Many DC electrical measurement products manufactured by Knick contain universal, also known as broad-range, power supplies. This means that they will work over a relatively large voltage window, for example 20…253 V, AC or DC.
Knick Interface is excited to announce that we have recently expanded our footprint in North America, in an effort to better assist with our customers’ electrical measurement applications. This has been achieved through four partnerships established with high-quality manufacturer representatives in Canada.
Photovoltaic (PV) array degradation is an important aspect to consider for system design and installation. Over time, factors such as weather and UV exposure contribute to solar cell performance decline. By better understanding degradation effects and contributors, safeguards and technology enhancements can potentially be considered for performance improvements.
With the ARD 170, Knick Elektronische Messgeräte GmbH & Co. KG is launching a high-quality immersion fitting for mobile measurements of pH, conductivity and dissolved oxygen. During the design, particular attention was paid to the simple and flexible handling.
With the immersion fittings ARD 50 EL and ARD 75 EL, Knick Elektronische Messgeräte GmbH & Co. KG is expanding its portfolio of fittings for liquid analysis with additional electrically conductive (EL) variants. The two industrial fittings have a modular structure and enable a wide selection of application-specific sensors.
Voltage and current transducers from Knick bring true control to electrical measurement applications across a wide-range of industries.
Transformers have long been considered important components within electrical systems. When a need arises to step voltage in a circuit either up or down for purposes of power transmission or distribution, there is no doubt that these devices are essential.
As electrification becomes more prevalent across many different classes and types of vehicles, the technology that drives its backbone of systems and components continues to advance. This is especially true with batteries, where gains in efficiency, size, charge time, and capacity seem to be ever moving.
Knick Elektronische Messgeräte is launching the Stratos Multi, the next generation in its Stratos analyzer product line. The Stratos Multi features smart diagnostics management: now for the first time, all parameters used by commercially available sensors can be read and processed via a transmitter.
As a further milestone in strengthening international markets, Knick Elektronische Messgeräte GmbH & Co. KG founded the subsidiary Knick Schweiz AG on 20 March 2020 with operational headquarters in Zofingen. Christoph Häberli from Switzerland was appointed Managing Director.
How time flies. Already it is December and another year draws to an end. Here at Knick, 2019 has been year full of changes. Read on if you want to know what has been happening behind the scenes, as once again, we are looking back over the past 12 months.
Applications for DC electrical transducers are encountered often within the rail industry for measurement purposes. They are prevalent on both rolling stock and substation equipment dedicated to traction power. Information afforded by voltage and current measurements is often used for control, safety, and data collection.
Do you want to know how digital data capture and data storage works in modern liquids analysis? Do you have unanswered questions about the smart contactless technology of Memosens sensors? Help is at hand because the answers to these questions can be found on the Memosens Academy website…
Critical electrical measurement applications found within the rail transit industry require equipment that can keep up with the demands seen. Safety, precision, speed, and ease of use, are all important factors to consider when making component selection. Depending on the application, different factors might weigh heavier than others.
There are many systems where measurement of large DC currents are needed for performance and safety. Two examples are static excitation and rail traction power. These current measurements are often made by one of two main principles: shunt resistor with mV transducer or Hall effect feed-through sensor.
It is estimated that every year on average about eight million metric tons of plastic end up in our world oceans. Most of it is being swept into the sea directly from land sources via estuaries.
“Our company is relatively new to the North American market. We opened our doors for business last April. Knick Interface was founded to bring Knick’s electrical interface technologies to the Northern American market; especially for customers that would see value with measurement or isolation of high voltages or have application…
Seven exhibitions, newly renovated offices and a special one-year anniversary – 2018 turned out to be an eventful and successful year here at Knick Elektronische Messgeräte in Berlin. We look back and remember the most important events of the past 12 months.
The reliable detection of short circuits and the proper handling of signal transmissions is not only important for smooth rail operations, but also for the safety of employees and passengers.
Failure of equipment on the plant floor can lead to considerable and costly disruption. For operators of power generation facilities, transport systems, chemical, pharmaceutical and other production plants, a continuous and reliable operation is of the utmost importance. Failures of components can put a halt to important processes, costing both…
We are proud to announce our partnership with United Controls International (UCI). UCI has a long tradition of delivering relevant solutions for safe and efficient nuclear power plant operations globally.
Sensors as the direct interface to the process must be exactly matched to the chemistry of the measured medium and to the prevailing pressure and temperature conditions.
When using conventional retractable fittings to measure pH values in applications such as in wastewater treatment, flue gas desulfurization plants, chlorine production and dye synthesis, usually the O-rings for process sealing cannot withstand the extreme chemical and mechanical loads involved over a longer period. But O-ring blockages can be avoided…
It is pretty universally agreed upon that electro-technical products, used in critical or dangerous applications, pose no danger, themselves. There are, however, different assessments and approaches to reach an adequate level of safety. Users and manufacturers of such products are typically on the “safe” side, if they comply with recognized…

Florian Koppe works as a Sales Engineer at Knick in the Sales Department and tells us why he chose Knick and what his working day looks like:
The requirements placed on railway vehicles have increased significantly in recent years. Products for rolling stock need to ensure a higher level of functional safety than ever before to make the travel experience more comfortable, safer and reliable for the end user – the railway customers. New technologies must be developed…
The P27000 is a Universal Isolation Amplifier that offers the ability to take non-standard output signals produced by devices such as shunt resistors, batteries, and current transducers and convert them to the more standard units and ranges typically needed by PLCs and DCS systems.
There are numerous features that make the P50000 series of high-voltage and current transducers a great choice for deployment within critical rail systems. What are they?
Voltages have long been monitored as a key component of automation and control. But today, with the continued emergence of IIoT concepts, there is also increased awareness of the value of the data as it relates to both predictive maintenance and power consumption optimization.
