by the Norwegian Public Roads Administration between Bergen and Øygarden municipality. The N555 project includes the construction of a new road bridge, the demolition of nine high voltage power masts and the re-routing of the related power cables through a series of tunnels and underneath the current Sotra Bridge – an element of the project known as the Stømkabel Sotrasambandet. Ellis Patents Cable Guide Clamps, which were originally
developed to solve a live project installation problem for Siemens, are being used to guide the power cables into place, before securing them and providing protection in the case of a short-circuit.

nnovative two-in-one cable guide clamps, designed and developed in Yorkshire by Ellis Patents, are being used to
ATAM’s existing customer partnerships, whilst looking to develop new market opportunities. He will also be responsible for sales across Scandinavia and Benelux. He comments: “ATAM is very strong in the UK connector market, but few current customers appreciate the breadth and capability of our solenoid valve coil range and I will be looking to expand ATAM’s presence in automotive and off highway sectors amongst others.
“A key part of my brief will be to communicate the
huge financial and productivity benefits that can be achieved through working in close partnership on finely tuned solutions. We will be encouraging customers to look beyond off the shelf products and present us with application challenges that will allow us to demonstrate our capabilities.”
Steve continues: “A recent example of how we are able to provide a more efficient solution came through
a connector order where we were able to put customer branding and part numbers directly onto components before delivery, rather than the customer having to undertake this as a time consuming, additional expense.
Outside of work Steve has had several brushes with fame, on one occasion getting to the final of the BBC
game show Weakest Link and in his younger days as a club DJ. ATAM (UK) Ltd.

n a significant appointment for The Fluid Power Centre Group of Companies, Steve Morecroft has
GS Yuasa batteries installed in ground-breaking Portsmouth Port electric vehicle charging station
P
ortsmouth International Port now has the capability to power electric vehicles at a green and cost-effective rate thanks to the world’s leading battery manufacturer,
GS Yuasa. Expert engineers have successfully installed their industry leading lead acid and lithium-ion batteries into a cutting-edge dual chemical battery system. After months of planning and construction at GS Yuasa’s factory in Ebbw Vale,
Wales, the company’s technicians installed specialist racking, custom built equipment, 240 Yuasa ENL batteries and a lithium-ion energy storage cabinet into a containerised 20-foot weatherproof shelter located at the front of the port’s freight entrance. Now constructed, the first-of-its-kind battery system which is being piloted at the
port is able to supply 100kW of power. The system will soon be switched on to become fully operational in the near future. It will provide power for electric vehicle charging and localised grid support,
allowing electric vehicles to be fast charged during the day from electricity supplied overnight at a lower tariff. Consequently, saving time and money whilst contributing to the crucial environmental needs. The lead acid batteries are manufactured at GS Yuasa’s Ebbw Vale factory. The
system’s lithium batteries come from Japan. Mark Greer, General Sales Manager – Reserve & Renewable Power Division at GS Yuasa Battery Sales UK Ltd said: “We are delighted that the installation of our lead acid

and Lithium-ion batteries was a success. Ever since we were chosen to support Portsmouth International Port, we have been working hard to ensure our energy storage system is at the forefront of technology and the very best available in the market. “Our containerised dual-chemical battery system has been designed to create an
environmentally conscious energy storage solution. As the need to move towards greener energy products increases, we’re thrilled to offer a viable and easily-integrable solution. We are committed to providing the latest and best battery technology for all types of applications.” PESO is a two-year project co-funded by Innovate UK. The aim of the project is to
contribute to plans set out by Portsmouth City Council in what is being praised as the ‘city’s greenest ever budget.’ There are three main areas of innovation to the project, the first being the construction of the dual chemical battery system. Alongside dual chemical systems, GS Yuasa also offer a fully lithium energy storage
system for maximum capacity and capability. These more advanced systems allow a higher number of EV’s to be charged at a faster and more cost-effective rate, making it the most powerful solution currently on the market. For more details contact GS Yuasa’s technical team.
