Throwback to the days before calculators — this vintage slide rule was once the go-to tool for engineers and electricians. No batteries, no screens… just pure analogue precision.

Found a bunch of these in Dad's bottom drawer, a reminder of the brainpower that built the foundations of our industry.

Got an old-school tool lying around? We’d love to see it!

📢 Quick tip - bought 3ph equipment from overseas? If your equipment can be wired directly into its country of origin’s supply, an autotransformer may be the right choice, saving you thousands of dollars. But if isolation is needed, an isolation transformer is essential. The right transformer can impact efficiency and safety.

Did you know that for every 10°C hotter a transformer runs, the life expectancy decreases by half!?
For transformers, operating temperature is critical.

Understanding this can be the difference between having a reliable transformer operating comfortably for decades... or having a transformer fail, needing replacement and risking further equipment damage, and the safety of your team or others.

For us at SES, transformer performance is more than just meeting AS standards—it’s about exceeding them.
We design transformers to run conservatively, ensuring your unit will last for a long, long time.

Temperature rise is one of the most critical factors affecting the lifespan of a transformer. For every 10°C less in operation, its life expectancy doubles.
