Missed something? New Year Special Edition

Special Edition – Happy New Year!

2012 was a great year for the Electrical Engineering Community:

• Nb of visits: 431 000
• Nb of page views: 810 000

The forum too has continued to grow very fast this year:

• Nb of topics: 752
• Nb of posts: 2584

And projects took some of our time:

• We have created the PowerFacAging calculator which has been used >2500 times.
• We have continued to add (whenever we found the time, we are are still lacking reactivity on this one) more and more electrical calculation tools shared by members in the sharing page , for members who are ready to share their own electrical calculations tools.
• We have created 2 Neswletters “special edition”, one related to Operator safety motor control center solutions review and another dedicated to Electrical Software.
