NEXT GENERATION CLOUD SOLUTION EMIR SOFTWARE – A PROVIDER of business management software for companies working with electric motors, drives & gearboxes, pumps, generators, hydraulics, compressors, electronics, conveyors and their control systems – has been offering a cloud solution since 2015 – today it manages around 400 users virtually. The company has just announced the introduction of a next generation Cloud Server Solution for its cloud customers which is said to offer a secure, reliable and available Cloud Server solution with 24/7/365 key service support. Commenting on the announcement, Gary Downes, Managing Director at EMiR Software, said: “Many of our customers have moved towards a cloud solution as it negates the need to manage and maintain an IT system in house. The flexibility and speed of the EMiR-Cloud solution offers many of our customers a way to run EMiR and remove the effort associated with
managing IT. “We wanted to ensure that we could offer a scalable and futureproofed solution as our user-base increases and the demand for more software management also increases. We chose to partner with Node4 to achieve this, because it pro-actively monitors our customers’ platforms for issues or vulnerabilities around-theclock, and the UK-based, ISO 20000 certified service desk team is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.” The hosted server solution avoids the responsibility that comes with an onsite server – there is no need to maintain software updates, email services and ensuring accurate backups, as the cloud does it all. Indeed, the EMiR-Cloud is said to really come into its own when faced with an emergency that would previously have left business systems down for days. www.emirsoftware.com
RESIN-RICH, CLASS H COIL PASSES THE TEST PREFORMED WINDINGS HAS invested over 12,000 hours of research and development into collaboration with leading OEM’s and insulation manufacturers over the past three years. The result is the launch of the QualCoil H range of resin rich coils that are said to offer low Partial Discharge (PD) levels. QualCoil H has been independently tested and has successfully achieved over 2,000 hours on Voltage Endurance (VE) testing at 28kV at a temperature of 120°C without failure. Voltage endurance testing is designed to simulate the typical life of a motor or generator and the pass criteria for the test carried out on QualCoil H was 400 hours, which demonstrates the potential benefits to end users. Motors and generators will be able to operate for longer, will be more efficient and will require less maintenance. www.preformedwindings.com
TÜV-APPROVED IP67 MOTORS AND TESTING PROCEDURES TÜV SÜD HAS RECENTLY ATTESTED the dust- and waterproof construction according to protection class IP67 of an entire low voltage motor series for Menzel Elektromotoren, a manufacturer of IP67-rated low and medium voltage squirrel-cage motors up to size 355. The series extends to outputs of 400kW and voltages of 1000V. TÜV Süd has also attested Menzel’s procedures for IP67 testing, which the manufacturer offers for medium voltage motors from its own brand, up to 11kV. Menzel builds IP67 motors with minimal tolerances, waterproof encapsulated cast-iron casings and terminal boxes. It holds stock of all basic components for dust- and waterproof squirrel-cage motors so is able to offer short delivery times for standard designs. The motors are used worldwide, mainly in pump stations, flood-prone areas, food and drink industries and maritime

applications. They can be fully immersed at standstill for a period of 24-hours without any ingress of water. Subsequently, when water has
receded, the motors are ready to be switched on again directly. www.menzel-motors.com
