Lowering energy consumption is a top priority across many industries in order to mitigate operational costs and lower carbon footprints as much as possible. One of the many ways to accomplish this is through the use of variable frequency drives (VFDs) in automation systems, with Control Techniques’ drives being well-suited to support that goal.

Safety is a primary concern with electrical systems, and two critical components that work to provide it are safety switches and circuit breakers. In this blog, we will cover how these components work, the types available, and their common issues and maintenance, which is essential knowledge for anyone involved in electrical work.
