This new three -phase test instrument addresses the increasing need for three-phase testing capability in electrical distribution substations, renewable power generation stations and industrial ...

IEC 61850 is the new international communication standard for substations. The main goal of 61850 is to obtain interoperability between different protective devices from different vendors. IEC 61850 ...

Electromechanical components such as relays and switches often must undergo endurance tests that verify their reliability and safety. Regulatory standards typically have compliance criteria that ...

This white paper describes Coto's reliability testing of its Coto Classic reed relay and molded reed switches. For many switching applications reed relays remain the best solution, particularly when ...

The cost of component failures continues to increase as electronic products become more complex. Most component replacement costs are associated with marginal devices that become intermittent or fail ...

An industry expert discusses use of the Weibull distribution for life testing electromechanical relays. Life tests for electro-mechanical relays can be set up using relatively small sample sizes, ...

Panasonic has set up two European relay test laboratories, both near Munich, which will also analyse the company’s other electromechanical products. “The equipment in the labs comprises high-voltage, ...

We like our nice, safe, 5V prototyping projects where the only thing that might get fried is a chip. But there are times when you want to switch appliances for one reason or another and then you’re ...

Many of the electrical power networks have seen significant changes over the last few years. Due to the change in energy policy, today’s power is fed into these grids at many different points while ...
