Hylec’s completely submersible TeePlug® TH381 micro-connector


the new TeePlug® TH381 plug and socket electrical micro connector designed for underwater use and harsh environment installations. Offering the highest levels of reliability, TeePlug TH381 Series connectors provide complete protection against the effects of permanent submersion in water to ensure electrical connection, even when subjected to high pressure water jets. The IP68/IP69K rated TeeTubeTH381 models also prevent dust and dirt ingress. Measuring only 14mm in diameter, the TeeTubeTH381 Series suits outdoor lighting applications, such as architectural lighting, street lighting, underwater lighting, illumination of road signs and billboards and the connection of interior and exterior Class 2 electrical devices. TeePlug Series TH381 is the optimum electrical


H connector for all submerged and challenging installations.

ylec-APL, the specialist supplier of electrical components and enclosures, announces the launch of


been installed as part of large-scale renovation project of 16 schools across Glasgow. Designed to provide continuous, energy-efficient hot water temperature maintenance, without the need for a recirculation system, the installations aimed to maximise comfort and safety for both students and staff. When considering the available hot water systems for the


school renovations, there were strict requirements around the protection offered by the products, particularly in relation to minimising legionella risks by inhibiting bacterial growth. The chosen system also needed to provide an energy-efficient solution that was easy to install and avoided an extensive network of pipes, as well as delivering an immediate water supply. The Raychem single-pipe HWAT solution from Pentair was selected to meet these needs.

They’re not big, but they are clever T


he world’s first fixed blade VDE stubby screwdriver has been launched by C.K tools, the electrician’s tool brand of choice. The C.K Stubby VDE Slim Screwdriver further extends the company’s already vast range of innovative screwdrivers.


After undertaking research with professional electricians, C.K tools identified that most carry a non-insulated stubby screwdriver. Despite understanding the importance of using insulated tools, electricians often encounter situations where their usual VDE screwdriver won’t fit.


The new C.K Stubby VDE Slim Screwdrivers are designed to fill this problematic void; featuring a shorter length,


they are ideal for use in confined spaces, and full VDE approval provides the assurance that each is individually tested to 10,000v for safe working up to 1,000v. Premium quality, chrome vanadium steel blades provide exceptional strength and durability while the slim shaft,


allows access to recessed screws and fixings. C.K Tools


u 01758 701070 Intelligent Industrialization of Datacentres


Flexible scalable solutions The LMD is remarkably flexible in terms of available space and different technical solutions. The mountain halls have 16 metre- high ceilings and there is 120,000 metre² of net whitespace plus 200+ MW IT capacity, delivered in container solutions or in traditional white space. The datacentre can therefore offer customers a “pay as you grow” model, and removes any risk of paying for unnecessary capacity.


T


he hugely impressive Lefdal Mine Datacentre (LMD) in Norway has an ambitious vision; it aims to be the


most cost-effective, secure, flexible, and green datacentre in Europe. LMD opened on 10th May 2017, and is powered


exclusively by low-cost renewable energy. Rittal is a strategic and technology partner, and has


provided the datacentre with its top-of-the-range, preconfigured, modular and scalable infrastructure.


Europe’s greenest datacentre Located on the west coast of Norway, the giant 120,000 metre2 datacentre operates exclusively on renewable energy and is cooled by water from the nearby fjord. The energy costs are correspondingly low, and the system achieves a PUE below 1.15.


Rittal


Cost-effective and Fast to Market In what has been dubbed “the fourth industrial revolution”, companies increasingly need access to flexible IT resources. To this end, Rittal’s standardized datacentre designs and containers enable the implementation of flexible, scalable IT infrastructures within just six weeks.


High secure facility LMD will also be one of Europe’s most secure datacentres, meeting all Tier III requirements.


Solutions for all IT scenarios Over the coming months, LMD will welcome its first customers. iNNOVO Cloud, a German cloud provider, will be one of its first international clients to move in with High Density IT containers.


Details from the opening ceremony of LMD are available at this webcast: http://webtv.hegnar.no/presentation.php?webcastId=52831446
