TECHNOLOGY IN ACTION ADVERTORIAL
Hot applications need high temp ceramic up to 1,000 degC STEATITE terminal blocks
supplier of electrical components and enclosures. Steatite High Temperature Terminal Blocks are dimensionally stable up to 1,000 degC. They suit applications such as boilers, water heaters, cookers, injection moulding machines, and other uses where connections are required around heating/heating and hot water equipment. The Steatite High Temperature Terminal Blocks range
A
offers robust ceramic construction with nick-plated brass inserts and zinc-plated steel screws.
The range is
available in two variants, with and without steel inserts. The standard range offers ten different models: two single pole versions to suit 4mm2 and 10mm2 standard conductor sizes with maximum current of 32A and 41A ; three 2-pole models, with the larger device suitable for up to 57A maximum current; three 3-pole models (32A, 41A and 57A maximum current) and two 4-pole versions (32A and 41A

installed and commissioned within a matter of hours by engineers from one of twelve ABB authorised value providers. There are four scenarios where hiring a drive can deliver customer benefits: Emergency or unexpected failure: Hiring a drive can be a quick, low cost way of keeping criti-cal processes running in the event of a breakdown. It reduces the cost of downtime whilst providing time to repair the failed equipment or to source and allocate capital for a perma-nent replacement. Temporary capacity: Hire drives can be used for short-term, semi-permanent or seasonal ap-plications, allowing
A
companies to ramp process capacity up or down with ease, while elimina-ting storage and maintenance costs. Prove predicted energy savings: If a variable speed application has not previously used a dri-ve, or if an existing
drive is due for upgrade, hiring can be a low cost way to prove predicted energy savings before purchase and in a real environment. Equipment testing: Testing houses may be called upon to test variable speed applications, but may not have a
suitable drive with which to pair it in-house. Hiring a drive can allow testing to get underway at short notice and low cost.

Drives are hired at a fixed daily rate, which includes all installation and maintenance. 0333 005 7001

Learn about PAT testing with free workshops E
LECTRICAL testing expert Seaward is hitting the road again with a brand new series of workshops aimed at equipping people with the knowledge they need to carry out effective PAT testing. Portable appliance tests (PAT) are quick and simple
checks performed on electrical appliances. The free workshops are designed to answer common questions about the tests – with a focus on detecting dangerous counterfeit and substandard goods. Employers are legally required to ensure any electrical equipment they provide to staff is maintained in a safe condition. PAT testing and visual inspections can highlight
problems such as simple wear and tear and counterfeit appliances that don't meet UK safety standards – but it's important to know what to look for. The sessions will also cover key topics such as legislation, test types and testing laptops, chargers and low voltage equipment. Attendees will get the opportunity to ask their own questions – as well as the chance to win a PrimeTest 100 PAT tester at every workshop.
Richard Slade, UK field sales manager at Seaward,
said: “We take our responsibility as an industry educator incredibly seriously – and our free workshops are just one of the ways we can support and inform our customers. “As well as picking up some important tips about PAT
testing, we’re also offering attendees one-to-one technical support and an introduction to the latest equipment – including our popular Apollo+ series. “Previous sessions have proved very popular so I’d
encourage anyone who is interested in attending to register early to avoid disappointment.” Delivered by experts from Seaward, the workshops will visit: Maidstone (Mar 15); Cambridge (Mar 22); Stockton (Mar 22); Heathrow (Mar 29); Manchester (Mar 29); Birmingham (Apr 26); Leeds (Apr 26); Cardiff (May 3); Belfast (May 3); Portsmouth (May 10); Stoke (May 10); Potters Bar (May 17); Loughborough (May 17) and Glasgow (May 24).
