When using uninterruptible power supply (UPS) system, people tend to unilaterally believe that there is no need to maintain batteries. However, the data show that there is about one third UPS host failure or abnormal operation caused by battery failure. Therefore, it is more and more important to strengthen the proper use and maintenance of UPS battery for prolonging the service life of batteries and then reducing the failure rate of UPS system.

The impedance of N-wire is at the milliohm level, and its unbalanced voltage of load neutral point is the voltage drop of N-wire current on N-wire impedance with small value. Even if the three-phase load is seriously unbalanced, it is enough to clamp the neutral point potential of load on the neutral point potential of power supply. While the ground resistance is at the ohm level, which is several hundred times larger than the N-wire impedance, so it is impossible to clamp the neutral point potential of load on the neutral point potential of power supply.

Step up or step down transformer is an important part of power grid operation, it's of great significance to the stable operation of the power grid. It meets different power demands by adjusting current and voltage. Once a transformer fails, it will cause great losses to the whole power grid, and further affects the normal operation of industrial production. In order to ensure the efficient operation of transformers, it is necessary to carry out a comprehensive management of the whole process of installation and application, thus reducing potential safety hazards and improving operational efficiency.

Before purchasing a voltage stabilizer, you'd better determine the reverse range and frequency of household voltage. For instance, if your voltage is pulled to about 80V and the input range of your voltage stabilizer is between 140 V and 260V, it will not work as you wish. Therefore, voltage stabilizers should be selected according to the power supply range of the service environment. It is recommended to choose a broadband voltage stabilizer.

Nowadays, the magnetic flow meter (electromagnetic flow meter) has been widely applied to measuring of industrial sewage or wastewater. With a high precision and a long service life, the magnetic flow meter is the top choice for the environmental measuring industry. To choose the correct magnetic flow meter can five fuller play to the magnetic flow meter for specific purposes. Generally, the selection of the magnetic flow meter is based on the following factors including chemical attributes of the fluid medium, pipeline diameter, flow range, liner material, electrode material and output signal.

A magnetic flow meter, mag meter, or electromagnetic flow meter is a kind of instrument which measures the volume flow rate of the conductive fluid based on the principle of Faraday's Law of Electromagnetic Induction. With a large measurable flow range, the ratio of the maximum flow rate to the minimum flow rate maintains above 20:1. The mag flow meter is suitable for wide range of industrial pipe diameter, and the maximum can reach up to 3m. The output signal and the measured flow are linear, and the magnetic flow meter has high measurement precision. It can effectively measure the flow rate of fluids with a conductivity more than 5μs/cm, such as acid solution, alkaline solution, saline solution, water, sewage, corrosive liquid, mud, ore pulp, and paper pulp. Nevertheless, the electromagnetic flow meter cannot be used to measure the flow of gases, steam and purified water.

The AC contactor has found wide applications in the motor-controlled circuit. It is no exaggeration to say that the electric drive of most motors cannot be separated from the control of the AC contactor. Many electricians are very familiar with the AC contactor for their frequency use or maintenance of it. How should we calculate the AC contactor rating for the motor or other equipment and make a right choice? Let us take a look at it.

The instrument transformers like current transformer and potential transformer (also called voltage transformer) are both used for measuring devices, which have a similar working principle to transformers. The current transformer can reduce the high current to low current, while the potential transformer steps down the high voltage to low voltage for measuring the circuit or in the power distribution. They both separate the measurement circuit from the high-voltage grid to protect safety of the personnel.

In normal inspection and maintenance of pressure transducer, zero calibration and periodical blowdown of the pressure transducer would involve the starting and stopping operations. So correctly start and stop the pressure transducer is also one of the required skills. This paper describes the specific start and stop operating steps of pressure transducer.

Combustible gas has certain characteristics of diffusion. In order to prevent the accidents caused by combustible gas leakage, the key lies in effectively controlling its continuous diffusion. Moreover, flammable gases will spread quickly driven by external forces. As a result, burning and explosion will take place. How to prevent the occurrence of this kind of accidents? What we need to do is often detecting the concentration of combustible gas whether it exceed the standard. Once the concentration exceeds the standard, give an alarm quickly and we take actions immediately. Here combustible gas detector plays an important role.
A combustible gas detector is a detector that monitor the concentration of single or multiple combustible gases and give an alarm. Combustible gas detectors are mainly divided into two types, catalytic type and infrared optical type base on the working principle.

Relays and transistors have a similar basic function, that is, both play roles of electronic switches. However, relays and transistors are very different from each other. Now let’s take a quick peek at the differences between relays and transistors.

Modern industrial sensors are vastly different in principle and structure, and there are so many different types of products on the market. How can we find the ideal sensor for a specific application? When the sensor is selected, the corresponding measurement method and measuring equipment can be determined. The success or failure of measurement results largely depends on whether the selection of sensors is reasonable.

Q: What is a transformer?
A: A transformer is a device that step up or step down the voltage in an AC circuit. It converts the voltage of any value into the voltage value we need at the same frequency to meet the requirements for the delivery, distribution and use of electrical energy. For example, the electricity generated by the power plant has a low voltage level, and the voltage must be raised to be transported to a remote power consumption area. And the power supply area must be turned down to a suitable voltage level to supply power equipment and daily power equipment.

ATO provides two categories of capacitors: low voltage shunt power capacitor of the self-healing type (three-phase series) and self-healing low voltage shunt capacitor (single phase, for mineral thermal oven).
Self-healing low voltage shunt power capacitors are used in 50Hz and 6oHz power system. The function of these capacitors contains: reducing reactive power loss, improving voltage quality, enlarging capacity of voltage transformer, etc.
Even though the capacitor’s price varies with its capacity, ATO self-healing three/single phase shunt power capacitors are inexpensive. Here is the price list and welcome to select the best one for you!

With the rapid development of industrial automation, the variable frequency drive, used for frequency conversion debugging, is thereof widely used. As an important role of frequency conversion speed regulation and energy saving, VFD is mainly used to control the AC motor's power control equipment by changing the frequency of the motor's working power supply. It's not only advantageous for improving the enterprise's process and production level, but also plays an important role in energy saving. But how should we choose an appropriate VFD?
