Growing concern for public safety and the increasing complexity of today’s fixed electrical installations in domestic, commercial and industrial premises places extra responsibility on electrical test engineers who are charged with verifying conformity to South Africa’s Certificate of Compliance (COC) safety standards. The Fluke 1660 series multifunction installation testers are measuring equipment which fully fulfil […]
Schneider Electric’s range of VarSet low voltage (LV) capacitor banks form part of the company’s power factor correction solutions which modify and control reactive energy. Reactive energy management aims to optimise electrical installation by reducing energy consumption, and improving power availability. Total CO2 emissions are also reduced and utility power bills are typically reduced by […]
The CBA300 offers a safer, faster and more accurate way to perform for any timing test, motion and speed analysis, multiple contemporary static and dynamic contact resistance measurements, both sides grounded (BSG), under-voltage condition test and more. All these functions are integrated in a single lightweight test case, which eliminates the need of to connect […]
Bosch Munitech, a member of the Bosch Holdings group, offers municipalities a smart solution for infrastructure management by assessing assets in the field and transferring the information to a desktop platform. Engineers, field technicians and geographical information system (GIS) specialists in the team have developed an efficient system to spatially represent fixed assets. The asset […]
As renewable and distributed generation proliferates on the global electricity network, conventional protection and automation methods begin to lose their selectivity as fault characteristics change. Fortunately, the reduction of fault magnitude and complexity of power flow can be handled by distribution automatic circuit reclosers such as Noja Power’s OSM recloser, enabled by the implementation of […]
For the safety of personnel and assets, the importance of the integrity of the substation earth mat and lightening protection should not be underestimated. It is recommended that these are tested during annual substation maintenance. The Gossen MetraWatt Geohm series is capable of much more than just easy and reliable implementation of the most common […]
The Kathu Solar Park, which was constructed by Sener and Acciona Industrial, came into commercial operation recently. With an installed capacity of 100 MW, it will allow clean energy to be supplied to 179 000 homes in the Northern Cape Province and prevent the emission of 6-million t CO2 into the atmosphere over the next […]
Trafo Power Solutions has secured the order for 13 custom-designed cast resin transformers for Rand Water’s large Zuikerbosch wastewater treatment works near Vereeniging. The water purification and sedimentation facilities at Zuikerbosch will reportedly provide an additional 600 Ml per day to the system at a project value of R3-billion, as part of efforts to meet growing […]
RWW Engineering has been awarded a five-year supply contract from Eskom for 22 kV and 33 kV auto-reclosers. The company will supply the Noja Power range of reclosers. Local manufacture, assembly and wiring of the control panels, together with factory testing of the completed units, will ensure that Eskom receives quality products. Training for the […]
HV Test offers DV Power’s first handheld micro ohmmeter which generates regulated DC current up to 300 A. The RMO-H is ideal for a number of applications for contact resistance measurements of non-inductive test objects in both field and factory testing environments, with a user-friendly interface, allowing the user to set and start a preferred test […]
