In electrical engineering a hazardous area is a place where a fire or explosion hazard may exist due to: flammable gases or vapours combustible dusts or ignitable fibers which may be present in the air in quantities sufficient to produce explosive or ignitable mixtures. Where are hazardous areas found? Places like oil refineries, chemical plants […]
Electric motors have been around for centuries, becoming more refined and powerful over the years.

Originally, these control systems would have been designed using Relay Logic which is a large array of hard-wired controls utilising […]
Variable Speed Drives (VSD) control motor speed in response to varying process demands in your plant. The motor speed adjustment can be based on feedback from the process; for example flow rate, temperature or pressure so that process control can be improved. Due to the ‘magic’ of affinity laws, small decreases in the speed of […]
