Top three ways power quality affects your business
When lightning strikes sand a beautiful crystal, a fulgurite, is created. However, a lightning strike on the power grid is not as pleasant, as Google recently discovered. When lightning struck the local power grid supplying one of its data centres in Belgium - four times - several of the discs stored there were completely wiped.
600W power supply in UK distribution deal
Power supply manufacturer VOX Power has named Gresham Power Electronics as a UK distributor. Most significant among the VOX Power range is the NEVO+ 600 Series which delivers 600W of output power without the need for derating at line voltages above 120VAC. Through the implementation of a fan control circuit the NEVO+ reduces cooling fan noise in applications with low ambient sound levels.
