Power Quality Training
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...
Correcting the misconceptions of ground testing BY JEFF JOWETT, Megger Ground resistance testing is sometimes described as an “art”, and indeed something can be said for that description. Familiarity with the basic issues and common problems, however, can take much of the “art” out of it...
Arc Flash Training
Implementing new arc flash safety innovations often requires significant changes in organizational practices and culture. Resistance to change is a common challenge that can hinder the successful adoption of these safety innovations, impacting the overall effectiveness of arc flash risk...
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
In modern buildings, the HVAC system is rarely an isolated entity. Building automation systems (BAS) integrate HVAC components with an array of sensors, controllers, and a central management platform — all connected through networks. This interconnectivity provides significant benefits in...
Building Automation Systems (BAS) offer significant advantages for lighting control within smart buildings. These systems can optimize energy efficiency, reduce operational costs, and potentially enhance occupant comfort through features like automated dimming and occupancy sensing. However,...
