HPS at SPS IPC Drives 2015
This past November, HPS was one of 1,668 companies who exhibited at the SPS IPC Drives exhibition in Nürnberg, Germany.  
 
The SPS IPC Drives event is Europe's leading exhibition for automation, drives and associated electrical equipment. Attendance for the show increased by 7,600 visitors in 2015 to 64,386 attendees. 

HPS displayed a variety of global products in a new 35 square metre booth. The event was attended by HPS personnel from Europe and North America.

Transformer Short Circuit Considerations
Short circuits or faults can and do occur on electric power and distribution systems. When a fault occurs on the load side of a transformer, the fault current will pass through the transformer. As components on these systems, transformers need to be able to withstand these fault currents.

Fault currents flowing through transformers are significantly higher than the rated currents of the transformers. In worst case, the current would be as high as the current that would flow if system voltage was applied to the primary terminals while the secondary terminals are shorted - limited by the transformer impedance only. These currents produce both mechanical and thermal stresses in the transformers. 

Forces resulting from the currents passing through the transformer act on the conductors. These forces are a function of the peak asymmetrical current (the highest peak value of any cycle of the current), which is usually at its highest during the first half cycle of the fault. The duration of the fault is not normally a concern for mechanical withstand because the peak value of each cycle of the current reduces as the fault persists. The transformer manufacturer needs to ensure these forces do not damage the transformer.

HPS Showcases New Products at Rockwell Automation's Automation Fair ® 2015
In 2015, HPS proudly exhibited at Automation Fair  to showcase our new DOE 2016 Distribution and Cast Resin products. HPS' 20x20 foot booth was positioned at the front of the show, generating increased exposure for our offerings. HPS also presented a Technical Session each of the two days, focusing on the new DOE 2016 legislation.

HPS looks forward to building on this momentum at upcoming Rockwell Automation On The Move Events and our participation in Automation Fair again this coming November. Automation Fair 2016 will be taking place November 9-10th, at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta, Georgia.
