‘Inspiring Innovations’ at Phoenix Contact breakfast
On 25 June 2015 Phoenix Contact hosted a breakfast at the Randpark Golf Course to introduce their most recent innovations. The company believes
in investing in fundamental research which results in the development of high quality products that address special requirements in industry.
An example of this is the unique 6 mm safety relay. Something previously thought to be impossible to achieve is now possible with their relay
technology. These PSR mini safety relays are an exciting new innovation.
Phoenix Contact has reinvented surge protection through the use of the new Safe Energy Control technology with spark gap without line follow
current. The new SEC range is low maintenance and easy to install. These were just two of the inspiring innovations introduced at the breakfast.
