Not many people know that Women's Day - which we now celebrate every spring on the March 8th - was originally called International Working Women's Day.

The first National Women's Day was celebrated in 1910 in the United States. It focused on promoting equal rights, including suffrage, for women across the world. Although influenced by communist ideology, the celebration stood the test of time and irrespective of political or geographical coordinates is now a growing part of popular culture.

REO will be participating for the third time at the Railway technology exhibition in Turkey on 7-9th March 2013.

Turkey itself has seen a 20% increase in railway construction over the last 3 years and the Turkish Ministry of Transport have provided 50 billion euros for the next 12 years to improve the high speed train lines and to construct new lines for both freight and passenger transportation .

Last week, REO exhibited at the SMEC show in Farnborough, UK.

The show is the largest industrial exhibition in the UK and has a diverse range of exhibitors and an excellent standard of attendees. Geographically most of our customers are concentrated in the North of England and this show was a good opportunity to demonstrate our knowledge and expertise to companies in the London area.

REO's new AC current transformer is accurate to 0.2% - meeting IEC 60044-1 requirements. Current transformers are used to isolate low voltage monitoring circuits from higher power circuits when monitoring or measurement must take place. A current transformer produces a reduced current accurately proportional to the current in the circuit, which can be connected to measuring and recording instruments.

REO has launched REOMED II

A range of medical isolation transformers for the galvanic and safe isolation of medical equipment from the mains supply. The entire range is designed to conform to EN / UL60601 medical use directive. Medical isolation transformers reduce the risk of electric shock to people who may already be in a compromised state of health, by removing the connection between neutral and earth which exists in a normal un-isolated system.

Reduction in energy consumption has become the Holy Grail of both the engineering world and the wider business environment over the last decade. However, in the process the importance of power quality has been marginalized and few energy users understand that a welcome side effect of power quality improvement is a reduction in your electricity bill.
