‘Transformer’

An Engineeringtalk guide

Start with the news release Weld controller manages three transformers from Merlin Control Systems, which we summarised at the time by saying "Merlin Control Systems has developed a version of the PWC8 range of weld control units that is suitable for multiple transformer machines, or more complex DC machines. ". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release WEG motors drive Brazilian theme-park attractions from WEG Electric Motors: "WEG motors, inverters and soft starters are allowing the safe operation of equipment at the Beto Carrero World theme park, located in Santa Catarina, Brazil. ".

In October 2009, we covered the news from Yokogawa UK - take a look at WT3000T tests transformers at low power factors which says: "Yokogawa's WT3000T is a precision power analyser targeted at the needs of the power-transformer industry. ".

Take a look also at the news release from LumaSense Technologies, Lumasmart temperature monitor is smart-grid ready, as well as GE Fanuc unveils Proficy Workflow for Smartgrid from GE Fanuc Intelligent Platforms UK, and White paper shows how LTC improves power factor from Eurotherm.
