Multi 9 range surge protection devices

01 December, 2008 | Supplied by: Schneider Electric

The Multi 9 range of surge protection devices has been extended to include 120 kA rated products. The range now offers an extended working life through its higher level of protection against electrical surges.

Suspended power board

01 December, 2008 | Supplied by: Jackson Industries

The PT1199SS ‘Power on a Chain’ power board is designed to provide electrical power to work areas via overhead means, removing the hazards of tripping or electrocution from electrical leads strewn across floors.

Line reactors for power systems

01 December, 2008 | Supplied by: Practical Control Solutions

The Practical Control Solutions line reactors are designed to attenuate harmonic distortion by impeding unwanted harmonic current resulting from the switching techniques used in many of these devices, which reflect unwanted harmonics back into the mains, often interfering with other equipment and causing excessively high neutral currents.

Modular switchboards

01 December, 2008 | Supplied by: Eaton Electrical (Australia) Pty Ltd

The Tabula modular low-voltage switchboard system, originally developed by Holec in Denmark, is now available in Australia and supported by a network of accredited licensed assemblers, backed by Eaton.

Equipment enclosure

01 December, 2008 | Supplied by: Schneider Electric

The Sarel Spacial 6000 enclosure family has been extended to include a floor-standing range, designed to house control and automation and low-voltage electrical distribution equipment in commercial and industrial applications.

Clear single socket

01 December, 2008 | Supplied by: Legrand Australia P/L

The HPM clear plug base is a completely clear single socket GPO, so that terminations are clearly visible. This makes fault-finding easier because there is no need to spend time removing the socket from the nail plate in order to check the terminations.

Motor protection relays

01 December, 2008 | Supplied by: NHP Electrical Engineering Products Pty Ltd

The Sprecher+Schuh CEP seven C3 is the latest addition to the DeviceNet-ready, CEP series of electronic motor protection relays.

Power disturbance monitoring relay

01 December, 2008 | Supplied by: Westek Electronics Pty Ltd

The PQube DIN rail-mountable power and disturbance monitoring relay captures voltage disturbances and time-stamped waveforms, storing captured information on a plug-in 4 GB SD card that provides exportable CSV Excel-compatible and GIF picture files via ethernet with email, DHCP, FTP and SNTP options.

Cordless screwdrivers

01 December, 2008 | Supplied by: Tooltechnic Systems (Aust) Pty Ltd

The Festool T12+3 and T15+3 cordless drills are equipped with EC-TEC motors that don’t use carbon brushes to minimise wear and intelligent motor management to convert battery energy into performance with minimal loss, claimed to result in greater screwdriving capacity, controlled power use and torque setting.

Insulation, continuity and resistance tester

01 November, 2008 | Supplied by: Power Parameters Pty Ltd

The Hioki 3490 analog insulation, continuity and resistance tester has been designed for use by both industrial and domestic electricians in keeping with the testing requirements of AS/NZS 3017.
