"Designed with superior resistance to water ingress. The devices also feature a smoother body that reduces debris build-up, and simplifies the cleaning process." Correct Answer: Hubbell Congratulations to OUR WINNERS:
Energy Savings Coming to an Outlet Near You Chuck Ross Energy-efficiency codes are becoming increasingly stringent. Significant energy-use reductions already have been achieved in lighting systems, with the elimination of many incandescent and low-efficiency fluorescent lamp options. Now, code authorities are beginning to take a closer look at plug loads – all those devices plugged into wall and office cubicle outlets. It’s estimated that plug loads are responsible for up to 25% of the energy used in commercial buildings. Mersen Adds to Photovoltaic Fuse Protection Line James R. Dukart As we move into the New Year, integrating renewables into the grid at both the generation and distribution network level is likely to become increasingly important. Also important will be accounting for the characteristics of dynamic and sometimes intermittent power supplies from photovoltaic (PV) or wind electrical generation. In order to address one of those characteristics, Mersen announced last year the introduction of a new UL 2579-listed photovoltaic fuse – the HP10J – to its existing HelioProtection® fuse line. Manufacturers Stepping Up to Meet New NEC AFCI/GFCI Requirements Chuck Ross Choosing an electrical receptacle or switch used to be so easy, because, basically, the options were focused on color – did you want white or ivory? But as the National Electrical Code (NEC) has advanced through the years, contractors have been required to pay closer attention to the protection those wiring devices might provide against electrocution or fires. Requirements under the 2011 and 2014 NEC have stepped up the need and/or guidelines for arc fault circuit interrupters (AFCI) and ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCI), and manufacturers have stepped up with new offerings to address the code updates. Molex Incorporated Safety For Wet Location Wiring Devices Woodhead® Watertite® Wet-Location Wiring Devices set the standard for the roughest, wettest and most abrasive environments and meet NEMA type 4, 4X, 6, 6P, IP65, IP66, and IP67 standards. Construction Innovations Bolt Star An innovative, reusable pole base template that securely holds the anchor bolts, rebar cage and conduits in place during the concrete pour. A real game changer when it comes to saving labor. Hubbell Wiring Systems CircuitLock Disconnect for Variable Frequency Drives Hubbell's Disconnect Switch for Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) prevents downtime from out of sequence equipment shutdowns.
