Here's how NEC 2020 and the 2021 IBC to explain when emergency and standby systems are used to provide alternate power supply for commercial fire and life safety systems.
Electric vehicle batteries that are repurposed for use in new applications generally undertake a three-step process.
Some actions can make the residential, commercial, and even larger PV systems more resilient and robust under the impending threat of more frequent severe weather.
Renewed focus on safety can help make a difference in reducing electrically related deaths, injuries, and property losses. All workers must understand that every work environment presents different electrical hazards and learn how to prevent them.
Let's focus our attention on specific performance goals of initiating devices used for fire and life safety and why understanding and knowing the devices can improve your awareness when working with fire alarm systems.
Q. I have a question on a luminaire cut sheet that indicates the luminaire (LED disc light) conforms with UL 1598 and is allowed in clothes closets. How do I know if the luminaire is suitable to be installed in the clothes closet storage space?
The month of May is National Electrical Safety Month, an initiative sponsored by Electrical Safety Foundation International.
Learn about the most important features in arc-flash relay technology to select the best relay for their application.
As appliance and HVAC system efficiencies increase, load-side PV connections associated with smaller PV systems will be with us in great numbers.
Electrical equipment can play an important role in minimizing arc flash hazards. The type of equipment specified, and where in an electrical system it’s installed, can significantly reduce the duration and threat of an arc flash incident.
