Cutting the Powerplant Cord, or At Least Loosening Its Grip
The decision to implement a photovoltaic system involves careful consideration of economic factors. While the initial costs can be substantial, solar power offers the potential for long-term savings, energy independence, and protection against rising electricity prices. This article explores the key financial aspects of going solar.

Arc Flash Safety: A Guide for the Proactive Electrical Professional
Winter will some day be over (it snowed here today… in Arkansas!) And
undoubtedly some of us will be slathering on the SPF-whatever to protect
us from the sun’s rays. Did you know that Old Sol is about 5,000
degrees on the surface?

Mini Power Centers: A Powerful Option for Electrical Professionals
In a world where electrical efficiency and streamlined design are of
primary concern, the mini power center is quickly becoming a staple
piece of equipment for electricians, general contractors, and electrical
industry experts. It's small, it's powerful, and it's reshaping the way
we manage electricity, on the jobsite and in the facilities we serve.

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).

Don’t Blow It: Why Solar Arrays Need Solar Fuses
It’s not unusual that solar photovoltaic (PV) systems would require
fuses – after all, these installations can carry substantial electrical
loads, so overcurrent protection is critical to their safe operation.
What is remarkable, though, are the conditions under which PV panels,
their conductors, and their wiring can operate.
