Automatically Verify Absence of Voltage with 6 Steps in 10 Seconds

Emily Wheeler2018-07-17T20:14:35+00:00July 17th, 2018|Informational, New Products|

Panduit VeriSafe™ Absence of Voltage Tester A voltage verification test is required when servicing electrical equipment to validate the absence of voltage. This is mandated by NFPA 70E, requiring workers to verify that equipment is in an electrically safe state, including the absence of voltage test. There are two common tools to measure absence of voltage – portable and permanent testers. With portable absence of voltage testers, the electrical worker performs the steps manually. These [...]

Yaskawa Changes the Game with the U1000 Matrix Drive

Emily Wheeler2018-11-21T12:33:30+00:00March 2nd, 2018|Informational, New Products|

Matrix Designed VFDs The Yaskawa U1000 Matrix Drive is a relatively new VFD that was designed as a Clean Power VFD and solution for regenerative power applications. The drive provides low harmonics, with less than 5% iTHD at the input terminals of the VFD and is ideal for a host of industrial applications. The design of the drive obviates the DC bus by using nine bi-directional IGBTs (insulated-gate bipolar transistors) in a matrix arrangement to generate the [...]
