The Importance of Circuit Breaker Boots in Harsh Environments
Circuit breaker boots are used to cover and protect electrical protection devices. While largely unseen, these components are present in industrial infrastructure, electric vehicles (EVs), and other systems, and they are integral in maintaining the safe operation of electrical systems. Keep reading to learn more about circuit breakers’ role in ongoing electrical safety and why circuit breaker boots are crucial for protecting these components in harsh or demanding environment The Role of Circuit Breakers in Electrical Safety Circuit breakers are resettable protective devices that can shut off electrical systems as needed to enable safe electrical equipment operation. However, a number of issues can render the circuit breaker unable to flip on or result in false trips, including: For applications that can involve harsh operating environments, circuit breaker protection is critical to protect against these factors. Extending Circuit Breaker Performance and Life with Sealing Boots Circuit breaker boots are flexible parts designed

Lufthansa Technik renews its trust in Safran Electrical & Power for the maintenance of its electrical harnesses
Safran Electrical & Power has signed an extension to its contract with Lufthansa Technik, one of the world’s leading engine maintenance and repair companies, to provide electrical harness maintenance for CFM56 engines. This contract extends the one signed at the 2019 Paris Air Show. It covers the wiring of CFM56 engines powering the Airbus A320 and Boeing 737 families,that is a fleet of over 12,000 aircraft. The Safran Electrical & Power site in Vichy will continue to repair the wiring harnesses, which will then be delivered to Lufthansa Technik in Hamburg. “We are honored that Lufthansa Technik has renewed its trust in us for the repair of its engine wiring harnesses. It comes as recognition for the excellent operational performance of our repair teams based in Vichy. It will also be an exciting challenge to continue to support Lufthansa Technik over the next few years,” says Vincent Auzou, Program Manager, Interconnection Systems Eurasia,
Crouzets Solid State Relays are Back – Crouzet Redacted
After a few years off the market, Crouzet, a leading world manufacturer of mechatronic components, is launching an extensive new range of solid state relays. They’re back … and stronger! An extensive new light-design range Maybe you remember Crouzet’s GN and GNA solid state relay ranges? Then you’ll definitely be delighted to see them again with all the characteristics you appreciate, and some new characteristics too. The new relays have the same power outputs, with a lighter design, ideal for harsh environments, and a modular cover to use the IP00 and IP20 versions in the same reference. The range of items covers 125 A and 200 VDC or 660 VAC. Overvoltage protection (input and output) comes as standard in the Classic and Performance versions. In connection with mounting, the relays can be mounted on panels or on DIN rails. The switching options include synchronous, asynchronous and special synchronous: the new range caters for resistive, inductive and capacitive loads with a single product. It also
Crouzets and Safran Electronics Defense Have Teamed Up to Design Piloting Tools
Under the auspices of the European programme for fostering innovation in aeronautics, Crouzet and Safran Electronics & Defense have joined forces to develop a new mini-control grip adapted to meet the future expectations of both fixed and rotorcraft pilots. Innovate, integrate, industrialize… And then start all over again! Crouzet’s pursuit of increasingly innovative aeronautical solutions is a never-ending quest. The Goal? Providing pilots with cockpit elements and piloting tools that render their aircraft more responsive and safer. One recent example is the joint innovation project between Safran Electronics & Defense and Crouzet under the Clean Sky 2 8th Call for Proposals. Co-funded by major European companies and the European Commission’s Horizon 2020 program, this initiative aims to support the emergence of innovations affording a greener, leaner and more efficient future to the aeronautics industry. Clean Sky 2 actor Safran Electronics & Defense opted for this programme as a mechanism to
