February 2005 Part 1

Dear user,

It’s been a great start to 2005 for Voltimum. We are delighted to say that we will soon be adding heating products to our on-line encyclopaedia thanks to Dimplex who joined us in January. However, you can already read about their latest water-heating product innovation below.

Your letters about Part P continue to pour in. Your concerns have shifted from whether or not you comply to the costs of compliance. February’s Letter of the Month highlights the cost to the contractor.

Check out the new products on the market this month: Plugs and Sockets that clip together from Legrand and a new medium voltage motor starter from Merlin Gerin.

It looks like SPIT are trying to get a debate going on the use of gas- versus battery- powered tools. Read the article below and, if you have views on the subject, email us and have your say.

We end on a sad note. We wish to pay our respects to Bill Evett, Managing Editor of Electrical Times and Electrical Review and a good friend to Voltimum, who passed away unexpectedly last week.

The Voltimum Team
