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...

INSULATION RESISTANCE TEST

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...

A Comprehensive Look at BAS Enhanced Security and Safety

Building Automation Systems (BAS) have become a cornerstone of modern building management. Beyond their well-known energy-saving capabilities, BAS offer a range of security and safety benefits that contribute to a more secure and controlled environment for occupants. This article delves into the...

Biometric Access Control in Building Automation

Biometric access control systems use unique physical or behavioral characteristics, such as fingerprints or facial features, to verify individuals' identities. This technology has gained significant traction in building automation, particularly for entry and sensitive area authorization, promising...

Arc Flash Training

Arc Flash Study Data Collection Challenges

Arc flash studies are essential for assessing the risk and magnitude of arc flash hazards within electrical systems. However, collecting accurate and comprehensive data, a critical step in these studies, poses various challenges, particularly in facilities with older electrical systems and in those...

Selecting the Right Arc Flash PPE

Selecting the appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for arc flash hazards is a critical decision that affects the safety and well-being of electrical workers. The process involves matching PPE categories to the calculated incident energy levels of electrical tasks, considering the...
