Founded in May 1964 By J.W. Kerr, Jim Wilson, President of Canada Electric and James Wilson President of the Canadian Electrical Contractors Association, Kerrwil Media Limited has grown into the oldest privately held publishing company in Canada.
Being a member of the industry first and publisher second has separated us from every competitor we have had. Leading the industry, challenging the status quo and building with a focused eye on the future is what has made Kerrwil a well-established and respected name in Canadian publishing community.
Kerrwil has been active in many industry associations including the Canadian Business Press – where both J.W. (Jack) Kerr and John Kerr served as Chairman. Kerrwil is an active member today with the Canadian Business Press, Magazines Canada, BPA Worldwide, and the Canadian Circulations Audit Board.
Kerrwil has nurtured its reputation for being the best we can at what we do. Understanding and meeting our advertisers’ expectations and providing new methods and solutions that generate above average returns is what we do in print, online, and on site.
While our mandate is to serve the industry first, decades of publishing expertise has led to establishing best practices in publishing in print and on line that dramatically separate us from the competition.
Today, we remain committed to the principles that have brought us this far:
- Ongoing investment in audited circulation
- Delivering editorial excellence and authority
- Actively support the industries we serve
- Setting the benchmark for best practices in publishing
- Researching, evaluating and sharing superior market knowledge
Kerrwil is your market resource.

Episode 1 - A-Z of Busbar
What are the advantages to using busbars in your panels?
The busbar is a very efficient part in the electrical panel that collects and transmits electrical energy as a conductor. This conductor can pass very large currents.
Busbar allows for:
- - Reductions in the use of space relative to the panel and enclosure (reduction in the amount of wiring). So, more equipment and parts can be used in a panel.
- - Easy troubleshooting in the event of switchgear interruption or failure.
- - Time savings during both installation, maintenance, or upgrades (ex.busbars are mostly used for branching inside panels, and, branching will be done by holes and bolts without using terminals).
- - Integration of supplemental panel or enclosure elements to enhance or augment performance
- - High electrical and mechanical strength. They last longer and don’t require regular replacement. They distribute power more efficiently. Thus, reducing energy consumption.
- - They’re also easily adaptable for renewable energy integration while offering extreme versatility for easy consumption for many purposes.

Your Weekly Product Questions Answered by Brady
How was the 10-year durability calculated?
Brady uses our own in-house weathering test equipment, we can simulate 10 years of outdoor exposure.
Robots are an integral part of the manufacturing industry worldwide to the extent that they are indispensable. In production, robots and cobots frequently encounter each other, working and interacting side by side with humans, but also performing tasks independently.
The latest industrial robots move in a three-dimensional space and can therefore perform a wide variety of tasks. In order to ensure optimum system performance, the use of a dress pack is required to keep a robot running as frequently as possible. Regional Sales Manager Gordon Post discusses some of the questions he hears in the field about robotic cable protection systems.

If you’re challenged with labor issues in your packaging and palletizing area, you’re not alone. These applications are often tedious and can lead to repetitive motion injuries. In a tight job market it’s especially difficult to fill jobs that people consider dull and strenuous. Now more than ever, companies are looking for automation solutions that will allow them to resolve labor issues and increase their flexibility to quickly adapt to market demands.
Can a cobot help your end-of-line operations? Here are a few areas to consider:
Case Erecting - Some companies have very limited space or they have "odd ball" box sizes that can’t be erected with a traditional case erector.

Manufacturers' data sheets often only give blanket information on efficiency and power losses of their power supplies at different mains voltages or loads. Therefore, it is advisable for users to measure the efficiency of a power supply themselves. In this blog article you will learn what you should pay attention to.
Multimeter, wattmeter, or power analyzer – which is the (measurement) tool of choice?
There are several measuring instruments which are used for the determination of efficiency. Nevertheless, the measurement tolerances and the capabilities of measuring instruments in measuring various signals (AC or DC) varies considerably.

Daisy chaining refers to a wiring scheme in which several devices, such as power supplies, are connected directly in series. This type of wiring is also referred to as "looping through". The English term “Daisy Chaining” is used colloquially, since the structure is vaguely reminiscent of a daisy chain. The principle can be used both to achieve a higher total current and to transmit analog signals or digital data.
If the wiring of a power supply system is planned according to this principle, it is not wired in a star configuration. Instead, the current is looped through to the load in a linear or ring-shaped manner on one line.
