Electrical power in Italy is 230V 50Hz like rest of the Europe, but power outlets are different. Typically the outlet I saw in hotel at Sardegna is for three pin grounded plug on the right, while I am more used to SCHUCO on the left. This is what modern outlet looks This accept Italian and →

Renewables are critical to the future of efficient, clean transportation. Sweden just opened the world’s first electric highway article tells that Sweden’s electric long-haul trucks are finally up and running. A pilot study on that first mile is currently underway in the town of Sandviken. The system, which is the first of its kind to open →
enewable energy is generally defined as energy that is collected from resources which are naturally replenished on a human timescale, such as sunlight, wind, rain, tides, waves, and geothermal heat. Based on REN21‘s 2016 report, renewables contributed 19.2% to humans’ global energy consumption and 23.7% to their generation of electricity in 2014 and 2015. Efficient →

A solid state relay (SSR) is an industrial component used for interfacing low voltage control signals to high current mains voltage loads. The SSR may be designed to switch either AC or DC to the load. It serves the same function as an electromechanical relay, but has no moving parts. You can control SSRs easily →
