EFFICIENT COOLING with COMPACT CABINET COOLERS
Noren Products Cabinet Coolers (CCC) reduce downtime while
removing the heat from sealed electrical panels and enclosures using
heat pipe technology. The CCC's prevent contaminant from getting
into enclosures. They reduce failures and downtime, consume less energy
than A/C, are easy to install, and maintenance free. Noren offers a
variety of models; below ambient, NEMA 12, 3R, 4, 4X, Stainless Steel,
UL,cUL, RoHS compliant.

Global Market for Electric Energy Storage
Worth $3.8 Billion by 2013
|
According to a new technical market research report, UTILITY POWER
STORAGE TECHNOLOGIES (EGY056A) from BCC Research, the global market for
electric energy storage (EES) is expected to be worth $2.6 billion in
2008. This is expected to increase to over $3.8 billion by 2013, a
compound average annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.0%. The market is broken
down into EES core applications and the power conversion systems that
are needed to control and interface these technologies with the power
grid. The EES core storage technologies of pumped hydro storage,
compressed air energy storage, lead-acid batteries, sodium sulfur
batteries, vanadium redox flow batteries, flywheels, superconducting
magnetic energy storage and supercapacitors are positioned to make a
significant impact over the next 5 years. These technologies can be
deployed in various applications along the power chain including use in
bulk generation, transmission and distribution, as well as providing
enhanced services for the end user. Total revenue for EES power
conversion systems is expected to reach $711 million in 2008. Due to the
convergence of higher fuel prices, increasing demand for power and
escalating environmental concerns, there has been a surge in interest in
grid-level energy storage. In addition to growth in renewable
generation, which benefits greatly from storage, there have also been a
number of legislative actions that will have a direct impact on this
growing industry.

***Compact Circuit Protector***
|
ST. LOUIS, MO: This compact Circuit Protector (CCP) represents an
exciting industry breakthrough in overcurrent protection that provides a
much higher level of protection while decreasing the size and cost of
electrical panels than was previously available. The CCP offers an
unprecedented 200kA short-circuit current rating (SCCR), using just 1/3
of the space of equivalent rated circuit breakers and 2/3 the space
required by a traditional fusible switch. In addition to its
ground-breaking, compact size and exceptionally high short-circuit
current rating (SCCR) and interrupting rating (IR) of 200kA with Class
CC fuses, the CCP also retains a best-in-class full-voltage rating of
600Vac, providing more installation flexibility compared to slash-rated
devices at 480/277Vac. In addition, the CCP is horsepower rated for
protecting motor circuits, and UL98 disconnect rated for the protection
of branch circuits with Class CC Fuses. ---Cooper Bussmann Inc.
