Preparing for change: Resistors help to get the most out of wind power

In January 2025, the UK Government announced new measures to unlock up to thirteen major wind projects as part of its Plan for Change. But with wind curtailment – the switching off of wind turbines – reaching record levels in 2024, how can we make the most of the energy generated? Here, Mike Torbitt, Managing Director of Cressall, explores the role that resistors can play in preventing the wastage of wind power.

Ensuring automotive EMC compliance

Ensuring automotive EMC compliance

Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) testing ensures the safety of electronic and electrical automotive components. Before these components can be used in vehicle fabrication by original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), they must be tested for EMC to ensure that they do not create harmful interference with any other vehicle components or surrounding electrical devices, and that they can operate as required in the presence of electromagnetic interference (EMI).
