Tom and Jack knocked on my door.They appeared so much the same. Jack asked for the estimator, but Tom called me by name. Jack asked if I had projects. He'd like to help me bid.

Making Safety a Permanent Part of Temporary-Power Products Chuck Ross 
Electrical contractors are used to thinking about ground-fault circuit
interrupters (GFCIs) in permanently installed outlets and panelboards,
but temporary-power settings also can require GFCI protection, according
to the National Fire Protection Association’s National Electrical Code
(NEC). For example, the NEC’s Article 590, which covers temporary power
installations, calls for GFCI protection for 15-, 20- and 30-amp, 125V
receptacle outlets that aren’t a part of the permanent wiring of a
building or structure used by personnel.
New Snap-On Liquid Tight Connectors Save Time and Money James R. Dukart 
Arlington Industries has introduced a new line of “snap-on” liquid tight
connectors for Type B conduit called its “SNAP2IT” line. The company
says the new connectors’ push-on application will save contractors time
and money as the liquid-tight fitting is made without needing to search
or reach around for tools or any additional fastener items.
Bringing Power to the Project Chuck Ross 
Single-outlet extension-style cords don’t always serve the purpose of
bringing power closer to the task at hand, especially when multiple
devices, such as a power tool and a handlamp, need to operate at the
same time. Portable outlet boxes can be the solution in these
situations, bringing electricity to where it’s needed, and there is a
range of options now on the market to address the requirements of
standard-duty, wet and hazardous locations.
Proper Flexible Cable Connector Selection Thomas & Betts 
Flexible-conductor cable, or flex cable, offers ease in maneuvering in
tight spaces, particularly with larger sizes. According to NEMA Bulletin
No. 105, mechanical set-screw connector lugs and terminals are not
intended for use with fine-stranded conductors, because the fine strands
break too easily from the stress of a mechanical connection. NEMA
recommends compression connectors for termination of fine-stranded
flexible conductor cable.
