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.

When All You Have is a Hammer…
Yeah, I’m sure you know the saying — “When all you have is a hammer,
everything looks like a nail.” And I’d imagine you probably chuckled,
just a little anyway. A friend of mine gave his small boy a hammer for
his birthday. And the kid beat on everything, all day long, when Tommy
was at work… including the gas meter in the yard.

The Bright Future of 3-D Printed Light Fixtures
The concept of 3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing,
initially surfaced in the 1980s, thanks largely to the innovative work
of engineer Chuck Hull. Hull invented a process called
'stereolithography', or SLA, a method that allowed for the creation of
3D models layer by layer, literally bringing ideas to life. It was a
revolutionary breakthrough that sparked the beginning of the 3D printing
era.

Guess What? Fuses Still Matter
Up until three years ago, I lived with a couple small boxes of spare
fuses that sat on top of the water heater in the basement, ready to be
drawn from should the rare combination of, say, the toaster and
microwave operating at the same time happen to shut down power to the
kitchen.
