Tim Cooke describes how the simple expedient of installing a high current line reactor can help you make considerable energy savings, increase motor life and tackle any electromagnetic interference (EMI) issues.

Remote off-grid power provides road network security

Remote off-grid power provides road network security

Around 4,300 miles of motorways and trunk roads make up the strategic road network in England. It’s important that key parts of this network are constantly monitored to prevent disruption to the flow of traffic that can be caused by bad weather, accidents and breakdowns. Strategically placed CCTV surveillance equipment provides real-time information to Regional Control Centres (RCC) throughout the UK, alerting agencies to trouble spots. 

Containerised IT - thinking within the box
