Hot Diggity Dog!
By Paul Werthman

Hard to believe that July is right around the corner and that means that July 4th and Fireworks are on tap.

Looking Beyond NEMA and UL Markings When Specifying Enclosures
Chuck Ross

In the United States, we’re well aware of a number of marking schemes that indicate how products like enclosures will perform in particular settings.

There might also be a UL marking indicating a standard to which the product has been tested.
