Fighting Corrosion, One Connection at a Time
|
Chuck Ross
|
Electrical connections are sensitive things, and they can face numerous
challenges after years – or decades – of being hidden behind walls or
junction box covers. One such issue is corrosion, a type of oxidation
that causes conductors to deteriorate over time. As the conductors break
down, electrical resistance increases, which leads to rising
temperatures and an increased risk of equipment damage and fire.

Transitioning From Flexible to Rigid
|
Steve Maurer, IME
|
And I'm not talking about my danged old back (although that happened the
other day doing yard work). No, I'm talking about the inevitable
transition from flexible armored conduit to either a circuit panel or
rigid conduit.
If you've done any commercial or industrial
wiring, you know what I mean. Lighting runs are the worst.

Making New Connections with Streetlighting Upgrades
|
Chuck Ross
|
Streetlights are getting a lot of upgrades, these days. The
yellow-orange glow from the old-school high-intensity discharge fixtures
you might have grown up with is rapidly being replaced with
cleaner-looking – and significantly more efficient – LED illumination.
And municipalities also are taking advantage of increasingly affordable
intelligent-lighting features that allow them to remotely track fixture
outages and manage when lights are on at full power, half-power or off.
