Arc Flash Safety: A Guide for the Proactive Electrical Professional
Winter will some day be over (it snowed here today… in Arkansas!) And
undoubtedly some of us will be slathering on the SPF-whatever to protect
us from the sun’s rays. Did you know that Old Sol is about 5,000

Switchrack: What Specifiers Need to Know
Designing industrial facilities is rarely a paint-by-numbers effort

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

complained, even when no voltage was present).

Don’t Blow It: Why Solar Arrays Need Solar Fuses
It’s not unusual that solar photovoltaic (PV) systems would require
fuses – after all, these installations can carry substantial electrical
loads, so overcurrent protection is critical to their safe operation.
What is remarkable, though, are the conditions under which PV panels,
their conductors, and their wiring can operate.

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.
