When it comes to safeguarding electrical systems, few components are as critical—or as relied upon—as theMolded Case Circuit Breaker (MCCB). Whether in factories, commercial buildings, or critical infrastructure, MCCBs provide robust protection against overloads, short circuits, and electrical faults that could otherwise lead to catastrophic failures.What is an MCCB?AnMCCBis a type of circuit breaker designed to protect electrical circuits ranging from low-voltage systems up to higher-capacity industrial installations. Unlike smaller breakers found in Industrial applications,... More
The majority of “open” terminals still being utilized in Industry today are in the area of circuit protection, specifically Fuse Holders. These components were the standard - many years ago - now, not so much !! It’s obvious why - FINGER SAFETY - or lack thereof. Exposing technicians, customers, electricians, engineers and managers to what may be LIVE, energized circuits. Why embark on this journey when you don’t have to? Why risk an injury or... More
American Electrical, Inc. (AEI) is now selling a NEW wire cutting machine, made by GLW, called the LC-160. It has the same outer shell as the LC-100 that we featured last week, but cuts 0.08 - 16 mm2 (28 - 6 AWG) cables with a maximum outer diameter of 10mm. It can cut stranded or solid wire as well as shrink tubing! That's the versatility you need in your shop. The length of cable cuts... More
The LC-100 Wire Cutting Machine, by GLW, would be a fantastic addition to your production operations ! It operates in three different modes: A manual mode - running wire out to a desired length and then cutting ✅ A programmable mode - setting a certain length and number of cuts desired ✅ A computer interface mode - allowing you to input as many types of wires and their lengths and cuts desired - saved for the...

Switching power supplies are widely used in Industrial Control applications due to their efficiency, compact size, and ability to provide stable, regulated power under varying conditions. Unlike linear power supplies, switching power supplies use high-frequency switching to convert input voltage to a desired output, minimizing energy loss and heat generation. In industrial settings, they power critical components like PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers), sensors, and actuators, ensuring reliable operation in harsh environments with fluctuating loads or...
