Introduction to Power Quality
More and more, electricity is being considered a product. Ideally, the AC voltage wave is a sine wave alternating from a positive peak to a negative peak 60 times per second (60 Hz) without any deformations, spikes or surges. In reality, different factors influence the quality of the wave.

Facts Worth Knowing about AC Drives – Star and Delta Configuration in Field Weakening Operation Sections 4.1 – 4.4.7
The major technical characteristics of a motor are found on its nameplate. The information shown is very relevant for the electrical installer because values for voltage, frequency and full load current are given, but important information for the mechanical design is missing and can be found in the datasheet, catalogue, or by direct contact to the motor manufacturer.
National Manufacturing Month and Beyond
Known as National Manufacturing Month, there’s no better time than October to reflect on the importance of building a sustainable workforce for a more resilient future. As manufacturers across the country host student tours, Yaskawa Motoman continues to take part in STEM-centric events that fuel optimism for careers in robotic automation, as well as offer comprehensive robot training through Yaskawa Academy.

Weidmüller’s u-control 2000: The Automation Controller
Weidmüller’s scalable engineering software, u-control 2000, adapts individually to your requirements. And, the u-control is powerful, compact and fully compatible with Weidmüller’s I/O system u-remote. This article looks at what makes u-control the heart of your automation.
Programmable logic controllers (PLCs) are one of the main components of any automated system. A typical control system has inputs, outputs, controllers (i.e., PLCs), and some type of human interaction with the system, a human machine interface (HMI), for example.

NVIDIA 800 VDC Architecture Will Power the Next Generation of AI Factories
November 4, 2025 By Mathias Blake, Martin Hsu, Ivan Goldwasser, Harry Petty and Jared Huntington The exponential growth of AI workloads is increasing data centre power demands. Traditional 54 V in-rack power distribution, designed for kilowatt (KW)-scale racks, isn’t designed to support the megawatt (MW)-scale racks coming soon to modern AI factories. NVIDIA is leading the transition to 800 VDC data… Read More…
