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.

LEDs for Hazardous Locations and … Mesh Lighting Control
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.

Today’s Power Cutters Help Labor-Stretched Contractors Do More with Less
Like companies in pretty much all the building trades these days,
electrical contracting firms are becoming increasingly stretched when it
comes to getting the staffing numbers in line with their needs.

LED Work Lighting Helps Contractors Get the Job Done
It truly amazes me how LEDs have transformed the lighting industry in
just a decade. In 2012, manufacturers introduced the first bulbs to
match the output of a standard 60W incandescent. They weren’t dimmable
and could cost $25 or more. Fast forward to 2023, and LEDs now dominate
the lighting market, and inexpensive replacement lamps can cost less
than $5 and last 10-20 years.

Prefabrication Adds Power to Electrical Contractors’ Installation Work
Electrical contracting is, by its nature, a bespoke profession – that
is, every installation features its own unique design quirks requiring
customization. At the same time, though, contractors also now are often
dealing with the need to do more with fewer workers. As a result,
prefabrication is becoming a bigger part of many companies’ operations.

Planning for Consumer Solar Energy Installations
Alternative energy sources— green, clean solar and wind power—certainly get a lot of “air time” of late. (Pun intended.)
Of
course, water power has been around a long time. And still is for power
generation on a large scale. But it’s not so convenient for single user
electrical supply, or even most municipalities.
