Know Your Conduit Options for Corrosive Applications
When it comes to metal conduit, the choice for electrical contractors
can often boil down to three options: galvanized steel, aluminum or
stainless steel. However, in particularly challenging environments,
stainless steel offers advantages the other two materials can’t match.

On the Mark: New Program Helps Assure Copper Products’ Sustainability
Copper wire can seem like a commodity – after all, it’s fabricated from
one of the world’s most heavily traded commodities and is sold in bulk
quantities all over the globe. And, like a lot of commodities, it can be

produced.

Whole Home Protection – SPDs
Today’s homes, no matter the date of construction, have one thing in
common. Scads of electronic devices populate our personal domiciles,
even those of us “old folks.”
When you think about it, there
aren’t too many appliances and pieces of equipment that aren’t
controlled by some sort of circuit board, or even computer-style mother
board.

The Importance of Ground Fault Protection in Industry
In the food processing plant where I cut my electrical teeth, there were

complained, even when no voltage was present).

Wax or Polymer – Understanding the Options with Cable Lubricants
Wire and cable pulling can be strenuous work, especially when distances
stretch several floors or more. Lubricants are an important part of this
process – they help reduce friction between cables and conduit, which,
in turn, reduces the risk of damage, wear and tear on cable insulators.
