Encased in an IP67/NEMA 4-rated housing and featuring a conduit fitting for straightforward wiring, the MR2 is an excellent fit for various general HVAC applications.

Many electricians and contractors are moving towards using Rogowski Coils because of the time saved during installation and the reduced shipping costs for high amperage requirements. Because of the size, weight and flexibility of a Rogowski Coil, installers can save significant time and labor because of the ease of surrounding conductors of all sizes. However, what most people don’t realize is that Rogowski Coils have many technical advantages over standard split-core or “donut” CT’s which can help improve monitoring energy in different applications.

One of the most vital processes within critical environments is the sterilization of medical tools and devices. Patient safety relies heavily on the efficiency and reliability of sterilization devices. Contaminants can become highly resistive to disinfection, which results in the need for high performance sterilization methods that will ensure sterile equipment. Three primary methods of medical sterilization occur from high temperature/pressure and chemical processes.
