A transformer is a part of a circuit or a feeder and that a continuous load connected to a transformer cannot exceed the rating of the circuit in which such a transformer is inserted.
AHJs are the acute eyes in the field to identify products that appear to be non-conforming or potentially dangerous to the community. They are a vital resource to Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratories (NRTLs) in keeping our communities as safe as possible.
That’s an informal way of stating that the clearances set forth in the National Electrical Safety Code® (NESC®) provide a basis for ensuring worker and public safety, as well as serving as a basis for settling legal and other types of disputes.
Expanding the IAEI membership base is the best way to grow and sustain IAEI as an organization. With its rich history of keeping the public safe from electrical hazards, the IAEI can continue in that direction through recruiting non-electrical inspector members who work in the electrical field.
While decorations and light contribute to the spectacle of the season, it is critical to use these objects safely to reduce the risk of fires and electrical injuries.
Article 517 contains requirements to safeguard people and property from the hazards that electricity presents, but it also contains requirements for meeting the demand on the electrical system in a healthcare type occupancy.
PV disconnects provide a means to separate various portions of a circuit or equipment from other portions of the circuit or equipment in the same system.
Why is PV rapid shutdown so important? What is the difference between PV rapid shutdown equipment (PVRSE) and a PV rapid shutdown system (PVRSS)?
In response to the challenges of safely installing 5G antennas on vertical assets in different jurisdictions across the country, the National Electrical Safety Code® (NESC®), published by the IEEE Standards Association, relies on decades of experience and established guidelines to achieve its mandate.
Field evaluations offer the electrical industry an opportunity to quickly solve problems with unlabeled equipment in the field. With an understanding of how they are properly executed and good communication between all parties involved, the AHJ and the field evaluation body can work together to promptly address compliance issues in the field.
