Electromechanical components such as relays and switches often must undergo endurance tests that verify their reliability and safety. Regulatory standards typically have compliance criteria that ...

The cost of component failures continues to increase as electronic products become more complex. Most component replacement costs are associated with marginal devices that become intermittent or fail ...

Megger’s new SMRT 36 smart protective relay test set is suited not only for testing today’s installations and legacy plant, but also for meeting the future challenges associated with testing the smart ...

Traditional testing methods can still be used to test 61850 devices with the MPRT IEC 61850 is the new international communication standard for substations. The main goal of 61850 is to obtain ...

Relays are electromechanical devices that use a magnetic solenoid to actual a switch. When current is passed through the solenoid coil, it produces a magnetic field. The magnetic field is strengthened ...

Programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and computer-based controllers are great for handling logic and data-collection tasks for industrial controls. But when it comes to driving motors, heaters, ...
