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...

Power Usage Effectiveness in Data Centers

Guidance for calculation of efficiency in data centers BY VICTOR AVELAR, Schneider Electric The benefits of determining data center infrastructure efficiency as part of an effective energy management plan are widely recognized. The standard metrics of power usage effectiveness (PUE) and its...

The Impact of Incorrect PPE Usage

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is a critical line of defense in protecting workers from the dangers of arc flash incidents. These incidents, characterized by intense bursts of energy caused by an electrical fault, can result in severe injury or death. Therefore, using the correct PPE, properly...

Arc Flash Study Data Collection Challenges

Arc flash studies are essential for assessing the risk and magnitude of arc flash hazards within electrical systems. However, collecting accurate and comprehensive data, a critical step in these studies, poses various challenges, particularly in facilities with older electrical systems and in those...
