Torque and power monitoring
Binsfeld Engineering Inc. has announced the release of the new TorqueTrak TPM2 torque and power monitoring system for applications such as
wind turbines, marine, automotive, and hydro power generation. he TPM2 model features a digital RS422 full duplex, serial interface with user

selectable sample rates ranging from 10 to 4800 samples/second. Signal resolution is 15 bits for eight input ranges from 0 to 32mV/V down to 0
to 0.25mV/V.
TPM2 setup and coniguration is easy and convenient with BEI- supplied software. System changes can safely be made away from the shaft
using the RS422 interface.

he TorqueTrak TPM2 uses strain gage technology and does not require shaft modiication or machine disassembly. he TorqueTrak TPM2
is a solution for continuous long-term measurement and is available for shaft diameters from 0.75"(19mm) to 40" (1016mm).

Anderson Power Products (APP)
introduces the Saf-D-Grid 300,

designed speciically for single-phase AC
applications requiring higher voltages,
smaller size, and expanded current
carrying capability. Saf-D-Grid 300 uses

a silver-plated, pure copper contact
system and durable thermoplastic
insulators. Conigurations allow up
to 30A and 300V within the same

panel cutout as IEC 60320 C13 / C14
connectors.
Features include separate mechanical
keys for 10A and 20A conigurations

which prevent accidental overloading
of wires not rated to carry the current.
A future 30A key expands the power
handing capabilities to 140% of

comparably sized IEC connectors, in a
size 80% smaller than NEMA connectors
with similar power handling capabilities.

Saf-D-Grid 300 has a maximum

Both the plug and receptacle side
are touch-safe to maximize operator

touch safety also enables the simplicity
of using the same receptacle for both
power inlet and outlet connections.
he integral latch on the plug housing

prevents accidental disconnect of power
without the need for added accessories.
An optional ground-tied shield is
available to minimize the EMI proile of

power supplies.
