How students and startups turn a concept into a working prototype — locally, without importing a factory.

Power systems
Isolate one phase, not the whole transformer

Isolate one phase, not the whole transformer

Why NestX builds protection that drops only the faulty phase — and keeps the hospital’s lights on.

Power systems
Predicting the overload before you switch

Predicting the overload before you switch

Voltage-only phase selectors can move a load straight into a new overload. Here’s how we switch smarter.
