Dr Tom Brookes, Managing Director of Zzeus Training and Chair of the Fire & Security Association, provides insight into fire cable installation, and explains why correct insulation and continuity ...

This simple but clever continuity tester sports two LEDs: RED LED = circuit resistance is < approx 10K, GREEN LED = circuit resistance <10Ω. It consumes approx 8mA from a 9V battery. When not ...

In a perfect world, electrical insulation would allow no current to flow through it. Unfortunately, several factors can — and will — result in the deterioration and ultimate failure of electrical ...

As semiconductor packages grow more complex, conventional continuity tests are no longer adequate for screening out open circuits and pin-to-pin shorts. Most test methods were designed for devices ...

Many small businesses are able to continue to operate during a crisis, such as a weather-related emergency, because they have continuity plans. In addition to creating a continuity plan, your company ...

The Fire Protection Association (FPA) has become UKAS accredited to perform fire resistance testing, following expansion of its testing facilities with the addition of two fire resistance test ...

Transformers are very reliable devices and can provide service for a long time if regularly maintained and serviced. They’re also the single most costly item in any substation. To protect against ...

Enabling test lab automation provides an organization with the opportunity to test devices, applications and services faster, and to establish 24/7 operations from anywhere in the world With ...

When we talk about business continuity, what usually comes to mind is disaster recovery, backup processes and resilience planning. These elements are critical, but there’s one aspect that’s often ...

The business continuity plan may be backed by good technology and written documentation, but unless it’s brought out and tested every now and then, there is still a risk that everything may not work ...
