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 […]

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 […]
The answers is 38. Need to know how to figure it out? The figures represent 15, also notice that the sum of all their sides is 15 (6+5+4). The four bananas represent 4. Clock face with 3 o’clock represents 3. Therefore 2 + 3 + 3 x 11 (clock face with 2 o’clock, three […]
All electrical products generate heat and therefore have the potential to be a fire risk if not properly maintained. Worksafe have highlighted in this months’ newsletter in conjunction with the Lighting Council the need to ensure that Fluorescent and High Intensity Discharge (HID) light fittings are being regularly maintained due to the number of fire […]
