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
difficult to know how the copper products you’re buying is actually
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.

LED Lamps – Energy Saving Replacements
I’ll make no bones about it. LEDs are the light of my life. Okay, maybe
that’s going just a bit far … but not much. If you want to find an
incandescent or fluorescent lamp in my house, you’re going to have to
look hard. I think I may have a few C7s left to replace. But only
because they’re hard to get to.

How Manufacturers are Bringing Basic Breaker Boxes into the Digital Age
Three years ago, I decided to finally bring my home into the modern age,
in terms of its electrical distribution system. Gone was the
50-plus-year-old, 60-amp fuse box (yes, I said “fuse box”), along with
the similarly low-capacity line from the pole to the house. In their
place, a new 200-amp service line and breaker panel.

Switchrack: What Specifiers Need to Know
Designing industrial facilities is rarely a paint-by-numbers effort
because each plant faces unique considerations, based on what it’s
producing and the resulting safety and power requirements. That means
power distribution equipment also needs to be custom designed.

Look Beyond Lumens per Watt for Even More LED Energy Savings
In just a little more than a decade, LED lighting systems have moved
from a not-quite-yet-there technology to one that essentially owns the
market, especially in commercial applications. With efficacy ratings
that now surpass those of once-dominant fluorescent fixtures, LEDs also
can operate for years before needing replacement, versus months for
fluorescent tubes.
