Powering the next generation of agricultural machinery

Powering the next generation of agricultural machinery

The agricultural equipment industry is entering a period of transformation. Faced with a push for increased electrification and automation, manufacturers are rethinking how power is delivered, controlled, and monitored across every aspect of modern machinery.

Motor load monitoring: Modern protection for modern machines

Motor load monitoring: Modern protection for modern machines

Load monitors have become crucial in reducing downtime and enhancing efficiency, yet many control panel builders still struggle with selecting the right monitoring technology for their operations. Here, we sit down with Malcolm Greenhill, founder of Charter Controls, to debunk the common misconceptions around motor-driven protection.

Power, precision, and practical efficiency
