Power Quality Training
Guidance for calculation of efficiency in data centers BY VICTOR AVELAR, Schneider Electric The benefits of determining data center infrastructure efficiency as part of an effective energy management plan are widely recognized. The standard metrics of power usage effectiveness (PUE) and its...
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...
Arc Flash Training
Arc flash hazard analysis is a critical safety requirement in managing electrical risks in the workplace. It involves a systematic study to identify potential arc flash hazards and implement safety measures to protect workers and equipment. Compliance with standards like NFPA 70E and IEEE 1584 is...
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...
