Relays used for railway rolling stock are subject
to increasingly higher technical demands – such
as the need for wider operating ranges; higher
resistance to shock and vibration; operation over
a wider range of temperature and humidity; and
above all, the fire resistance properties of the
relay’s constituent parts.
The resistance against random vibrations and shock of the relays and their sockets and accessories is in compliance with the prescription of EN 61373 standard for Category 1, Class B products.
Their resistance to temperature and humidity is in compliance with the prescription of EN 50155 standard, TX class (for relay and sockets) or T1 class (for timers and control relays).
The relays and their sockets and accessories are manufactured using specific insulating materials, which satisfy the requirement R26 of fire protection prescribed by the standard EN 45545-2 +A1:2016 for product category EL10.
The requirement R26, for Hazardous levels HL1 to HL3, is the conformity to V0 class following vertical small flame test according to EN 60695-11-10.

E. Preston (Electrical) Ltd was established in 1980 as a specialist distributor of switches and electrical components. Beginning with only 3 franchises the company currently has over 40 different franchises and holds approximately half a million pounds worth of stock.
Now in the third generation of family ownership E Preston Electrical continues to grow and build on traditional values.
“We work hard for our customers to get the best products at the best prices while providing exceptional customer service. We always do what we say we will, even if that is just a call back,” says Mark Preston, MD.
This is a principle that was rooted in the business from its inception over 30 years ago by founder, and grandfather to the current directors, Ernest Preston.
Although there is still a great emphasis on these traditional values the company has embraced new technology in all of its business operations and now launches a new digital venture. The new interactive e-shop eprestononline.co.uk is aimed at increasing accessibility to existing and new customers.
“We have access to the latest technology from our suppliers,” says Matthew Preston, sales director. “We want to make dealing with E Preston as easy as possible. We will continue to visit new and existing customers, and speak to them on the telephone, but with eprestononline we can offer them access to our company whenever they want.”
The new eShop will allow customers to log in to their own portal to view orders, print off documents such as acknowledgements and invoices, and allows them to place repeat orders. Data sheets and supplier catalogues will also be readily available.
The company believes it maintains its position as a traditional company - or more appropriately, a modern company with traditional values.

There are a few inventions that we often take for granted. The indicator light is a perfect example of an unsung hero in the engineering world. Though it’s a simple little component it performs a role we simply couldn’t do without and is used in countless applications. The indicator light is our gateway to understanding the state of the machinery we interact with day in day out; it’s essential for condition monitoring and health and safety, and for that reason it seems it’s about time it got a bit of recognition for the essential work it does!
LED Indicator Lights
The most common form of indicator light these days is the LED indicator light, although more traditional incandescent light indicators are still used and available. LEDs were first developed as replacement indicator lights for incandescent and neon indicator lamps. LEDs were developed in 1962 by Nick Holonyak Jr who is widely considered to be the father of the LED. Originally LEDs were expensive to manufacture, costing around $200 per unit so had very little application, but by 1968 the lights had been developed so that LEDS could start to be widely used. They were installed in various pieces of equipment as indicator lights.
The technology which led to cheaper LED lights being developed has now advanced so that LED lights can be used for everyday lighting as well as in machinery. LEDs are set to be the next big thing in public and domestic lighting in the next couple of decades.
Why We Couldn’t Live Without Indicator Lights
Indicator lights let us know what’s going on inside equipment and this equipment can be as trivial as a games console or as important as an aeroplane. If the indicator lights fail on your favourite console nobody is going to die, but in a plane or car it could be different story. We rely on these little lights to warn us if our brake fluid is low or to let our pilot know the plane has sufficient fuel. In industry we use indicator lights to let us monitor the state of our machinery so we can decrease downtime and increase efficiency. In the office an indicator light can monitor our energy use and help us become more eco-friendly.
Indeed, CMD offer a new ‘footprint system’ which helps offices monitor energy use and this relies heavily on the indicator light. Indicator lights let us know when something is wrong and when everything’s going right and without them the world would be far less efficient place.
So next time your indicator light flashes up take a second to value its role in our work and daily lives, it really is something we couldn’t live without.
