European Standard IEC/EN 61000-3-12: This standard, effective from December 2010, regulates harmonic distortion levels for electrical equipment connected to public low voltage networks, specifically for power sources with a current between 16A and 75A per phase. Compliance is mandatory for manufacturers, and Cebora has implemented Power Factor Correction (PFC) devices to meet these requirements, resulting in reduced energy consumption and cost savings.
Product Update: Cebora has updated its product range to comply with the EN 61000-3-12 standard, offering advanced and energy-efficient products available in the new price list 1-2011.
Automotive Market Evolution: The automotive industry is increasingly using materials like galvanized sheet metal, aluminum, and high-strength steel to improve corrosion protection, reduce weight, and enhance recyclability. Aluminum is favored for its lightness and rust resistance, while high-strength steels offer excellent performance with reduced weight.
Cebora's Response: Cebora has developed specific generators for plasma cutting and welding of new materials, ensuring optimal repair processes. Their commitment to research and development has led to approval and recommendation by global automakers.
