An encoder is a sensor or electromechanical device that converts motion, including position, speed and direction, into an electrical signal. This signal is then used by control systems to monitor…
Electrical transients are short-duration, high-frequency disturbances that occur within electrical circuits. Also known as voltage spikes or surges, these events can last anywhere from a few nanoseconds to several milliseconds.…
An IP rating, or Ingress Protection rating, is an international standard defined by IEC 60529. It classifies the level of protection a device or enclosure offers against the intrusion of…
Electrical surges are one of the most common and damaging threats to modern electronic systems. Whether you’re managing a smart home, operating industrial machinery, or running a data centre, understanding…
A surge protector is a safety device designed to shield electrical equipment from sudden spikes in voltage, commonly known as power surges or transient voltage spikes. It works by detecting…
When working in hazardous environments, such as oil refineries, chemical plants, or grain processing facilities, safety isn’t just a priority; it’s a regulatory necessity. Electrical equipment used in these areas…
Explosion proof lighting is a critical component in ensuring operational safety across hazardous industrial sectors like oil, gas, and mining. In hazardous environments where flammable gases, vapours, and dust are…
Selecting a suitable explosion proof junction box is critical when you’re working in environments where flammable gases, vapours, or combustible dusts are present. These hazardous area enclosures are engineered to…
Intrinsic safety (IS) is a method of designing electrical equipment so it can’t cause a fire or explosion, even if something goes wrong. It does this by limiting the amount…
An explosion proof junction box is a specially designed electrical enclosure that plays a critical safety role in environments where flammable gases, vapours, dust, or fibres are present. Unlike standard…
