Look, Ma, No Wires – and a New Business Opportunity
Lighting without wires – that’s the promise solar-powered security
lighting offers homeowners. If you’re an electrical contractor, you
might see that lack of wires as a threat to your installation business –
after all, if there aren’t any wires, why would customers turn to you
for help?

The Importance of Ground Fault Protection in Industry
In the food processing plant where I cut my electrical teeth, there were
ceiling drops for sticker guns to label bagged product. Some of the
workers complained about getting shocked off the stainless still bins
that held the product. Adding inline GFCIs helped (although some still
complained, even when no voltage was present).

Temporary Commercial Power Distribution
When working as an electrician in a processing plant, I was often called
in to work on renovations, new area construction, and emergency repair
scenarios. Often there wasn’t permanent power available, so temporary
power using extension cords was necessary to power up tools and
equipment for the job.

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.

Prefabrication Adds Power to Electrical Contractors’ Installation Work
Electrical contracting is, by its nature, a bespoke profession – that
is, every installation features its own unique design quirks requiring
customization. At the same time, though, contractors also now are often
dealing with the need to do more with fewer workers. As a result,
prefabrication is becoming a bigger part of many companies’ operations.
