What does thermal management mean? Thermal management refers to the set of technologies adopted to protect devices in electrical enclosures from the most critical environmental conditions in which they can be installed. With digitalization, this function assumes strategic importance: if devices dedicated to on-board control of industrial automation machines, energy distribution or data transmission do […]

What is a limit switch?
A limit switch is an electromechanical device consisting of an actuator mechanically connected to one or more contacts. These are very important devices for safety, both in industrial applications and in those relating to commonly used systems. In fact, when an object comes into contact with the actuator, the device acts on the contacts to […]
Filter fans: from selection to maintenance
Filter fans represent an optimal choice for ventilation and air filtration in electrical panels. It is a simple product to install but, in the configuration and maintenance phase of the enclosure, some precautions must be kept in mind. How to choose the filter fans? First of all, it’s necessary to correctly calculate the requested air flow, […]
How does heat transfer and how does it affect the reliability of the electrical components of a panel?
The electrical and electronic components of an enclosure can withstand variable heat variations, beyond which the reliability of their operation is compromised. For this reason, it’s important to know how temperature affects their operation and which thermal conditions they can withstand, inquiring when designing the panel. But that’s not all: the electrical activity of the […]
The UKCA marking
The UKCA marking (United Kingdom Conformity Assessed) is the new United Kingdom product marking, used for goods placed on the market in Great Britain (England, Wales and Scotland), which replaces the CE marking after the United Kingdom leaves European Union. The UKCA marking is required on most products, the same ones that previously required CE […]
