Building Automation Training
Behavioral analytics is an advanced technology that applies artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning algorithms to analyze patterns of human behavior. In the context of building automation, particularly in life safety and security systems, it represents a significant shift from...
Building automation holds the promise of enhanced security and streamlined operations through centralized management and intelligent coordination across various systems. However, many buildings face a significant hurdle: legacy security infrastructure. Often, essential systems like access control,...
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...
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...
Arc Flash Training
It may seem like a long time ago, but with respect to the age of the earth, electricity is in its infancy. When such famous names as Franklin, Edison, Tesla, and Volta were mesmerized by that “blue flame”, who could have imagined the unlimited potential (no pun intended). Electricity is...
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...
