New ASXP-LS Current Switches from NK Technologies Take Complexity Out of Monitoring High-Current Loads
New switches deliver superior reliability, long-term durability and easy installation
SAN JOSE, CA – NK Technologies introduces ASXP-LS Current Switches – a combination current transformer and signal conditioner designed specifically for monitoring large loads. The ASXP-LS Current Switches feature electromechanical relay output, external power source, simple field setpoint adjustment and easy installation. The mechanical relay contact provides a trouble-free, durable alarm or interlock, improving safety and overall system reliability, while the selectable "Fail Safe" operation provides protection for critical loads.

ASXP-LS Current Switches are used to monitor large machines for over- or under-load conditions, detect open discharge lines and sense clogged filters. They can also monitor generators to shed non-critical loads when demand reaches a set level. Key features inlcude:
*Split-Core Housing: Allows sensor to be installed over existing conductors
*Easy Installation: Snap onto DIN rail or attach to back panel through sensor base
Larger Sensing Aperture: Large window (2.3" w x 3.42" h) easily accommodates conductors and multiple wires per phase
*Electromechanical Relay Output: Use with AC or DC control circuits and for no-volt inputs (e.g. timing relay triggers)
*Load Start Delay: Adjustable delay allows large motors to start against high-inertia loads without tripping
*Wide Range: Four models available with trip points between 200 – 1600 amps
*Accepted Worldwide: Designed to meet UL, CUL, and CE requirements

Vecoplan - Planning and implementation of complete processing plants in refuse derived fuel production
In order to reduce the costs involved in the energy-intensive production of cement, many manufacturers are turning to refuse-derived fuels (RDF), considerably reducing the proportion of expensive primary fuels they would normally use. Solid fuels are being increasingly used - these might be used tyres, waste wood or mixtures of plastics, paper, composite materials and textiles. Vecoplan provides operators of cement plants with proven and robust components for conveying the material and separating iron and impurities, efficient receiving stations, storage systems and, of course, efficient shredders for an output in various qualities.
