Understanding Arc Flash Hazard Analysis

Arc flash incidents pose a significant risk in electrical environments, where a sudden discharge of electrical energy through the air can cause severe injury, equipment damage, and even fatalities. Arc flash hazard analysis is a systematic approach to assessing these risks, defining safety...

Data Inaccuracies in Arc Flash Analysis

Arc flash hazard analysis serves as a vital risk assessment tool, guiding decisions on protective equipment, safety protocols, and system design. However, the reliability of this analysis hinges on the accuracy and completeness of the underlying electrical system data. Outdated information, missing...

INSULATION RESISTANCE TEST

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...

Electrical Grounding and the Weather

How resistance testing is affected by the elements BY JEFF JOWETT, Megger Ground resistance testing is affected by the weather as much as any common electrical test—and sometimes even more so. Both the instrument and the test item are affected. With ground resistance testing, the test item is not...

Optimizing User Behavior for BAS-Driven Energy Management

Building Automation Systems (BAS) offer a powerful tool for optimizing energy consumption in buildings. However, achieving maximum energy savings often hinges on a factor beyond the control of BAS systems themselves: occupant behavior. This article explores the challenges associated with occupant...

The Internet of Things Revolution: Integrating Smart Devices with BAS

Building Automation Systems (BAS) have transformed building management, offering centralized control and automation of various building functions like HVAC, lighting, and security. However, the emergence of the Internet of Things (IoT) presents exciting new opportunities for BAS. By integrating...
