Distributor Switchtec has issued a brochure showcasing surge protection devices from a world leader in the field, Citel.  As well as providing technical specifications of some of the most popular surge protection devices from Citel, the six page, full colour brochure includes useful information on the risks of electrical surges, the benefits of using SPDs and a short guide ‘Does my installation need an SPD?’

Switchtec's high voltage high current DC switch reduces costs in photovoltaic applications

Telergon’s S6000N DC switch disconnector from distributor Switchtec has been introduced to meet the demand for this type of product as a result of the increased usage of 1500VDC generation in photovoltaic (PV) utility scale systems.  Using 1500VDC rather than lower voltages enables the PV Installer to save costs as higher-voltage systems enable longer strings, which means fewer combiner boxes, less wiring and trenching, and therefore less labour too.

Switchtecs light towers feature industry leading design for safety and performance

Previous light towers had a wiring base and modules that were all voltage specific, requiring each separate component to be stocked in 24, 110 and 230V versions across all five colours as applicable. With the new Elyps range there is only one module per colour as the voltage is selected solely by the choice of base. This keeps module types and stocking levels down, and accordingly price too.

Switchtecs enclosed switch disconnectors are versatile and easier to install

Aimed at electrical contractors, panel builders, equipment manufacturers, machine builders and generator set manufacturers, the switch disconnectors provide a solution where general switching duties are required. They are suitable for control switches for multiple circuits and for use in main circuits as load switches for motors, machines, heating equipment, lighting, ventilation, air-conditioning, generator sets and mains/generator change over duties.

Switchtec's pilot lamps are colour coded for speedy installation and easy maintenance

Available from Switchtec, the SCL range of pilot lamps is available in the ubiquitous 16 and 22mm diameters for panel use. Uniquely, the LED lamps have coloured terminals on the underside that are ‘coded’ to match the colour of the LED lamp on the ‘outside’. Imagine a door or control panel with say 100 pilot lamps on it, now imagine trying to work out which lamp’s terminals you are working on? The colour-coded terminals are a great help, especially when there are a large number of lamps on the panel.
