There are situations where UPS have failed earth loop impedance testing. There are good reasons for this and we have prepared a Technical Questions Answered Page on the subject.

We just came across a new hand held battery tester called ‘The Interrogator Battery Analyzer”. It is the first ever handheld battery analysis system that determines the level of sulfation - the most common failure mechanism in lead acid batteries and can also determine the level of dry out in electrolyte starved systems. Fully non invasive The Interrogator looks like an interesting piece of kit that we will be testing shortly for use by Riello Galatrek engineers.

We picked up these snippets from Channel Show Website the other day. “In the thick of storm season, lightning can strike small firms twice: in productivity and on the bottom line, a new study warns. Last year the Tornado and Storm Research Organisation (TOSRO) recorded 300,000 lightning strikes across the UK. The Met Office recorded 5,271 lightning strikes between 11 and 15 July. Its detection system has been known to pick up 130,000 lightning discharges in a single day.”
