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...
Traditionally, HVAC systems within the context of building automation have focused primarily on temperature control for occupant comfort. However, the growing awareness of the profound impact of indoor air quality (IAQ) on health, well-being, and cognitive performance is driving an increased...
Power Quality Training
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...
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
Arc flash safety is traditionally associated with industrial and manufacturing settings, but the risks and implications extend far beyond these environments. Innovations in arc-resistant equipment are now enhancing safety in sectors like healthcare and information technology, particularly in data...
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...
