We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Transformer",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Hydrogen monitors are intrinsically safe from
Quantitech, which we summarised at the time by saying "The Hy-Alerta 1600 hydrogen area monitor and Hy-Optima 1700 hydrogen process monitor are now available for operation in potentially explosive atmospheres".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release Transformer breathers avoid desiccant replacement from
Brownell: "Desiccant self-regeneration is accomplished using the transformer's natural and environmental thermal cycle".
In January 2008, we covered the news from Block UK
concerning its Harmonic filter modules
- take a look at The true price of power supply harmonics
which says: "Bob Liddle explains how to reduce the effects of harmonic distortion on power supply lines, thereby eliminating equipment failures and cutting production downtime, repair and replacement costs".
Take a look also at the news release from ESAB, Welding kit is ideal package,
as well as Drive packages come ready to use from Rockwell Automation,
and Turnkey MV motor system moves monster crane from WEG Electric Motors (UK).
