For more than four decades, low-voltage switchgear systems have stayed more or less the same.  Now, it’s time for a revolution. Introducing ABB NeoGearTM, the biggest breakthrough in switchgear technology yet.

NeoGear is a revolutionary new switchgear, based on an innovative busbar concept. Combined with the connectivity and digital smartness of the ABB Ability™ platform, it offers maximum safety, highest reliability, more flexibility, better efficiency and measurable ROI.

• NeoGear is safer, thanks to its revolutionary, fully insulated busbar system
• NeoGear is more reliable, because its busbar system is maintenance-free and significantly reduces risk of mechanical failure
• NeoGear is more flexible, thanks to a new contact system
• NeoGear is scalable, because it needs much fewer parts and offers more space for starter and feeder components
• NeoGear saves energy thanks to its excellent thermal performance and sharply reduced losses
• NeoGear is underpinned by the ABB Ability™ platform, for better energy management, condition monitoring and predictive maintenance
• NeoGear is future-proof, ready to support the digital factory of the future with its cloud computing an industrial IoT solutions

NeoGear eliminates hazardous exposure to live parts, uses 92 percent fewer busbar components than traditional switchgear and with 90 percent fewer electrical joints improves switchgear availability. The arc ignition protected zone keeps maintenance personnel safer when performing routine works and repairs, while also reducing the risk of arcs caused by mechanical failures.

NeoGear offers a reduced physical footprint by up to 25 percent compared to equivalent switchgear technologies. Within this compact footprint, it also achieves energy efficiency improvements of up to 20 percent due to reduced heat dissipation.

A low noise SQ57 DC brushless motor drives the pump vacuuming mosquitoes

Zika virus, dengue, chikungunya and yellow fever are primarily transmitted by the bite of an infected mosquito. To date, A total of 86 countries and territories have reported evidence of mosquito-transmitted Zika infection with no vaccine yet available for either prevention or treatment.

Development of a Zika vaccine remains an active area of research. In the meantime, smart technology has revolutionized mosquito control by creating mosquito traps which pose no danger to people or our ecosystems.

Supply, Overcurrent Protection and Power Distribution in a Single System

E-T-A’s compact and flexible REX system represents a comprehensive  'All In One'  DC 24 V protection and distribution solution for machine and panel builders

What are the benefits of our all-in-one solution?
The REX12 is a perfectly matched system with an optimised number of components and functionalities.  All-in-one solution means: Central input + protection + power distribution in one complete system. This creates considerable time and cost advantages.

Your Benefits:
* Increases machine uptime – through clear failure detection, high transparency and remote diagnosis
* Flexibility is ensured – through ease of assembly or disassembly, modular design and convenient adjustment
* Saves 50 % time – through innovative and flexible connection technology
* Saves costs – as no further accessories are required
* Saves space - because each module has a width of only 12.5 mm

Are you looking for condition monitoring and predictive maintenance?
Storage and evaluation of all data logged in machinery and plants is the precondition for industry 4.0 solutions on the score of “condition monitoring” and also “predictive maintenance”. Our power distribution and protection system REX12 will help to enhance transparency in your plant and consistency of your systems.

International Standards: UL 508, NEC Class2, EN 60204-1
Besides the UL508 approval and NEC Class2, the REX12 exclusively meets the requirements of cable protection to EN60204-1. This is possible because the internal fail-safe element in the shape of a blade fuse corresponds to the current rating of the circuit protector in question. Concretely, this means that the current rating of the protector and the rating of the fail-safe element are identical.
