Optimizing Energy Consumption with Demand Response

Building Automation Systems (BAS) play a crucial role in optimizing energy consumption within buildings. However, BAS can extend their reach beyond individual buildings and contribute to the stability and efficiency of the entire power grid. This is achieved through Demand Response (DR) programs,...

Overcoming the 'Automation Paradox' in Smart Lighting Systems

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,...

Advances and Limitations in Arc Flash Safety

Remote operation technologies, such as remote racking, diagnostic, and equipment control solutions, have become pivotal in enhancing arc flash safety in electrical systems. These innovations allow personnel to operate and monitor electrical equipment from a safe distance, reducing the risk of arc...

Arc Flash Mitigation in LV Systems

A common misconception within the electrical industry is that low-voltage systems (typically operating at 600V or lower) pose a lesser arc flash risk than their higher voltage counterparts. While the potential incident energy may be lower in some cases, underestimating the hazards present in...

The Art of Ground Testing

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...

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...
