Welcome to the penultimate issue of Electrical Engineering magazine for the year. As the curtain begins to slowly come down on 2014 it is time for reflection and we’ll be looking back over the last 12 months in our December/January issue.
As for November, we have a bumper issue this month and included in our features we speak to enclosures manufacturer Spelsberg on the metal versus plastic debate when it comes to the material of choice for robust, outdoor enclosures.
Our cabling feature has a definite Liverpudlian twist this month as we look at Prysmian’s installation of fire resistant cable in two road tunnels under the River Mersey, plus ABB’s $30m order from DONG Energy to supply a high voltage cable system at the Burbo Bank Extension Offshore Wind Farm in Liverpool Bay.
Energy is clearly an ongoing concern for industry, so we’ll also be taking a look at some of the latest efficiency promoting technologies, along with a focus on sensors, drives and controls, lighting and PPE. November also sees the return of our competition (please turn to page 39).
