New TP&N Distribution Boards from Lewden


Electrical specialists Lewden Palazzoli has launched a new range of TP&N Distribution Boards (type B) that are perfect for use in modern commercial and industrial installations. Designed and engineered in the UK, the boards provide flexibility to allow installation engineers to create a functional distribution board that protects the electrical system in a compact and modern enclo- sure.


Each of the boards have been produced to save space as well as provide the installer with a quick and easy wiring installa- tion. All earth and neutral terminations are on both left and right hand sides of the board for clear identification of load circuit connections. Lewden now provide a choice of main switch to suit the exact installation. www.lewden.com


Fluke T6 Electrical Testers with FieldSense Technology for voltage & current


Fluke T6 Electrical Testers with FieldSense Technology allow electricians to measure — not just detect — voltage and current without test leads Troubleshooting electrical systems can be both time- consuming and potentially dangerous because it requires access to metallic contact points. The new Fluke® T6 Electrical Testers with FieldSense Technology make troubleshooting safer and more efficient by allowing electricians to take simultane- ous voltage and current measurements, not just detec- tion, without test leads. The Fluke T6 testers now make it possible to take reli- able true-rms measurements in crowded junction boxes or along conductors with inac- cessible end points, saving time, minimising potential errors, and greatly reducing the possibility of arc flash. With the Fluke T6-600 and T6-1000 testers, electricians can: • Be safer: Measure voltage up to 1000V (T6-1000), or 600V (T6-600), through the


open fork without test leads or exposed conduc- tors. • Be faster: With no need to open panels or remove wire nuts, electricians can speed through trou- bleshooting. • Be more efficient: Simultaneously measure and display voltage and current on the T6-1000 – toggle between readings with the T6-600. The T6- 1000 measures resis- tance up to 100.0 kOhm, (the T6-600 to 1kOhm), and the T6-1000 also measures frequency. • Be everywhere: With the widest open fork available anywhere in the industry, the T6 testers measure up to 11.7mm dia. wires with current up to 200A. www.fluke.co.uk/t6


Morris Site Machinery hails the Halo lamp head as both revolutionary and a ‘game changer’ for the industry


A powerful, anti-glare next generation lamp head designed by the


Morris Site Machinery design team has been hailed as a game changer for the industry. The robust and versatile Halo is a revolutionary, virtually indestructible lamp head which fits on the company’s celebrated SMC TL90 lighting towers. It delivers 360 degrees 1200W diffused light from four 300W LED quadrants. It has been developed and manufactured to provide an even, impressive spread of light with an anti-glare diffuser which can operate in extreme conditions. Suitable for a range of uses, it will prove its worth in particular for roadsides and motorways, airports, quarries, car parks or trackside lighting. Richard Denholm, Sales Director at Morris Site Machinery, told


UKPN: “We are excited and proud of this new product which will take the onsite lighting market to new levels. It will deliver game-changing benefits and improved performance. “The Halo is like nothing seen before. It represents the future of anti-


glare lighting and promises to improve working conditions for users, which is so important to the industry. The IP65 rated Halo has been designed for simple deployment and easy set-up with no lamp adjustment necessary. Richard Denholm concludes: “It has an improved light spread and


above average LUX levels compared to a conventional LED or metal halide lamp. It means fewer towers are required, boosting its green credentials. The Halo fits onto the latest SMC TL90 towers and can also be retrofitted to used stock.” The innovative design has four segments independently mounted onto


a steel frame with each quadrant comprising three 100W high power LED modules. The quadrant diffuser is constructed from a tough high performance LLDPE material, similar to that used in highway products like road safety cones, and creates a bright, anti-glare, even spread of light. The SMC Halo light was unveiled at this month’s Showman’s Show


The new SPI225 smart primary injection test set from Megger can generate fully­regulated test currents of up to 2,000 A


Weighing just 20 kg and featuring compact yet rugged construction, the new SPI225 smart primary injection test set from Megger can generate fully regulated test currents of up to 2,000 A. The unit, which is the smallest and most portable


in its class, is ideally suited for all forms of high current testing required in substations, including testing overcurrent relays, circuit breakers, motor overloads and current transformers. The SPI system is the first high current test set to allow the user to type in a predetermined current with the system then generating and regulating the requested high current without preheating the test sample. The instrument achieves this by simply pulsing the output at high currents. Megger’s new instrument also has the unique ability to turn on at the current zero crossing every time and


for any load by automatically adjusting the output-firing angle. This eliminates DC offset for every circuit breaker type. Another key benefit of the SPI system is the simplified touch screen input. This feature eliminates the confusing menu of other primary injection and circuit breaker test systems. The touch screen makes the Smart Touch View Interface (STVI) simple to work with, even for technicians with little experience to use. The STVI allows users to manually control the unit and also to perform automated testing. In addition, automated testing can be easily done by using a PC connected to the instrument. With safety in mind, the designers of the test set have incorporated a circuit breaker and overload protective devices, as well as temperature sensors preventing overheating. And, as an additional safety feature, an emergency stop pushbutton is provided to instantly de-energize all input power to the test set. This test set is built for years of trouble-free, reliable operation. It features rugged instrumentation


and controls designed to withstand the vibration and shock of frequent transportation. The software supplied with the SPI225 is specifically designed for the testing of circuit breakers, current transformers and other substation equipment. In order to simplify testing, the software is pre-loaded with thousands of circuit breaker curves help the user verify if the circuit breaker under test is operating correctly. www.megger.com


SEPTEMBER‐OCTOBER 2017 UK POWER NEWS 33


(18th and 19th October) where its first public demonstration generated considerable interest. The IP65-rated Halo has been designed for simple deployment and


easy set-up with no lamp adjustment necessary. It has an improved light spread and above average LUX levels compared to a conventional LED or metal halide lamp. It means fewer towers are required, boosting its green credentials. The Halo fits onto the latest SMC TL90 towers and can also be retro fitted to used stock.
