Wylex Announces Launch of New NHX Domestic Breaker Range

Wylex NSB MCB 50 Amp Single Pole Circuit Breaker Type B 50A NSB50 Series 3. Wylex are a market leading brand in circuit protection. Established in 1897 as an electrical contractor, later turning its attention to manufacturing electrical accessories at its newly acquired production site in Manchester. A simple and convenient solution, this American Metalcraft NSB50 black stamped out number table stand set is perfect for showcasing table numbers at your cafe, restaurant, wedding venue, or catered event! Thanks to its 10' height, this stand set ensures the numbers are easy to see and allows you to attractively display table numbers on top of any tabletop of your choosing. Featuring numbers 41.

In FY1968, NSF's budget grew to $505 million but inflation was such that, in constant dollars, the amount awarded was less than the year before. The next year was no better. Late in 1969, an amendment to the Military Authorization Act, introduced by Senator Mike Mansfield (D-WA), confused. Conder Bypass Separators. The Premier Tech aqua range of Conder Bypass Separators are used when it is deemed an acceptable risk to not provide full treatment for high flows, for example where only small spillages occur and the risk of spillage is small.

Wylex, the UK’s leading domestic circuit protection manufacturer, is delighted to announce the launch of a brand new range of 6KA circuit protection devices. The new range includes updated miniature circuit breakers and matching RCBOs, the design centring on the incorporation of the latest high quality Siemens MCB & RCBO technology and resulting in what company believe is the best range of domestic circuit protection devices available on the market today.

Since its acquisition by Siemens some four years ago, Wylex has been working behind the scenes to develop these new breakers, with the project involving the construction of a new production facility and specialist machinery to cater for the high volume demand for Wylex devices. First to market were the 10kA MCBs and matching RCBOs for the 3phase industrial circuit protection systems, followed now by the new range of 6kA domestic devices. The range known as NHX, includes B & C curve MCBs and B & C Curve single module 30mA RCBOs with ratings from 6A through to 50A.

These devices are suitable for use in all-new and existing NH consumer units and, from June 2010, will replace the ever popular NSB range. Wylex will continue to maintain stocks of the NSB range in parallel to the NHX range for those customers that prefer for reasons of aesthetics, to match devices when retro fitting an extra circuit to an existing installation.
Simon Rowlinson, Marketing Manager for Wylex says: “The NHX range is the completion of a 3 year long project culminating this month with the launch of these domestic devices. The dual stocking policy and clever retro fit compatibility of the new range, combined with the high quality of Siemens circuit protection technology caters for all customer needs.”

Crisis and Opportunity

On October 4, 1957, news stunned the world that the Soviet Union (USSR) had launched the first artificial earth-orbiting satellite, Sputnik I. Politicians, journalists, and citizens wanted to know how the USSR could have beaten the United States to this crucial goal (it would not be until January 31, 1958, that the United States would manage to orbit its first satellite, Explorer I).

Two weeks after Sputnik's launch, members of the National Science Board met in a somber five-hour, closed-door session. The minutes of that October 17, 1957, meeting reveal some of the anguish in their deliberations. The Foundation, after all, had been formed in the earlier emergency of 1949-1950 to help the United States wage the Cold War against the Soviet Union. The Foundation was also supposed to produce an adequate supply of scientists and engineers. Yet now the tabloids were screaming about Soviet superiority in science and technology.

Julius Stratton, president of MIT, said simply, 'The Board could not abdicate its responsibility.' In response to the crisis, the Board proposed to the President a six-point program, including 'more adequate funds . for fundamental research, and an effort . to distinguish in the public mind between basic and applied or developmental research..' Adequate numbers of teachers at all levels were also needed.

For his part, Waterman gave many speeches and testified to Congress about the Nation's need for more research and better science education. Soon, Congress gave the Foundation three supplemental budgets in FY1958. For FY1959, the BOB encouraged NSF to seek $140 million-a whopping $100 million more than NSF's FY1958 appropriation.

Rockets, balloons, and satellites allowed entirely new ways to study Earth's atmosphere. In response, NSF sponsored research using these new technologies and was given the job of supervising government weather modification programs. Other large-scale projects of the era included graduate biological laboratories, facilities to study marine biology and oceanography, a deep-sea ocean drilling program, and a permanent program of fieldwork in Antarctica.

Congress also became more generous toward NSF's education account. In 1953, Congress funded the first two federally supported summer institutes for college teachers. Thanks largely to congressional appropriations, by 1957 the program had expanded, especially the institutes for high school teachers, to forty-one summer and academic year institutes. Still, some Board members regarded the institutes as diffuse in their mission and their benefits hard to measure.

Sputnik made clear the need to producing more scientists and engineers than were the Americans. NSF accelerated its funding of projects to upgrade high school and undergraduate course materials. Arguably, the new curriculum materials and teacher-training institutes can be regarded as high points in NSF's fifty-year effort to improve education.
