Whole Home Protection – SPDs
Today’s homes, no matter the date of construction, have one thing in
common. Scads of electronic devices populate our personal domiciles,
even those of us “old folks.”
When you think about it, there
aren’t too many appliances and pieces of equipment that aren’t
controlled by some sort of circuit board, or even computer-style mother
board.

Switchrack: What Specifiers Need to Know
Designing industrial facilities is rarely a paint-by-numbers effort
because each plant faces unique considerations, based on what it’s
producing and the resulting safety and power requirements. That means
power distribution equipment also needs to be custom designed.

The Importance of Ground Fault Protection in Industry
In the food processing plant where I cut my electrical teeth, there were
ceiling drops for sticker guns to label bagged product. Some of the
workers complained about getting shocked off the stainless still bins
that held the product. Adding inline GFCIs helped (although some still
complained, even when no voltage was present).

Temporary Commercial Power Distribution
When working as an electrician in a processing plant, I was often called
in to work on renovations, new area construction, and emergency repair
scenarios. Often there wasn’t permanent power available, so temporary
power using extension cords was necessary to power up tools and
equipment for the job.

Wax or Polymer – Understanding the Options with Cable Lubricants
Wire and cable pulling can be strenuous work, especially when distances
stretch several floors or more. Lubricants are an important part of this
process – they help reduce friction between cables and conduit, which,
in turn, reduces the risk of damage, wear and tear on cable insulators.

Hazardous locations have stricter requirements for fixtures and
luminaires than other industrial areas. Hazardous locations include
those areas where flammable dusts, fumes, liquids and gases may be
present, either in storage or during processing.
