Hobbies

  • Travelling, Research, Reading
    I have been able to get to the root of an issue relating to non display of self powered relay employing my hobbies of reading and research. Many customers have been complaing about this particular Micom P124 relays not displaying etc. I only spent a few days on the manual and internet resources. Now, I am a master on this relay and was also able to pass this knowledge to my colleagues as well.
