Zinc: The Industrial Shield with Growing Green Relevance

Zinc has been known for millennia, primarily as a component in brass, but isolating it in pure form took time. It wasn't until the 12th or 13th century in India that zinc was produced in significant quantities. In Europe, large-scale production only began centuries later. The industrial revolution propelled zinc into mainstream use, particularly in galvanization — coating iron and steel to prevent rust and extend product life.

ETI celebrates 75 years with unforgettable sports games

The year 2025 is very special for ETI – we are celebrating our 75^th anniversary. On this important anniversary, we organized sports games on Saturday, June 14, 2025, which brought together employees from different parts of the ETI Group in the spirit of sports, networking and celebration.

Copper - The Backbone of Electrification and Green Transition

Copper has accompanied humanity from its earliest civilizations to today’s digital and energy revolution. First used around 8000 BC for ornaments and coins, copper became essential when early societies learned to extract it from ore. This development led to the creation of bronze around 3000 BC and marked the beginning of the Bronze Age.

Selectivity of Protection in Electrical Installations: NH Fuse-Link vs. Miniature Circuit Breaker

The selectivity of protective devices is a crucial consideration when designing low-voltage installations. The goal of selectivity is to minimize the consequences of a fault. Only the faulty part of the installation should be disconnected, while the rest remains operational. Selectivity is achieved if the fault is cleared by the protective device closest to the fault without triggering other protective devices.

Advanced Assembly Equipment Improves Efficiency and Quality in FI Relay Production

At ETI, we're continuously driving innovation to enhance the precision, efficiency, and reliability of our production processes. One of our most recent achievements in this journey is the new assembly and welding machine for magnetic systems used in FI relays—a solution that brings us closer to a smarter, more controlled manufacturing future. This project has also been awarded a national award for innovation from Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Slovenia.

Fuse Protection for Battery Storage and UPS Systems: A Technical Guide

Modern energy systems—combining battery storage, rectifiers, inverters, and bypass circuits—are at the heart of the global transition to sustainable, reliable power. In this blog, we explore where and why these systems are used, their key advantages, and the critical role of gS and gBat fuses. We’ll also compare these advanced fuse types with other options, providing technical insights for electrical engineers.

Corporate Responsibility in Resource Management – The Key to Sustainable Business

With natural resources under increasing pressure and demand showing no signs of slowing down, companies must rethink how they source, use, and conserve materials. In an era defined by environmental challenges, supply chain disruptions, and shifting consumer expectations, responsible resource management is no longer just a moral imperative – it's a strategic necessity for long-term business success.

This guide outlines the full installation process, from prep to testing. Whether you're upgrading an existing panel or setting up a new system, proper installation ensures reliable performance and seamless integration with your control setup. Let’s walk through each step to get it done right.

How the Shortage of Critical Raw Materials Affects Our Society

Imagine a world without nickel, copper, or silver. No electric vehicles. No smartphones. No renewable energy infrastructure. Without these essential raw materials, the development of modern technology and sustainable energy systems would come to a halt. These materials power our daily lives and industries—yet many of them are becoming harder to source, making the issue of critical raw materials one of the defining challenges of our time.

Installing Motor Operator on the ETIBREAK NBS MCCBs

In this blog, we’ll walk you through the installation and basic operation of the motor operator for ETIBREAK NBS moulded case circuit breakers (MCCBs). This accessory is designed to enhance control and convenience by enabling remote switching of the MCCB—both turning it ON and OFF—from a distance.
