They reliably protect devices from surges and short circuits, even when long cables are used.</p> <hr id="system-readmore" />](/images/stories/2012/may/pcselectivepower.jpg)
Measurement and control systems are vulnerable to transient surges and therefore require robust lightning and surge protection to avoid plant outages.
Energy efficiency is an increasingly important goal in the planning and operation of systems. Intelligent control concepts and high availability of electrical systems are also becoming more and more important.
Cooper Bussmann CH Series modular fuse holders offer a set of advantages you can’t find anywhere else.
At this year's Light+Building, Siemens Infrastructure & Cities will be unveiling Type F RCDs. This type of device protects from electric shocks in the case of residual currents that can result with single-phase electrical loads such as washing machines and pumps, for example.
At this year's Light+Building, Siemens Infrastructure & Cities is to unveil an arcing fault detection (AFD) unit that reacts to arcing faults and disconnects circuits safely.
