Harting has introduced new crimp termination versions of its Han(R) Q 2/0
family of high-voltage power interface connectors.
The connectors use Harting's proven Han(R) C power  contacts in the
cross-section range from 1.5 mm2 to 10 mm2 or 16 AWG to 8 AWG.

ABB recently appointed Neil Ritchie to head up its AC drives sales business in the UK. Neil replaces Steve Ruddell, who after 10 years in the role, has moved into a global position within ABB. For a similar duration, Neil has been managing ABB’s service activities for drives and motors. His appointment, therefore, is a timely reminder of the emphasis that manufacturers place on service to retain customer loyalty. Electrical Review caught up with Neil to see how he views the business
Drives today are very reliable. What role does service play?
You are right, today’s drives are clearly ultra-reliable – they have fewer components, use well proven and tested technology and have the best engineering support infrastructure. Yet, just like motor vehicles, there is a need to look after the drive and regularly service it. Like any electronic device there are components within a drive that by their nature will degrade, such as electrolytic capacitors, power semiconductors and fans. When components degrade unchecked then this has a direct impact on the drive’s ability to save energy.

Thursday 16 June marked an important milestone for the energy efficiency of low-voltage (LV) motors in Europe.
ABB has welcomed the European Union's (EU's) introduction of minimum efficiency levels for LV motors, as the new requirements are in-line with ABB's focus on providing customers with high efficiency motors both for the NEMA (National Electrical Manufacturers Association) market in the U.S. and IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) market throughout the rest of the world. Industry accounts for about 42% of the world's electricity consumption and about two-thirds of that electricity is used to power electric motors, so any regulation to improve energy efficiency of motors will have a significant impact on energy usage and help reduce carbon emissions.
The requirements, in the form of Commission Regulation EC 640/2009, came into effect on 16 June 2011. Generally referred to as EU MEPS (Minimum Energy Performance Standard), the requirements cover most two, four and six pole motors in the power range 0.75-375 kW (kilowatt) for alternating current (AC) power supply frequencies of 50 and 60 Hz (Hertz).
