Electrical and Electronic Equipment

Fast on the heels on its merger with BORRI S.p.A, AEC Power Control, now known as BORRI, has announced the expansion of its maintenance department. In addition to undertaking the servicing of AEC and BORRI products, the company will now be looking after the maintenance of all other brands of power equipment.

FDB Electrical are pleased to introduce the latest addition to their range of general purpose earth leakage protection units. The FDB2 is a compact 4-way RCBO unit that comes complete with overload and short circuit protection. It is considered ideal for all commercial and light industrial applications including offices, schools, railways, pharmaceutical plant and retail environments, e.g. supermarkets.

Power Electronics Systems (2006) Ltd announce today the availability of the SinuMEC Version 3. This new version of the Sinusoidal Motor Efficiency Controller uses the patented sinusoidal technology to add additional improvements that increase the efficiency of variable load motors running at constant speeds.

Mesan has launched fourteen new ranges of high security swing handles and multi-point locks. At the heart of the products is a lock manufactured by Camlock Systems that features a patented mechanism designed to prevent unauthorized duplicate keys being cut in key cutting outlets.

Engineers designing electronic components that must operate reliably in harsh environments can now leverage the increased performance of fiber optic technology, following the release of PA&E’s new hermetic fiber optic bulkhead feedthru for the Souriau ELIO 38999 fiber optic connector line. This new, lightweight interconnect solution allows engineers to take advantage of fiber optics in applications where that technology was once unworkable due to hermetic requirements. And, it delivers truly hermetic performance at a significant (up to 60%) weight savings when compared to stainless steel alternatives.

IDC’s new ZB113 wireless push button station has been designed as a robust operator station typically for use in manufacturing processes, for parts calling, Andon paging, supervisor calling, forklift paging, alarms and many more. A programmable device, the ZB113 is battery powered and operates via wireless communication, removing the need for an external power supply or separate control cables. Its extremely low power consumption enables the unit to operate for years, without the need to replace batteries in most applications.

New to the Item aluminium profile machine construction kit, is a backing plate for securing flat screens to any Item Line-8 aluminium profile frame. Monitor Adapter 8 VESA 75-100 PA is as the name suggests, capable of securing any monitor which incorporates the industry standard VESA 75 or 100 mounting.

Cables constructed in layers are significantly cheaper to produce, therefore some manufacturers offer 'continuous-flexing cable' with this low-cost approach. However, these cables are often constructed without attention to pitch length, pitch direction or centre-filler design and typically have fleece wraps and binders with a sleeve-extruded jacket.

E-T-A Circuit Breakers has introduced a power relay designed for single-pole switching of loads in vehicle and watercraft applications. Suitable for use as a battery disconnect relay or for switching other high current circuits, the new E-T-A PR60 features a robust design, offers various mounting styles and has a high level of protection against water and dust ingression.

SMP Sintermetalle Prometheus introduces chokes for inverters in wind turbines. These inductive components feature low losses, very low stray fields, a highly compact design, and energy efficiency for the power inverters based on these chokes. SMP uses core materials made of powder composites that are specifically engineered for each individual application.
