On the 10th of February in the British Embassy in Moscow Terasaki Electric Europe has hosted a seminar ‘Modern Terasaki Circuit Breakers for Safety and Protection’in cooperation with our Russian representative Azbuka Elektrichestva. More than 100 electronic specialists have attended this seminar.

Team Leader (Energy) of the British Embassy, Sean Earl, has held an opening speech, where he stated that the British Embassy is glad to support the cooperation of two countries in the energy industry, support Terasaki company and their official representative in Russia – Azbuka Elektrichestva. Diplomat has mentioned the importance of the energy industry and the high quality of the Terasaki products, which provide protection and safety in different parts of the world in proite houses, industrial buildings and marine industry, where Terasaki is a leading supplier of switching devices.

Mr Earl has also mentioned that the venue of the British Embassy in Moscow has been built using Terasaki circuit breakers, which have been providing safe and stable energy supply. Air circuit breakers guarantee safe and secure work for the embassy staff.

Tim Campbell, marketing manager of the Terasaki Electric Europe has presented general information about Terasaki circuit breakers, company profile and different project, where Terasaki circuit breakers were used. The survey in the end of the seminar has showed that guests highly evaluated all the presentations’ delivery and the background of our specialist. Tim Campbell has 13 years of experience working with low voltage equipment and provides training for specialists in Europe, Africa and South East. This year he has presented in Moscow for the first time and has answered all the questions from the guests.

Alexey Pischur, general manager of the Azbuka Elektrichestva, has made a presentation about the partnership with Terasaki in Russia.

Both presenters were very pleased with the audience, who was listening very carefully and asked interesting questions.

Between the presentations, during the coffee breaks and lunch, guests could see the product displays; try to operate with Terasaki breakers themselves.

Two switchboard building companies from Russia were also presenting their products: ‘Elektronmash’ from St. Petersburg and ‘EKTA’ from Ivanovo. Visitors could see their switchboards, which were built using Terasaki ACBs TemPower2 and MCCBs TemBreak2.

In the end of the event guests enjoyed sampling of Scotch Whisky from different regions of Scotland and received certificates about taking part in the seminar.

Terasaki Electric Europe has hosted an Open Day on the 5th of October. A lot of specifyiers came to Clydebank, Glasgow to visit the manufacture. Visitors have attended a CPD seminar, where they were introduced to Circuit Breakers, Cascade and Discrimination.

Attendees could operate an Air Circuit Breaker, have hands-on demonstrations of Moulded Case Circuit Breakers and Distribution Boards and learn about all the services offered by Terasaki company on the product displays during the well-come tea and coffee breakfast. Everyone had a guided tour and explanation of assembly and test processes of modern circuit breakers provided by friendly staff. This all finished with a nice hot dinner and gifts from Terasaki to their guests, which replenished all the information they have gained. Terasaki has received a good feedback from the visitors, who were interested in further events that will be organised by the company or the Lunch and Learn Presentations that Terasaki Electric offers.

Terasaki Electric Europe Ltd participated at the Middle East Electricity Exhibition from the 8th to 10th February 2011, in a joint stand with our partner for UAE, Al Ghandi Trading. Our joint stand was 36sq meters with 15sq meters apportioned to Terasaki.

This exhibition provided an opportunity to promote our new range of products including Space Saving MCCBS up to 250A and TD3 range of Miniature Circuit Breakers. Tom Craig (General Manager) presented two seminars on the Application of Circuit Breakers which were well received.
For further information on these new product ranges, please contact Terasaki.

Terasaki and Mardix are delighted to announce the success of their joint switchgear testing program. Engineers at Mardix have designed a new industry-leading, high-capacity distribution switchgear system incorporating Terasaki circuit breakers. Intended for use in buildings with high, concentrated electrical energy demand such as data centres and banks, it has now been proven to withstand short-circuit fault current of up to one hundred thousand amps (100kA).

Peace of Mind from Independent Testing and Certification to IEC 61439

The consequences of switchgear failure when a business depends heavily on the availability of electricity could be disastrous. Terasaki and Mardix had the system independently tested and certified to give users and specifiers peace of mind about the performance of the equipment.

Short-circuit performance at 100kA was tested at the ASTA-approved DAMSTRA laboratory in the Netherlands.

Temperature performance was verified at kA Testing in the UK (also ASTA-certified). This highlighted the superior thermal performance of the switchboard and circuit breakers in that:

     • a rating of 6300A for the incoming circuit (a TemPower 2 ACB) was achieved with natural cooling;

     • Outgoing circuits rated from 160A to 3200A (TemBreak 2 MCCBs and TemPower 2 ACBs) achieved a diversity factor of         1 with natural cooling.

Latest Switchgear Standard

The system was designed and tested to the latest standard for low-voltage switchgear assemblies, IEC 61439. ASTA certificates are available and reference the new standard.

One of the most powerful features of the TemBreak2 MCCB is that it is so easy to install and operate - it was designed that way.
TemBreak2 MCCBs are now available with high tech integrated LCD energy monitor which can be connected to an Automatic Monitoring and Targeting system.

The TemPower 2 ACB is extremely reliable in service.
All models in the range have a short-time withstand rating equal to their service breaking capacity. This guarantees total discrimination without further calculation because it allows short-circuit protection to be time-delayed even at the maximum prospective short-circuit current.

We have produced a new combined product selection book, PL0809.The new publication combines product selection tables for Air Circuit Breakers, Moulded Case Circuit Breakers and Distribution products in one comprehensive user-friendly reference document.

The 139 page publication, with full price listings, is split into application-specific areas, with the main index providing a quick reference guide with pictures highlighting the key product areas.
