If Your Electrical Equipment Can’t Stand the Heat, Give it Some Cooling

Chuck Ross

Enclosures play a vital role in protecting electrical installations – but they also pose challenges to that equipment’s safe operation.

When the Grid Goes Down … Keep On Going

Steve Maurer, IME

It happens. In part due to the aging electrical grid in the United States, the chances you'll lose power are highly probable. It's not just the grid, however. It seems that weather 'events' are on the increase as well.

So, What’s Your Floor Outlet’s Cover Story?

Chuck Ross

Electrical cover kits occupy a unique place in building design, addressing a need for functionality that doesn’t compromise style. Additionally, depending on where contractors are installing these devices, concerns about accessibility and the potential to create trip hazards also might need to be addressed.
