Over the years, electricity has become a basic necessity, without which life as we know would simply become dysfunctional. In such conditions, the need for energy efficiency has become a top requirement across the industrial spectrum. When rising energy costs are coupled with uncertainty of available electricity, the result is increased relevance for the part of the business responsible for boosting efficiencies.

AC Motors have always been in competition with their DC counterparts since the widespread use of electrical technology within industries. While both these motors have their own sets of pros and cons, AC Motors are slowly taking over the DC motor-dominated industrial sector thanks to Adjustable Speed Drives.
What may seem like just another NEMA/IEC compliant motor, is actually much more. Techtop Motors designs top-grade squirrel-cage induction motors that have been fabricated according to industrial standards, for reliability, efficiency and security.
Hammond Transformers: Energy Efficiency at its Peak
Posted by Advanced Controls & Distribution on Jun 13, 2017 8:42:26 AM
Since the widespread acceptance of AC power, transformers have been a vital part of the electric infrastructure. Transformers are highly resourceful and widespread, whether it’s an industry, a commercial site or the residential sector. The US Department of Energy has laid down some rules and regulations for increasing the energy efficiency of transformers. These rules have been in-effect since January 1st, 2016 and apply to all new transformers being manufactured.
