This Issue's Question: Who's new 70- to 100-Ampere CUBEFuse™ "Delivers J Performance in Smallest Footprints"? A New Option for Residential Generator Switches Peter Walsh, PE Many people are interested in a generator when there is a power outage. But their need is immediate, so installing a permanent automatic home standby generator isn’t always an option. The construction delay of automatic units leaves customers with only portable options for instant power. A portable generator only requires cords, and can therefore restore power immediately. It has to be manually started and fueled with gasoline. The portable option is often a temporary solution until the automatic unit construction is completed. New Occupancy Sensors Address Energy Code Requirements Chuck Ross As a major contributor to a building’s electricity demand, lighting systems are the target of an increasing number of energy codes across the United States. For example, the 2013 edition of the California Energy Commission’s influential Title 24 guidelines outline a range of new requirements for controlling both ambient- and task-lighting loads when spaces aren’t occupied. Generator Innovations Change the Game Peter Walsh, PE When utility power is down, customers with a generator see tremendous value in their investment. Alternative power is most commonly by the way of an automatic home standby generator. New generator technologies are changing the game. The shaft speed is reduced to improve fuel efficiency.
