Finder has announced the introduction of a pair of panel thermostats designed to maintain constant temperature levels in control panels and enclosures. Suiting the needs of both simple and sophisticated heating and ventilation systems, the 7T Series thermostats help to improve component reliability and preserve instrumentation accuracy through enhanced temperature setting and control.
Ethos offers a simple, safe, economic solution to non-contact temperature monitoring. The Ethos 4625 will plug into most multimeters, clamp meters, oscilloscopes - in fact any instrument that has an mV setting.
Generator specialist, Dieselec Thistle is providing the standby generator for the International Broadcast Centre (IBC) in the Olympic Village.
A new Introduction to Power Factor Correction Guide produced by the BCMA (BEAMA Capacitor Manufacturers Association) and the ECA (Electrical Contractors Association) has been released, providing fundamental principals and key selection criteria when considering the installation of power factor correction (PFC) equipment to save energy, reduce losses and hence reduce CO2 emissions. Example data provided also demonstrates the financial savings available.
3M, the diversified technology company, has announced the launch of its ‘plug and play’ Multi-Fibre Push-On (MPO) solution for fibre cabling connections, designed to meet the challenges of high speed cabling and limited space typical in data centres. Features of the 3M solution include the highest fibre cable density available on the market – up to 96 connections on a single 1U rack unit – and a broad range of options, including OM3, OM4 and OS2 fibre standards.
Havells has introduced a range of Type B (three-phase) distribution boards for commercial and industrial applications. They are designed specifically for the UK market and offer design features to make installation safe and easy. These include options with pre-wired meters to enable contractors to satisfy the metering requirements of Building Regulations Part L2 easily and economically.
It has come to the attention of the engineers at FDB Panel Fittings that assembly of cabinets for electronic equipment can be a significant bottleneck in the production process with consequent downstream effects on productivity. Normally the idea of reducing time might also involve reducing quality in some way, but the solution was found in D-SNAP and SNAPLINE technology which actually offers very high quality outcomes with assembly time reduction in the order of 90%.
Eaton has launched a new guide for its power distribution product range entitled Smart solutions for electrical distribution in commercial and industrial applications.
Due to their exposed installation sites and large collection areas, photovoltaic (PV) installations are at a high risk of damage due to both direct and indirect lightning strikes. The subsequent damage from these surges can cause serious damage to PV installations, expensive inverters and the building electrical system.
