Concern for public safety and the increasing complexity of fixed electrical installations place extra responsibility on electrical test engineers. It is therefore important to have suitable test tools for carrying out the stringent tests imposed by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) and the European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardisation (CENELEC). IEC 60364 and its various associated […]
To understand the need for surge protection, it is important to understand how lightning causes damage. The sources of lightning damage are quite different, and we use different types of mitigation technique and equipment to protect different items. There are two areas of concern when evaluating a building or structure, namely the structure itself, and […]
Traditionally, a metal-to-metal connection has been necessary when probing with test leads or attaching alligator clips to a circuit. Fluke’s FieldSense technology allows the T6 to measure AC voltage, current and frequency without making electrical contact to live voltage. Typically, electricians encounter junction boxes crowded with wires, so finding the right connection point poses a […]
DEHN Africa provides 3-D laser scanning services for designing lightning protection measures and recording and digitalising existing structures. 3-D laser scanning, which can be used to capture real world information, delivers many benefits for industrial and engineering projects, providing precise and reliable data which allows for improved planning and scheduling. Without physically touching what is […]
Quantity and availability requirements for electrical energy from the power grid vary according to the user and are therefore contractually agreed between the user and the supplier. However, problems concerning mains power quality are increasing rapidly. This is the result of user behaviour in terms of AC-DC voltage conversion, making energy planning increasingly difficult (e.g. […]
Instrotech, local representative of infrared camera technologies Optris, has announced an addition to the Compact Line, the Xi 80 and Xi 400, now with new industrial accessories for use in rough conditions. The system’s water-cooled housing, air purge unit and the shutter can be used both individually and combined. The stainless-steel shutter is generally used […]
Mozambique’s coal mining industry has seen the establishment of Aury Africa Mozambique in Tete. In recent years, Mozambique has shown great potential, particularly in the coal-mining sector. This is an area in which Aury and, in particular, its holding company, Dadi Engineering and Development Group (DEDG), have many years of experience in both design and […]
Comtest has on offer Fluke construction instruments, including laser levels engineered to stay within specification, even after a 1 m drop. Whatever the user needs measurements like distance, temperature, cable location and electrical values to indoor air quality across building sites, Fluke has a range of durable tools to meet their needs and deliver guaranteed […]
