Design studyThe new OBO LightningControllerAt the time of the launch ofOBO Bettermann’s newcorporate image, it’s rightthat this unique and ergonomicallyperfect form should emerge fromthe studios of the industrial designers.According to Arthur D. Little, formerleading designer and one ofthe pioneers for whom industrialdesign equates to product design,”Industrial design concentrateson series-produced products andservices”. In other words, not onlyis product design dependent onaesthetic styling, but the formmust also incorporate key featuressuch as ease of installationand functionalism. Typical OBO.This is the concept behind thespecial OBO quality strategy. Inlight of the new OBO corporateimage, the values and claimsrecently formulated by OBO havebeen specified for architects anddesigner:OBO is the brand of the professional.OBO is an independent manufacturerof innovative products forthe world market.Such a broad claim on a worldscale is naturally preceded byinternal changes – efficient teamorganisation, a democratic managementstyle, and unsurpassedquality awareness. Our jointforces for the market, customersand results come from the inside.This is the decisive factor whichcertainly distinguishes us from anumber of competitors.Design is essential. In a time oftransparent, global, contractingand equalising markets, whichmakes it difficult to differentiateproducts from those of competitors,industrial design makes adecisive contribution to individuality.The new OBO spark gaps typeMC 50-B VDE and MC 125-B/NPEare a classic example. See foryourself (photo). This product innovationfor the ”Light + building”show has adopted a perfectlytailored form, a true designermodel. The electrical engineerknows from his everyday workthat the aesthetic standard demandedfor a complete installationhas risen. The OBO spark gapreflects the awareness that engineeringis a decisive factor inarchitecture, which has enabledus to raise the OBO quality to anew dimension.Complete range:OBO cable glands for use inexplosive atmospheresFurtherinformation willbe found in theVBS catalogueVery high requirementsapply to the qualityof cable glands foruse in explosive atmospheres.OBO produces these componentsin all common designs and dimensions.Available in both plastic andmetal, with various metric threadsizes. These cable glands are suitablefor introduction of cables intohousings with EExe’ (increasedsafety) and EExi’ (intrinsic safety)protection classes, in machinegroup II and categories 2 and 3.The OBO cable glands fulfil all therequirements of the Atex 100aregulation, comply with the relevantEx protection standards andmaintain the existing protectionlevel.14
PG is out, metric is inAstep forwards in sizestandards: the Pg system,common in Germany fordecades, is being replaced by themetric system customarily usedin other countries.The changes affect the followingproduct ranges: electrical installation conduits cable glands and connectors cable junction boxes installation boxes anddistribution boxesPg 48M 63Pg 42Pg 36M 50External diameterPg 29Pg 21/23Pg 16Pg 13,5Pg 11Pg 9M 40M 32M 25M 20M 16 consumer units and terminalboxes (e.g. for motors) switch cabinets, enclosedswitch and control gear enclosures in generalSeries Pg 7 to Pg 48 will be replacedby the metric series M 12to M 63. Instead of the ten Pgsizes, in future there will just be8 metric sizes.Sealing rangePgPG 21PG 16PG 13,5PG 11M 32PG 9 M 25PG 7 M 20M 16PG 29M 40MetricPG 36M 50PG 42PG 48M 63The conversion of the cable glands,pipes and housings is based onthe international metric measurementstandard DIN EN 60423.The table shown here gives anoverview of the changes.M 12Data line protection unitsFurtherinformation willbe found in theVBS catalogueEffective protection for ATM computer networksThe protection of data cablesis becoming increasinglyimportant as the computernetworks and electronic data processingsystems connected to thesecables are particularly sensitiveto power surges. With data cableprotection unit RJ45S-ATM/8-F,OBO now offers an effective fineand medium protection unit forATM computer networks with amaximum data rate of 155 MHz.The unit is based on STPRJ45plug connectors (Cat. 5) and hasuniversal application even in othernetwork systems thanks to itscomplete protection of all eightcores.15
