NHP continues to encourage Australia’s youth in the engineering profession, with its joint sponsorship with Engineers Australia and Electrical Energy Society Australia of the 2011Engineers Australia Graduate Electrical Power Engineer of the Year Award.

This award was initiated to encourage excellence and innovation in the field of electrical power engineering. By encouraging young graduates to strive for a rewarding, long term career in electrical power engineering, it hopes to help address the current trend of personnel shortages in this area.

The award will honour a professional engineer who has made significant contributions in the practice of electrical power engineering and demonstrated individual contribution to the community. In acknowledgment to younger practitioners, these contributions will have been made during the preceding three to six years (see entry checklist for full eligibility details).

The winner of the award will receive:

• A trip to Europe (complements of NHP) to attend an international electrical engineering fair. The winner will also visit major international electrical product manufacturer’s plants, where they will gain valuable insights into the power engineering profession
• A framed certificate
• One year’s subscription to Engineers Australia
• One year’s subscription to Electric Energy Society of Australia
• Full registration to the National Electric Energy Society of Australia Conference and Exhibition

Please forward this brochure on to anyone that you consider could be a potential candidate.

NHP are proud to release their new range of Schaffner Sinusoidal FN5040/45 Output Filters which ensure cooler and more reliable drives.

As well as offering the capacity to prevent premature failures and expensive downtimes, this latest Schaffner offering from NHP is precisely matched to the technical requirements of modern drive systems reducing the extra losses experienced in AC motors.

The new sinusoidal output filters smooth the modulated output voltage of modern drives and provide the motor with a clean sinusoidal voltage with low residual ripple, in turn preventing premature ageing and destruction of the AC motor.

The Sinusoidal FN5040/45 Output Filters are available in a compact open frame design (FN5040) or as a user-friendly packaged version (FN5045 - IP20) – both of which are perfectly suited to commercial applications. Both models are designed for rated currents of 4.5 to 1200 A and for networks up to 3x 500 VAC (+/- 10%), and the cable-shield support brackets that are integrated into the housing, ensure savings on installation time and costs.

As the international leader in the fields of electromagnetic compatibility and power quality, Schaffner’s new range of filters strengthens NHP’s already market leading offering in the Power Quality industry sector.

For further information on the new range of Schaffner filters, please contact your local NHP representative on 1300 NHP NHP.

NHP is pleased to introduce the new range of ‘Compact MOD6 1P RCBOs’ as the latest line in their competitive product catalogue. The Compact MOD6 1P RCBO is the same size as an MCB, which is much more “compact” than traditional 1P RCBOs.

The new range offers distinct features that eclipse other rivalling models, further placing itself at the forefront of RCBO technology.

In line with NHP’s strong customer focus, they have ensured that the MOD6 family of products which include MOD6 Main Switches, MOD6 ‘M6RCBS’ RCBOs and MOD6 MCBs, can be used side by side using standard buscomb which saves valuable time on installations. In addition, the unique feature of an Earth reference lead guarantees correct operation in case of a loss of neutral.

The MOD6 load centre range which consists of 12, 18, 24 and 36 way in both surface and flush mount, is the perfect enclosure to install your MOD6 equipment.

The ‘Compact MOD6 1P RCBO’ also comes complete with a neutral pigtail for connection to the main neutral bar which reduces both time and cable. Complete with NHP’s national service and support promise on the entire range, the latest MOD6 circuit protection products can be retrofitted in place of a standard MCB and there are no requirements for custom busbars.

For further information on the new range of ‘Compact MOD6 1P RCBO’ units, please contact your local NHP representative on 1300 NHP NHP.
