Acenti TM Collection Wins World-Acclaimed IDEA Award for Best New Product Designs of 2005

Leviton’s Acenti TM Collection was among an elite group of winners to earn this year’s highly coveted, world-renowned Industrial Design Excellence Award (IDEA). The devices earned a Silver Level Award. Co-sponsored by BusinessWeek magazine and the Industrial Designers Society of America (IDSA), the awards represent a celebration of the best and hottest product designs of the year. Winners will be featured in Business Week’s IDEA report.

The Acenti Collection includes a variety of dimmers that sport a simple, intuitive control scheme, signature blue LED locator light and push pad that is easy to operate. Dimmers and switches also feature a “return-to-neutral position” design that creates a clean, uniform look when switches or dimmers are installed in multi-gang applications. Acenti’s unique wallplate design eliminates the webbing between each device, creating a sleek, minimalist look.

Earlier in the year, a Wall Street Journal reporter cited Acenti’s Triplex Receptacle, an innovative three-outlet receptacle that accepts bulky-style transformer plugs, as one of the brightest stars of the International Builders Show.

New Megger® MMC850 Digital Clamp Meter Eliminates Unnecessary Work

The unique design of the new Megger MMC850 Multi-core AC digital clamp meter offers the ability to split cable, remove panels or open outlet boxes to access single conductors. The instrument also measures current in single conductors and makes it unnecessary to carry multiple clamp meters.

With a backlit display and a durable, lightweight clamphead, the instrument makes it easy to access awkward locations and cables. The inner jaw clamp also centralizes cables to ensure the most accurate test possible. A contoured design gives users a comfortable grip with a positive finger guard.

The MMC850 is suitable for supply frequencies from 45Hz to 400Hz, has a battery life of about 180 hours, meets the requirements of IEC 1010-2-032, Cat III 600 V, and is rated as safe for connection and disconnection to live conductors.
