EV battery transport: 5 challenges and how to overcome them
Sponsored by Labelmaster. The EV market is booming, with the number of EVs on the road expected to hit 125 million by 2030. But the rapidly growing EV market has brought with it complex supply chain challenges associated with transporting the large format lithium-ion batteries that power them. And these challenges only increase depending on… Read more »
Detecting latent defects in electric motors with partial discharge
Sponsored by Marposs. Motor testing is designed to check the integrity of an electric motor through the use of equipment that identifies potential issues within the motor. The main objective of motor testing is to reveal latent problems and to prevent unnecessary failure by evaluating static parameters like insulation, wire damage and electrical current leakage, as well… Read more »
