H2OMIT dehumidifier system removes moisture from the air within an enclosure
Schroff has launched a new dehumidifier system that is designed to remove moisture from the air within an enclosure, providing an inexpensive yet highly effective way to protect electronic and electrical components from condensation. Suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications, the H2OMIT system helps to prevent corrosion-related problems such as overheating, arcing, sparking and short circuits. Manufactured by Hoffman, one of Schroff’s... [more]
Traditional low voltage assemblies set-ups can cost up to 20 per cent more
Under past legislation it was perfectly acceptable to use the casing of an MCCB as the barrier between live parts and components. However, because it was not clearly specified in the old IEC 60439 standard, panel builders were reluctant to use them, instead opting for configurations with metal barriers built into the switchboard. Consequently, this became common practise, despite it being more costly and resulting in a larger footprint. IEC ... [more]
Versaperm tests for liquids in maritime components, electronics or enclosures
It is critically important to ensure that liquids, and the invasive vapours they give off, cannot get into any components, electronics or enclosures. Adding water or petrol to electronics, or a variety of other maritime products is a recipe for disaster. The problem is that many of the seals which keep out water or hydrocarbons as liquids allow their vapours to pass through virtually unhindered, often rendering the seals virtually useless. ... [more]
250A Airfield Power Distribution from FDB Electrical
Mains power distribution across outlying areas of military and civil airfields poses its own specific problems of environmental, security and electrical protection for maintenance personnel. The need for maintenance crews to get significant amounts of electrical power to outlying areas with safety requires both a high quality housing and a well designed electrical protection system. FDB Electrical have found that these requirements are ideall... [more]
