The 725B combined annunciator and event recorder brings together many years of development in alarm technology. The 725B annunciator uses CANBUS communication technology coupled with RTK Instruments’ multi-redundant (no single point of system failure) design to offer a combination of reliability, flexibility and usability. The 725B can be supplied as a stand alone annunciator or with an integrated 1ms event recorder, allowing the user to analyze the exact sequence of events following a problem.

AMSC launched its PowerModule PM3000W, a fully programmable, flexible and modular power converter developed specifically for wind power applications. The PM3000W is the world’s first power converter building block developed specifically to bridge the needs of both wind turbine generators and wind farm grid interconnection. It is highly scalable and designed for rapid integration into wind turbines with power ratings from 750 kW up to 6 MW. The PM3000W supports low voltage ride through (LVRT), provides ground fault protection and has been designed to withstand severe climatic changes and poor power grid conditions encountered at remote wind farms.

Hendrix Wire & Cable, a provider of overhead and underground power-distribution products, has a green solution for overhead distribution circuits. Spacer cable systems can reduce the amount of vegetation removed when clearing right-of-way for distribution circuits. Reducing right-of-way clearance by 20 feet can result in up to 6.5 tons of carbon dioxide being removed from the atmosphere every year per mile. The Spacer Cable Systems are more compact, and a special covering limits electrical charge on the surface, enabling them to withstand temporary contact with branches without causing outages. Birds, squirrels and other wildlife also benefit as phase-to-phase or phase-to-ground contact will not be lethal.

HD’s ArcPro Arc Hazard Assessment Software is designed to aid in the selection of protective clothing by defining the arc hazard for workers who may be accidently exposed to electrical arcs. It provides the user with calculations including heat exposure, total heat flux and heat energy on a surface at various distances from an electric arc. The user can then specify clothing that will withstand the level of predicted arc hazards.
