eeIt is now only a matter of weeks until the Sensors & Instrumentation exhibition 2014 taking place at the Birmingham NEC on 30th September to 1st October.

The event promises to be a busy affair as, taking place at the same time, will also be the Machine Building Show, PPMA, Interplas, TCT Live and Micro Nano Mems. You can still register online to visit.

Along with our regular features it is also supplement time again, with this month’s installment looking at UPS & Standby Power. This includes a feature from Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPSL) on what can be done about poor power quality; a case study from EMSc on its Powerstar voltage optimisation system which has been installed in over 400 UK hospitality venues; the latest UPS offerings from Rittal; plus an article from Eco Power Supplies on the role a UPS plays in the protection of power to mission sensitive IT within data centres.

Other features in the main issue this month include electrical design software, fire safety, cabling & cable management, surge protection and arc flash. Our cover story this month looks at the latest offerings from the IGE+XAO Group, which has been helping manufacturers design and maintain electrical installations for nearly 30 years.
