Sophisticated, sensitive components such as VFDs, PLCs, etc., are the backbone of many industrial applications. Industrial enclosures provide protection from harsh environments for electrical/electronic equipment. Depending on the surrounding temperature and other ambient conditions, it is imperative these enclosures be properly cooled to ensure the optimum performance of all installed components and avoid heat-related downtime or potential catastrophic failures.
Littelfuse, Inc. a global manufacturer of technologies in circuit protection, power control and sensing, introduces a new arc-flash knowledge center (Littelfuse.com/arcflash) for engineers, electricians, maintenance workers, and others creating a safer electrical environment.
Supervisory control and data acquisition – abbreviated as “SCADA” – is a control system architecture that combines high-level process management with remote access to peripheral devices like programmable logic controllers (PLCs). SCADA systems allow facilities to control and monitor their machines and processes and collect and analyze data from a central location.
Aztec Electrical Supply, one of Rittal System Ltd.’s electrical and automation distributors in Canada, has enhanced their enclosure modification capabilities with the acquisition of the Perforex machining centre, which can be deployed for drilling, thread tapping, wiring and milling when machining enclosures and panels of all sizes.
If you’ve ever plugged in or powered up too many things in at once, chances are you’ve managed to “trip” a breaker, causing the power to go out. But have you ever stopped to think about what’s really happening? Just like the breakers in your home, industrial circuit breakers are designed to protect the wiring and equipment that they are connected to, in the event of an overload. Here, we discuss the different types of industrial circuit breakers, how they work, and what they offer.
