SCHURTER: Green Line – Portfolio Expanded

SCHURTER significantly expands its portfolio of “Green Line” connectors. Because wherever you can reduce your CO₂ footprint without compromising on quality, you really should do so. As with the launch of the first series of Green Line products, SCHURTER remains true to its policy of offering a version with plant-based housings for products that are already established on the market. This approach offers customers of these products the great advantage that no redesigns or recertifications are necessary when replacing the old connectors based on fossil raw materials. The SCHURTER Green Line is therefore a 1:1 replacement with all certifications.

RS Offers MEAN WELL’s Energy-Saving VFD Series Motor Drives

RS now offers MEAN WELL’s energy-saving VFD Series variable frequency motor drive modules. The VFD Series was inspired by an International Energy Agency (IEA) report that revealed electric motors and the systems they drive as the single-largest end-users of electricity — accounting for a staggering 43–46% of global electricity consumption that’s overwhelmingly driven by industrial (64%) and commercial (20%) market segments — and stated that cost-effective efficiency improvements could reduce this sum by around 25% and, in turn, global electricity demand by about 10%.
