    Class II Div 2 and Dust tight

    We are renovating a room that has been classified Class II, Division 2. I have asked my collegues about certain items on similar applications that did not have a Class II certification, but were considered dust-tight. (Such as data connections). Their opinion is that dust-tight (gasketed) items...

    CLASS II but not CLASS I

    I have an application when some rooms are classified Class II, Div 2, group G. I have been looking for receptacles that are only for Class II but it seems that they are all class I and II.

    Wye-Delta Starter

    I need to supply wye-delta motor starters for equipment going to Europe. I was shocked by the pricing I received on the units. I thought these where not much more than a standard motor starter with an additional contactor and some timing hardware. Can these be made from individual components?

    Coal Fired Boiler Flame Scanners

    If the temperature of the chamber is above 760 deg C, you can do a "purge bypass" according to NFPA 86. You need a separately derived temperature sensor and a stand alone controller. We use this system in industrial gas fired furnaces.
