‘Transformers’
A Engineeringtalk guide
Start with the news release
Ring lug terminals complete terminal block system from
Phoenix Contact, which we summarised at the time by saying "The RT ring lug terminals product line rounds out the Clipline complete terminal block system from Phoenix Contact with a robust bolt terminal technology for cables fitted with ring lug terminals. ".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release IEE regulations recognise flaw with static UPS from
Power Systems International: "IEE Wiring Regulations require that static UPS must be capable of operating circuit protective devices when the inverter is operating in battery (emergency) mode during a mains power failure. ".
In September 2008, we covered the news from WEG Electric Motors (UK)
- take a look at WEG releases CWC025 25A contactor
which says: "Rated for motor operation current up to 25A, WEG's CWC025 contactor provides reduced dimensions for panel and control cabinets. ".
Take a look also at the news release from Vydas International Marketing, Vydas releases Universal Power Cell ,
as well as Inertial unveils synchro/resolver output cards from Inertial Aerosystems UK,
and Euroclamp launches DIN rail enclosures from Switchtec.
