Putting People First In '15
By Bill Floyd

How often do we hear folks who've been around for a while comment on the world has become an edgier place. People don't seem to treat each other as nicely as they used to? Everything is bottom line. While there is truth in that opinion, there are obviously still lots of people we come into contact every day who extend themselves and do great things. But our 24/7, get-the-story (right or wrong) media too often uses its prism to focus on the worst among us. Does that skew reality? I think yes, but it also flavors it and nudges us all in less than positive directions.

This Month Features: The T&B Power Connection & Control


With the popularity of the Internet, the world has changed. SMART eCAT is now one new important way.  Each month we will feature a new manufacturer’s electronic SMART eCAT that will show how looking up products and using manufacturer’s catalogs have never been easier. This “eCatalog Collection” now also appears on our distributor partner and manufacturer rep’s websites as well. We encourage you to look for these there and deal with the companies with which you already have close relationships and work hard to serve your everyday needs.

Capacitors- An Overlooked Energy Cost Savings
Peter Walsh, PE

Energy cost savings can come in overlooked options. Most of the publicity is about rebate programs and cutting the use of electric power. But many utilities have surcharges for low power factor. With capacitors these surcharges can be reduced.





Load Centers
James R. Dukart

The proliferation of electronic devices in residential and commercial settings only heightens the need and demand for load centers to handle and distribute incoming power.

Siemens offers a complete range of load centers, starting with its feature-rich PL Series, fully convertible from main lug to main breaker and vice-versa.





Energy Cost Savings with Automatic Capacitors
Peter Walsh, PE

Automatic capacitor banks can reduce the monthly electric utility costs by improving the power factor. Many utility bills do not display directly the charge for low power factor. They often bundle the cost in with the “Demand Charges.” Manufacturers of automatic capacitors have technical support departments that can interpret the utility bills and provide return on investment information.
