Meet the Father of a VDE Standard

This year’s VDE conference on protection and automation in Ulm in June 2010 was a splendid occasion to learn the latest technology. But we also were happy to meet good friends. One of the guests in the Secucontrol booth was Walter Schossig, veteran of the Thuringia chapter of the VDE. Mr. Schossig was instrumental in designing and implementing the VDE standard for using test interfaces that has made testing so much more reliable. Mr. Schossig has published a renowned textbook on protection and is currently working on a series of articles featured in PAC World Magazine on the history of the electrical industry.

Improved Online Configuration Tool Released

SecuControl has released a new and improved online configuration tool for all test interface products.

While existing standard configurations are described in detail in the reference documentation that can be found in the download area of each product line, the goal of the new online configurator is to allow for fast and easy configuration of customized models. The tool lets you define circuit types, customize label colors and text, select product options, see and download an image of your test block/plug, and submit a price inquiry.

The configuration tool can be accessed from a link at the bottom of each of the test interface product pages (FTL, FTS/FTP, ITS/STP and SAX/PAX), underneath of "downloads" in the English and Portuguese language areas.
