While we may associate data with being up in the clouds, it’s very much in the ocean too. Beneath our seas lie thousands of cables, tasked with carrying the world’s internet traffic. These cables form a vital communications network - and the world would seem like a much bigger place without them. What is less often considered is how these cables made it to the sea floor in the first place. Simone Bruckner, Managing Director atCressall...

In November 2019,REO UK celebrated 30 years of excellence in electrical engineering by releasing its book, R30: The past, present and future of power, onAmazon Kindle. Steve Hughes, Managing Director of REO UK and author of R30, shares some of the top-level insight explored in the book.

Air pollution is now the biggest environmental risk to public health in the UK. As unregulated medium sized combustion plants (MCPs) and generators are a known source of significant air pollution, addressing their environmental impact is crucial. Here, Andrew Keith, product development director at power resistor manufacturer Cressall Resistors, discusses the changes to emissions regulations and what they mean for power maintenance.

Designing reliable hardware is challenging the automotive industry, says Jan Preibisch, application marketing manager, Nexperia

The DCRF (Direct Water-Cooled Power Wirewound Resistor) for high-power applications from Vishay is now being stocked by New Yorker Electronics. Available in seven different lengths, the Vishay Super 12 featured product saves space by reducing the number of components required to dissipate heat.

The ATL43xLI-Q1 from Texas Instruments is a three-terminal adjustable shunt regulator, with specified thermal stability over applicable automotive, commercial, and military temperature ranges. Its output voltage can be set to any value between Vref (approximately 2.5V) and 36V with two external resistors. The device has a typical output impedance of 0.3Ω.

In 2018, Chinese data centres produced 99 million tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2) - generating the equivalent environmental footprint of around 21 million cars. With global data traffic more than doubling every four years, it’s no surprise that the environmental impact of data centres is coming under scrutiny. Here, Simone Bruckner, Managing Director ofCressall Resistors, investigates the efficiency of our data centres.

Smart Production Solutions – SPS, formerly known as SPS IPC Drives, brought companies together once again to share and inform customers and visitors about the very latest in digital transformation, with a particular focus this year on Artificial Intelligence.

In an eBook titled Electrification of the Vehicle, subject matter experts from Mouser Electronics and Bourns provide detailed explanations of inductors and current sense resistors to reduce automotive emissions and detailed explanations of concepts and products including shunt resistors, inductor designs for on-board chargers, and the use of inductors and current sense resistors to reduce automotive emissions.

After doubts about the future of the UK’s high-speed rail link HS2, the government has said the project will go ahead, although delayed by up to three years, in 2029. The prospect of 250mph rail travel is again real and, while the brakes have been put on HS2 for now, OEMs and engineers should consider how the trains will function safety. That includes their braking systems.
