Going Underground: Wire Management in Direct Burial Projects
Not all wiring is created equal – after all, some of it has to be buried
underground. While this cable might not see the varied weather exposure
of unburied, outdoor lines, it faces its own unique challenges.

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.

LED Lamps – Energy Saving Replacements
I’ll make no bones about it. LEDs are the light of my life. Okay, maybe
that’s going just a bit far … but not much. If you want to find an
incandescent or fluorescent lamp in my house, you’re going to have to
look hard. I think I may have a few C7s left to replace. But only
because they’re hard to get to.

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.

Tech Woes Not Slowing Market for Data Centers and Their Conduit
If you’ve been following business headlines (or your 401K’s monthly
statements), you’ve likely heard about a lot of layoffs and other
cost-cutting measures at some of the biggest tech companies. After
flying high during the pandemic, when many of us were living significant
parts of our lives online, these firms are finding they might have been
overly optimistic that the growth would continue once Covid’s worst
days had passed.
