The Fluke 438-II Power Quality and Motor Analyzer analyzes three-phase power quality measurements and uses an innovative method developed by Veros to calculate motor output torque, speed, horsepower, and efficiency.
Many companies are beginning to integrate capacitor testing into their regular diagnoses and maintenance practices, and I applaud this; however, it does lead to a debate on how to do it.
The Ex9S32 Manual Motor Starter is designed to handle more amps and more accessories than previous Noark models while providing increased electrical and mechanical life. The starters are electro-mechanical devices that combine a number of functions in one unit.
Unprecedented. Unconventional. Chaotic. Exhausting. Whatever adjective you use to describe them, the first 100 days of the Trump presidency were a crazy time for our nation. People across the country — and around the world — have watched and tried to understand the policy directions of this White House.
