When voltage sags occur inside or outside of a facility, properly placed power quality mitigation technology will save sensitive equipment from costly shutdowns. The cost of this mitigation equipment ...

There's assumptions in industrial EVs that smaller is always better. For 30-40 years, contactor miniaturisation has delivered ...

AutomationDirect’s offering of Fuji electric contactors now includes higher coil voltages. The new SC series components operate with AC coil voltage ranges of 440-480V and 500-550V at 60hz and are ...

When designing equipment with switching functions, most engineers find that switching high currents and high voltages is a major problem. A solid-state solution may be possible, but it’s complex and ...

My last two columns covered the topic of voltage troubleshooting as it applies to electrical circuits. An important point to remember is that the majority of service problems are electrically based, ...

Voltage sags and momentary interruptions plague power quality professionals worldwide. No business can afford the costly production losses that sometimes occur when small control relays de-energize ...

Relays and contactors use a variety of technologies to switch signals and power connections. Many devices called relays use similar techniques and topologies, but the terminology can be confusing.

The CWC Series of miniature contactors, for switching and controlling motors, take up less space inside electrical enclosures while still offering 15 hp @ 460 V. Dimensions of the 7 to 16-A contactors ...
