TECHNOLOGY IN ACTION
ABB introduces new 8 MW high voltage flameproof motor
vibration levels which increase reliability for an extended lifetime,
T and reduced maintenance
requirements for a lower cost of ownership. It is designed for fixed speed applications from 375 to 3,000 rpm and is especially suitable for driving pumps and compressors. ABB has launched a new high voltage flameproof induction motor that is certified up to IEC frame size 900 and rated up to 8 MW. With the new motor, ABB’s high voltage flameproof range is extremely broad: from 160 kW to 8 MW. These motors deliver a number of benefits which make life easier for the user. No purging is needed before starting, and no pressurisation system or inert gas is required. There is no thermal limitation for the ‘te’ time, and no need for a system test in variable-speed drive (VSD) applications – individual certification is not required.

ariohm EuroSensor has released its new ETP range of temperature probes based on a MEAS thermistor. To suit the broadest range of industrial, automotive and scientific applications for precision temperature measurement, four basic packaged design types are available that each offers a choice of options. The four designs conveniently mount the industry standard thermistor in a choice of Ø 4 mm PTFE or Ø 5 mm brass housings, ring terminal probes, or hexagonal head bolts. Within each packaged design, a standard off- the-shelf stock version is available with a 10K3 sensor

oftstart UK has introduced a new intelligent vector control micro drive that provides versatile control modes and includes built-in functionality. Manufactured by Delta Electronics – the world’s largest manufacturer of variable speed drives – the C200 brings advanced control and reliable operation to applications such as food packaging machinery, conveyors, textile machinery, woodworking machinery, fans and pumps. The built-in PLC functionality suits the drive to standalone use in distributed drive applications, eliminating the need for a separate PLC. The C200 offers a program capacity of up to 5000 steps, with input and output relays, internal relays, a high speed 16-bit counter and a 100ms timer. The PLC functions are programmed in an intuitive Windows environment through Delta’s user-friendly WPLSoft ladder editing software. The C200 supports both open and closed loop vector control, including sensorless open loop control of permanent magnet motors.
