Industrial accidents can be very costly. Thankfully, advancements in machine safety technologies are making it easier than ever for OEMs to implement machine safety solutions that protect their customers’ greatest asset, their workers.
As electrical consumption continues to rise, OEMs can help industrial users make smart energy management decisions by ensuring their critical systems are digital-ready.
Industrial accidents involving electricity and electrified equipment are one of the leading causes of lost hours and employee fatalities. By choosing the right electrical components, panelboard OEMs can help customers promote workplace safety.
Multiapplication devices deliver operational benefits for OEMs while future-proofing electrical systems to help industrial customers reach their operational and sustainability goals.
Battery manufacturers play a critical role in meeting the worldwide demand for battery power as do the equipment OEMs that ensure these manufacturers can meet their customer commitments. Here are four ways these OEMs contribute to the battery manufacturers’ operations.
Data centers consume as much as 3% of the world’s energy. With 40% of that energy usage coming from cooling systems, HVAC OEM panel builders play a vital role in helping data center operators keep energy consumption in check. Motor control systems designed for the unique needs of data center cooling can help.
Circuit protection is a vital safeguard for people and assets. More than a century ago, the first electrical fuses designed to protect electrical systems against excessive currents were introduced. Since then, innovations in enhanced circuit protection solutions have made electrical power more efficient, reliable, and safer.
With temperatures as high as 35,000 degrees Fahrenheit, an arc flash can result in catastrophic injuries, substantial equipment damage, and unplanned downtime. ABB’s cost-effective short-circuit solutions help utilities and industry increase electrical safety and mitigate the damage caused by an arc flash incident.
Utilities and grid operators are keenly interested in battery energy storage systems to support the supplementation and eventual replacement by renewables of fossil fuel generation sources. In recent years, the market for battery energy storage systems has grown to include additional applications such as industrial power backup systems, support for EV charging, and even residential and commercial applications.
The UL 1008 Standard for Safety – Transfer Switch Equipment encompasses stringent testing for reliable operation under various conditions. This standard helps OEMs and panel builders optimize product safety and performance in critical power applications.
