  • Omron launches 1500V DC relay series

    Omron launches 1500V DC relay series

    Omron has launched a PCB relay for 1500V DC systems. The G9KD targets energy storage and EV charging hardware where high-current isolation, compact footprints, and board-level assembly are becoming more important.

  • AMPECO adds AI diagnostics to charge point operations

    AMPECO adds AI diagnostics to charge point operations

    AMPECO has launched an AI operations agent for charging networks. CoOperator is designed to cut fault-resolution time by tracing session failures, hardware issues and network faults across EV charging estates.

  • Electrification sharpens pressure on low-voltage grids

    Electrification sharpens pressure on low-voltage grids

    Low-voltage networks are heading into a more demanding phase of electrification. New research points to rising household loads, sharper evening peaks, and more reverse power flows, increasing the need for real-time visibility, targeted reinforcement, and stronger planning at feeder level.

  • Fluke targets fast charger testing bottleneck

    Fluke targets fast charger testing bottleneck

    Fluke has launched a DC charger analyser for field teams. The FEV500 combines safety, communication, and interoperability checks for fast chargers, helping service teams validate stations without using a vehicle on site.

  • UK Networks launches EV charging battery tender

    UK Networks launches EV charging battery tender

    A UK tender targets batteries for constrained charging sites nationwide. The first 22 systems form the opening phase of a 160-location programme designed to support high-power EV charging where grid capacity is too limited for direct connection.

  • Sensata launches integrated EV fault contactor

    Sensata launches integrated EV fault contactor

    Sensata has launched a combined contactor and passive fuse device. FaultBreak is validated to 16 kA at 1 kV and is designed to cut component counts, weight, and thermal losses in EV power systems.

  • Elucian adds IP65 EV distribution boards

    Elucian adds IP65 EV distribution boards

    Elucian has broadened its EV board offer for UK installers. The new IP65 range adds pre-configured protection, weather-resistant enclosures, and EV-specific circuit arrangements as charging work continues to push consumer unit design into more specialised territory.
