Manufacturers Bringing Bright Ideas to New Flashlights
Flashlights used to be just, well, flashlights – handy tools for
bringing a little illumination to whatever task was at hand. They also
could be a little undependable in the old days. Battery strength was
always a question, especially if they hadn’t been used in a while.

Less Work to Meet Safety Requirements
Some facilities are changing their requirements for motor and appliance
installations. This could be due to OSHA Lock-out and Tag-out
requirements or NFPA 70E. The change is toward using pin and sleeve
devices instead of having a hard-wired installation.
Safety requirements often have the maintenance person checking for the
absence of voltage before touching. The rules are quite specific and are
enforced by OSHA.

Bonding vs. Grounding: A Primer
Bonding and grounding are simple concepts, but, unfortunately, they’re
also easily confused with each other. Definitions of one term often get
wrapped up in the definitions of the other, and, before long, one can
begin thinking the words are interchangeable.
“Grounding” refers to the creation of a path from electrical equipment
to the earth. It is intended to protect equipment and help prevent fires
that might occur due to high voltages resulting from lightning strikes,
line surges or unintended contact with higher-voltage lines.

Data centers should also be highly adaptable.
