Extremelife-60 Cables

Turck recently added a new video on the Extremelife-60 cables. These cables offer unparalleled durability in cold environments, with temperature ratings down to -60 °C and an FT4 flame test rating. Watch the YouTube video to learn more. 
Rittal recently published a new piece of literature that breaks down SCCR (Short Circuit Current Rating) calculations. With the new codes, there may be a greater risk that many types of machines will not comply with them. Rittal provides a reliable solution to this potential risk with their RiLine 60 mm busbar system. It has cULus-listed approval with a consistent SCCR of 65 kW.
