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...
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...
Building Automation Training
Building Automation Systems (BAS) have revolutionized how we manage buildings, optimizing energy consumption and improving occupant comfort. However, with a growing focus on sustainability, BAS are evolving to integrate with renewable energy sources, paving the way for a more environmentally...
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,...

The Complexities of Arc Flash Compliance
Introduction to Arc Flash Safety Compliance
Compliance with arc flash safety regulations is a critical concern for organizations operating in environments where electrical hazards are present. These regulations, designed to protect workers from the...
Arc flash incidents pose a constant threat to the safety of workers interacting with electrical systems. Conducting a comprehensive arc flash hazard analysis is a fundamental step in mitigating these hazards. However, this analysis is far from simplistic; electrical engineers and safety...
