Detecting risky residual currents using differential current measurement: operating electrical systems safely with RC monitoring
Residual currents in low voltage networks represent a fundamental safety risk, if they go undetected or if they are detected too late. They may cause operations to be interrupted unexpectedly, incurring damage to man and machine and in the final instance, leading to high costs. "Detect early, warn and take action" are the watchwords in risk prevention. Permanent monitoring of residual currents is ...

Major product portfolio expansion in the area of energy distribution: new re-sidual current transformers as well as intelligent AC/DC current transformers
In the field of heavy cur-rent measurement, current transformers are essential. Among the important parameters are reliability and accuracy, to guarantee very lengthy service life. A measurement device like this one from Camille Bauer Metrawatt AG, developed and manu-factured in Switzerland, normally always needs one current transformer for each conductor, which is why these products are so ...

New quantum dot process could lead to super-efficient light-producing technology
Polarised light forms the basis of many technologies, such as computer monitors. However, current approaches for making polarised light are inefficient, as they produce more than is ultimately used or needed. Researchers may now have found a way to directly produce polarised light using tiny nanostructures, called quantum dots, opening the way for more energy-efficient technologies. Most light ...
