No Time Lost In Fault Rectification
15 January 2013
Presenting particular safety challenges in heavy industry, safe limited speed, slip control and maintenance work carried out under voltage are being addressed by Johannes Hüebner with the newly developed electronic overspeed switch, EGS(H) 41.
Suitable for attaching to existing encoders, this safety solution is intended for applications ranging from steelworks and rolling mills to mining, crane systems and nuclear power plants.
The new switch enables considerable time savings for industrial system operators when resolving faults. When an incident occurs, the operator of the system can use the switch to set the system to ‘Safety Limited Speed’ or ‘Zero Rotation’ and commence servicing and repair immediately. Without the EGS(H) 41, an electrician would have to disconnect the system, costing time and money.
