Power factor is the ratio of active power (the power flowing to a system/appliance) vs the amount it uses to perform its function. A device’s power factor represents how effectively that device is using the power supplied to it – essentially its electrical efficiency. Devices with high power factors make better use of the power being […]
Lighting in your workplace is critically important to your staff’s ability to accomplish tasks efficiently and safely. In addition, proper light levels prevent eye strain, which allow us to work comfortably for longer periods of time. Light is measured using lumens and lux. Lumens are used to measure the amount of light being given out […]
When an electric car brakes, its kinetic energy is converted into electricity and returned to the car’s batteries to extend the driving distance. This same principle, Regenerative Braking, can also be applied to electric motors used in a wide variety of industrial applications where frequent braking is required or when stopping high inertia loads. Examples […]
Manufacturing industries use chemicals and machinery that can produce dangerous levels of poisonous gases. The presence of these gases can be apparent through their pungent smell, but others are odourless and tasteless making them particularly hazardous. The most common types of toxic gasses found in industrial workplaces include ammonia, hydrogen sulphide, chlorine, carbon monoxide […]
The answer is -3. A single cat equals 6. A single rat equals 5. 4 pieces of cheese equals 6. So a single piece equals 1.5. So the final equation will look like: 12 – 5 x 3 = 12 – 15 = -3.
Level transmitters are an essential part of many processes, from food production to wastewater treatment. It is essential that the information they provide is accurate because if tank levels are too low, pump damage can occur; or if tank levels are too high, vessels can overflow, causing product loss, safety issues and environmental problems. Some […]
As you will be aware there have been new cases of COVID-19 (Corona virus) identified in Auckland. While we are all hopeful that these cases will be contained and a wide-spread community outbreak won’t occur, we want to assure our customers that we are doing our part in maintaining good public health measure to prevent […]

An Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) provides emergency power when the power source or mains power fails. A UPS differs from an emergency power system or standby generator in that it provides near instantaneous protection from power interruptions by supplying energy stored in batteries, supercapacitors or flywheels. The on-battery run time of most UPS is generally […]
