These breakers come in two versions — one with magnetic trip element for short-circuit protection and the other with thermal and magnetic trip elements for overload and short-circuit protection. They can be used by themselves as manual motor controllers, and they also work well with Series 300 contactors in group motor installations. An ON/OFF manual operator makes it easy to isolate motor circuits without disconnecting all of a control panel's circuits. They have visual trip indicators for easy spotting of tripped circuits, and a test function for verifying device performance and proper control circuit operation. They have a modular design and come with accessories such as auxiliary contacts, shunt and undervoltage release modules, and wiring accessories. They come in universal ratings and markings: A, kW and HP ratings, plus applicable third-party certification markings.
Our LinkedIn systems and product design engineering group discusses if they are happy with their decision of remaining a technical contributor instead of becoming a manager.
Against a backdrop of mounting product complexity and a need to keep a lid on development costs, companies are recognizing a need to make simulation a more integral part of the design process. In response, vendors in the CAD world are building out CAE functionality as part of their CAD suites while simulation vendors are building tighter integrations to leading CAD tools. Keith Meintjes, Ph.D., Practice Manager, Simulation and Analysis at CIMdata, Inc., joins Design News CAD Editor Beth Stackpole in this radio program to explore the new face of integrated CAD and CAE, how companies are benefitting from this tighter partnership between platforms, and how integrating CAE earlier in the development cycle pays off in optimized product designs.
