Wireless Sensor Networks and the Impact on HVAC Monitoring

Traditional building automation systems have often relied on a relatively sparse network of wired sensors to monitor temperature, humidity, and perhaps a few other basic parameters. Wireless sensor networks are disrupting this model, enabling the deployment of far denser arrays of sensors,...

Life Safety & Security Systems: Balancing Sensitivity for Optimal Safety

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...

Arc Flash Training

Applications of Arc Quenching Devices

Arc quenching devices represent a significant advancement in electrical safety, designed to rapidly extinguish electrical arcs that can occur in power systems. These devices enhance safety and protect equipment by minimizing the duration and impact of arc flash incidents. Arc quenching devices...

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...

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...
