More on Renewable Energy Resources...

"Today, saving energy and using it more efficiently is not just virtuous, it’s good business. In an economy struggling to get traction, spending less on energy can mean the difference between business failure and staying in it. A penny spent on energy savings can shift a negative number on the balance sheet into the positive column," wrote Bruce Mulliken, in a recent Green Energy News article.

In the past two issues of our newsletter we highlighted products our many suppliers offer in renewable energy (solar) and efficient energy (lighting). As these are still very hot topics in project development today, we wanted to provide you with another source that offers many products that fit into the energy markets and applications.

Harting Corporation has recently announced several of their products focused on "energy generation from both renewable and conventional resources, also energy transmission and distribution." We wanted to take an opportunity to highlight these for you to incorporate into your projects focused on cost savings.

Let Schuster provide you more information on these products.

Cost efficient connection of high-voltage Switches for outdoor use

FEMA Based & Cluster LEDsThe power circuit breaker 3AP1 FI is for high voltage up to 145 kV for outside operation. It consists of three insulator columns with one operating unit each and a shared control unit. The insulator columns contain an interrupter unit and the necessary drives. To ensure a secure operation (switching) the three interrupters are controlled electronically. A high quality connection between the drives an the control unit therefore is obligatory.
