Catch up on the latest news from PD Devices Ltd and the surge protection industry.
EDF Energy operates nuclear reactors strategically located across power plants in the UK. Each power plant is subjected to a ‘Statutory Outage’ every three years to permit preventative and curative maintenance to be undertaken, ensuring continued safe operation and power generation.
PD Devices successfully completed its F4N journey for a third time and is re-granted Fit For Nuclear F4N accreditation by NAMRC until 2027.
Fit For Nuclear (F4N) is a unique service to help UK manufacturing companies get ready to bid for work in the nuclear supply chain enabling companies to measure their operations against the standards required to supply the nuclear industry.
Investment being made in upgrading and developing Rail systems throughout the UK includes the introduction of a new generation of Solid-State Interlocking (SSI) systems.
With more processing capacity in a much reduced size, SSI is susceptible to overvoltage transients and PD Devices has worked with Network Rail to develop Surge Protection solutions for this technology.
