this would be on an bucket elevator carrying grain, which have extraction to...
Yes I noticed some has sil ratings in the spec.
I guess what I was asking was is there any situation where a standard relay would be sufficient bearing in mind these are high leve, I have used a safety relay in the past but thinking larger scale where there are multple elevators each would...
A “safety device” as in a safety relay?
The use of switch amplifiers is required when a intrinsically safe system is required, I cannot see the point of a instricically safe device being used when nothing else is rated for zone 2 and the fact that sensor is not actually in the zone, I would...
Hello,
How are closed loop sensors like the below and monitored integrated into a control system, isolation switches/switch amplifiers? These are typically used on explosion panels where when they blow off it snaps the cable or ceramic plate causing an open circuit.
(I’m Prepared for the...
I just copied and pasted from the datasheet, no I don’t do work in the US, in a previous life I used to do a fair bit of product design, most of which eventually went on to be sold in the US so it involved having our products UL approved, it was an absolute nightmare getting the stuff through!
Rob,
Thanks that has cleared the motor configuration up, the motor will be connected in the "inside delta" configuration however i will keep the soft star specification at 45Kw this will allow for frequent starting of the blower up to trip class 30, so it should increase reliability for the...
That’ll be fun connecing two 16mm swa into it, I’ll go for a steel version, hopefully it has plenty room inside.

I agree FLC is only 77Amp I was planning on a 100a mccb starting current should be relatively low with the soft start.
I have emailed fairfords for further advice.
The motor will be wired in the delta configuration however this has brought up more issues as the soft start is remote from the...

Thanks for the reply, so when it says line it means series as in two windings in series (star) however I can get away with using a smaller soft start if wired in delta. I need to clarify the the trip class so I’ll leave this until I find out.
Back to the circuit protection, I don’t...
Looking at using a fairford synergy soft start unit as below to start a 45kw motor, just wondering what it means by connected in line, I’m presuming they mean star but can see how the motor would run correctly being 400/690v rated...
