Power management company Eaton has introduced the C308F Bussmann Series of fast-acting, ceramic tube fuses for intrinsic safety requirements used in hazardous environments such as network barriers and other equipment used in mines, oil drilling structures, gas stations, gas meters, chemical refineries and hazardous material transportation. Intrinsic Safety (IS) is universally recognized under the specification EN60079-11, which is a low-energy signalling technique that prevents explosions from occurring during industrial activity by ensuring that the energy transferred to a hazardous area is well below the energy required to initiate an explosion.
The C308F series has been designed for manufacturers of intrinsically safe barrier networks who need fast-acting devices that prevent explosions in extremely hazardous conditions. The C308F fuse line offers advanced overcurrent protection that meets internationally-defined safety requirements where electrical equipment is required in the presence of highly volatile materials.
The C308F fuse series utilises a ceramic tube construction which meets EN60079-11 standards for explosive environments and delivers a high interrupting rating for circuit protection up to 250 volts (V) and 250 milliAmperes (mA) for both alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC) power. The fuses are fast-acting and provide a high breaking capacity of 4,000 amperes (A) in a compact 3 x 8.4-millimeter size. The fuses can also be specified with optional axial leads (pig tails).
The C308F Bussmann series fuses can be used in intrinsically safe devices defined according to the international standard by the International Society for Automation (ANSI/ISA-RP12.6: less than1.5V, less than 0.1A, and less than 25 milliWatt during operation) such as contactors, thermocouples, LEDs, non-inductive potentiometers and resistors. They can also be used for non-simple devices such as transmitters, transducers, solenoid valves, and relays.

STMicroelectronics are powering the next generation of Industry 4.0 applications with a new vibration-sensing solution optimized to enable smart maintenance of factory equipment. The IIS3DWB is a system-in-package MEMS sensor featuring a 3-axis digital vibration sensor with low noise over an ultra-wide and flat frequency range. The wide bandwidth, low noise, very stable and repeatable sensitivity, together with the capability of operating over an extended temperature range (up to +105 °C), make the device particularly suitable for vibration monitoring in industrial applications.
