Q. What CHINT is advancing to the future of Industrial automation?
CHINT Response: CHINT automation solution is packed with analog and digital I/O in a compact package. Its powerful processor provides fast I/O handling and logic control. It is a market-proved advanced product and widely used in various industrial process automation and machinery in water treatment, petrochemical, power station, heating, metallurgy, etc. This can increase reliability, system stability and performance, minimizing the need for human operators and the chances of human error.
 
Q. According to you, how Automation is rising in India and how it will impact the future in a positive way?
CHINT Response: Automation is the need of the hour in today’s fastest-growing business in India. As more companies adopt automation technology, they can streamline their processes and reduce the time required for manual labour. This will result in faster production times, higher quality products, and ultimately greater profitability.
Automation is seen as a major factor in India’s economic development. The country is currently at the forefront of technology and innovation, with several industries & infrastructure projects are being increasingly automated. On a long term basis, automation helps human race in reducing the repetitive type work and concentrate more on the creative jobs to add more value in the developing industrial revolutions.
 
Q. Which new model have you launched in circuit breaker? What are the key features of the new model?
CHINT Response: CHINT has always been committed to providing customers with superior products and solutions. To meet the customers, demand for higher performance in photovoltaic power generation and energy storage application, NM8N HV series moulded case circuit breaker have been developed which can operate up to rated voltage of 1150V AC with a maximum insulation voltage up to 1250V AC. With double make & break mechanism, NM8N HV can reliably protect electrical circuit systems by eliminating the occurrence of short-circuit currents within the system. The ultimate short-circuit breaking capacity of this Product is 50kA at AC800V. NM8N HV series has been made the design of the arc extinguishing system more effectively. The complete specification of the Product can realize the breaking of circuit system with zero arcing with compact installation space of cabinet.
