The latest approvals build on Socomec’s existing range of UPS products available on the ETPL, all qualifying for the same ECA scheme benefits. Socomec products were amongst the first UPS units to gain ECA approval in 2010 and include: Delphys Green Power 200 kVA, Masterys Green Power 40, 100 and 120 kVA and the Masterys Mission Critical 100 and 120 kVA.

Seaward Safetest shines at leading lighting manufacturer
ne of the UK's leading manufacturers of commercial lighting is now using the Clare Safetest Manufacturing electrical safety tester from Seaward to improve the testing of its luminaires during production at its Castle Donington factory. Now, in a move to further secure product quality, performance and reliability, Illuma has installed the Safetest units on several of its manufacturing lines, which produce thousands of luminaires per week. The Safetest performs 500V insulation tests using a DC test voltage which can be used instead of a flash test when required.
