Arc Flash Training
Arc flash safety is traditionally associated with industrial and manufacturing settings, but the risks and implications extend far beyond these environments. Innovations in arc-resistant equipment are now enhancing safety in sectors like healthcare and information technology, particularly in data...
Maximizing safety and minimizing downtime
BY MAURICE D’MELLO, GE Industrial Solutions
A generation ago, an arc flash hazard was an interesting tangent to consider in electrical system design, but not a major topic for discussion. That all changed with the Canadian Standard...
Building Automation Training
Building automation holds the promise of enhanced security and streamlined operations through centralized management and intelligent coordination across various systems. However, many buildings face a significant hurdle: legacy security infrastructure. Often, essential systems like access control,...
Life Safety & Security Systems: Balancing Sensitivity for Optimal Safety
Automated life safety systems, seamlessly integrated within a building automation system (BAS), promise vast improvements in emergency detection and response. However, achieving optimal safety depends on striking the...
Power Quality Training
Insulation Resistance (IR) test, often called Megger test, is more than 100 years old and assumed to be a very straightforward test. During my inspection and testing work in the past 15 years in Canada, US, and internationally, I have seen different practices of performing and interpretation of IR...
