To borrow a volleyball term, there are indeed the “setters,” a trend toward the use of the 1,000 V direct current systems which hold the key to the reduction in cost of the junction boxes and to improvement in electric power generation efficiency which are attracting note. European companies such as ABB and Japan Weidmüller, were taking the lead and releasing products capable of handling this. This spring, however, the largest manufacturer in Japan, Nitto Kogyo, began steadily to mount a full scale counter attack. The long standing manufacturers Kawamura Electric and Energy Management Engineering have announced that they would be putting new products on the market before the year is out. All of this indicates that a tough fight is on the way in the market for industrial use.
