Monitoring and maintenance
June 1st 2007 Curtis Instruments says it is
always happy to advise
customers on the best ways
of monitoring and
maintaining batteries.
"By constantly taking the
time and initiative to check
voltage under load, operators
of industrial electrical
equipment will gain in key
areas," says managing
director Barry Langsford.
"There is the assured,
uninterrupted productivity by
ensuring optimum operating
power is in place. Then there
is the benefit of extended
battery life by avoiding deep
discharging, a
common mistake
that naturally
affects life
cycle.
Maintenance
cost reductions
are a huge benefit; low
voltages and heavily
discharged batteries result in
overheated windings,
premature contactor wear or
failure, and damage to
control circuitry." A choice of
gauges include intelligent
technology which
warns of predetermined
low
voltage – even
after having been
disconnected
– and LED
displays
clearly indicate
the state of charge. More articles from Curtis Instruments (UK) Ltd.: |
