Tridonic launches ‘Out of the Box’ lighting solutions
The EM ready2apply recessed downlight includes all compo- nents for emergency lighting in one single box that includes light source, driver, battery and optic. Chris Slattery, Global Product Manager for Emergency Lighting at Tridonic, explains: “Our aim was to design a compact and easy-to-install product which can be inserted into the ceiling void through a minimal cut- out. It had to exceed all life- time and safety requirements and offer interchangeable lenses.” The EM ready2apply unit, a stand-alone emergency luminaire has been subjected to rigorous testing procedures and complies with the most stringent safety and reliability criteria. Its small battery can serve all possible applications.

New development in twistfoot Vulcan cleats from Ellis
Ellis has launched its new twist-foot Vulcan+ product. Designed for installation on
cable channel and ladder with inverted rungs, the new cleat features a unique pre- installed fixing mechanism. This new development is now said to significantly reduce total installation time and simplifies the ordering process’. It is also short circuit tested to meet the stringent require- ments of IEC61914. Stephen Walton, Ellis’ chief engineer, told UKPN: “We pride ourselves on having a market leading product range, and a global reputation as the number one cable cleat manufacturer, but we are not a company that will ever rest on its laurels. We are always looking at ways to enhance our current offering or add to it with innovative new solutions – and the twist-foot Vulcan+ is a perfect example of this approach.” He explains: “We’ve taken an already extremely successful product and developed it in a manner that broadens its appeal; not just in terms of channel usage, but also by making it truly quick-fit and easy to order.”
The twist-foot fixing mecha- nism operates by simply placing the Vulcan+ cleat into the channel and twisting it 90 degrees. It is said to be suitable for trefoil cables ranging in diameter from 19 to 58mm, and single cables between 30 and 104mm.

TSX300 a convenient and comprehensive solution for transformer and general substation testing
Megger has further increased the versatility of its
groundbreaking TRAX substation test system by introducing the TSX300 three-phase switchbox. Available as an optional accessory, this new unit allows three-phase transformers to be conveniently tested without the need to reconfigure the test lead connections for each phase. The added benefit is that switching between phases is controlled manually from the test set without the need for additional climbing. Also newly-introduced is the TDX accessory unit, which facilitates the use of TRAX test sets to perform tan delta and capacitance measurements. The TRAX/TDX combination can also be used to measure the excitation current of transformer windings and, with an optional test capacitor, to perform automatic tip-up tests and HV turns-ratio testing. Megger’s TRAX test sets have been specifically designed to offer
a convenient and comprehensive solution for transformer and general substation testing. They are capable of performing more than 20 different test functions, including measurement of winding resistance, turns ratio, excitation current, short-circuit impedance, tan delta, capacitance, frequency response of stray losses, CT and VT testing, and circuit breaker timing and motion analysis. Despite the wide range of functions offered by these novel instruments, they are exceptionally light and compact. The TRAX220, which has a maximum AC current capability of 200 A, is the lightest test set of its type, weighing just 32 kg in its transport case, which means that it can be transported by air as check-in luggage. All TRAX test sets have an intuitive user interface that offers full
Fluke 1740 Series Power Quality Loggers simplify the collecting and reporting of critical utility power quality trends
The compact Fluke 1740 Series Power Quality Loggers are used for studying and monitoring utility power quality and demand to industry standards. They offer advanced data aggregation and analysis that saves time, reduces manpower, and eliminates errors associated with traditional data collection and reporting. The Fluke 1740 series loggers are fully compliant with
the international power quality standard IEC 61000-4-30 and meet Class A requirements. They are capable of simultaneously logging more than 500 parameters for each averaging period, allowing technicians to analyse power quality in detail and to correlate intermittent events with detailed waveform data to identify the root cause of disturbances. The included software makes it quick and easy to setup
the logger, and automates the complex task of analysing and reporting the data. The software features: • Easy setup in the field or workshop with PC application
software: connect using Wi-Fi, wired Ethernet connection, or USB cable to setup the instrument, download logged data or download directly to USB memory stick. • Energy Analyze Plus application software: download, analyse and report every measured detail of
energy consumption and power quality state-of-health with automated reporting. • One touch reporting: create standardised reports according to commonly used standards like EN
50160, IEEE 519, GOST 33073, or export data in PQDIF or NeQual compatible format for use with third party software. • Advanced analysis: choose any available logged parameter to create a highly-customised view of
logged measurements for advanced correlation of data. An optimised user interface, flexible current probes, and an intelligent measurement verification function that allows technicians to digitally verify and correct connections makes setup easy and reduces measurement uncertainty. Connection errors are automatically indicated via an amber light on the unit’s power button which turns green once corrected. Because measurement and logged data can be viewed using a wireless Wi-Fi connection, the 1740 Series minimises technicians’ time in potentially hazardous environments and reduces the hassle of suiting up in personal protective equipment. The loggers are rated 600V CAT IV/ 1000V CAT III for use at the service entrance and downstream.

manual control or guided testing using the built-in TRAX apps. Each of these apps implements a specific test function – for example, turns ratio measurement or winding resistance measurement – and automatically configures the instrument for the selected test. All unnecessary information is removed from the display, with only information relevant to the test in hand remaining. This app-based approach makes TRAX test sets easy to work with and eliminates the need for extensive user training. These innovative test sets can generate and measure a wide range
of currents and voltages with high precision. The TRAX220 has a maximum AC current output capability of 200 A, while the TRAX280 extends this to 800 A. For both units this can be further extended to 2000 A with an optional current booster. Other key features of Megger’s new and innovative TRAX test
sets include state-of-the-art transformer winding resistance measurements with test currents up to 100 A true DC at up to 50 V compliance voltage; dynamic on-load tap changer (OLTC) measurements; exceptional interference suppression to secure accurate readings even in high noise switchyards. A wide operating frequency range of 5 to 500 Hz (1 to 500 Hz for
tan delta measurements); individual temperature correction of tan delta measurements using Megger’s patented technology; and automatic voltage dependence detection, which is another unique feature covered by Megger patents.
