We are committed to delivering the same level of excellence our customers have come to expect.”

The W3TS Test Switch and other TestSwitch products will be seamlessly integrated into NovaTech Automation’s portfolio, providing customers with enhanced solutions that ensure the safety, reliability, and performance of their critical systems. NovaTech Automation’s global presence and robust customer support will further benefit former TestSwitch LLC clients.

NovaTech Automation is dedicated to ensuring a smooth transition for TestSwitch LLC customers and partners, offering assistance and support as they become part of the NovaTech Automation ecosystem.

SCHURTER: Power Dissipation in Power Entry Modules

If different electrical components are combined in an appliance inlet to form a power entry module, the individual power losses and temperature deratings of all components involved must be carefully taken into account in order to ensure long-term safe operation. Power entry modules (PEMs) consist of a combination of different components for the safe power supply of devices. In addition to the IEC appliance inlet connector, mains switches, fuseholders or circuit breakers and filters can be integrated.
