Pay by Experience Level for Project Engineer, Energy and Utility
Of those surveyed, salary for Project Engineers increased $44,000 by the 20-year mark.
Survey Documents Cost to Contractors of Payment Delays
Although slow payments are part of business as usual within the commercial construction industry, they are more pervasive and more costly than expected, according to results of a survey of U.S. construction subcontractors. This has cost consequences for the entire industry.
Dimming Curves, Part 1
All dimmers are created equal, right? Wrong! All drivers are created equal, right? Wrong! It’s not sufficient to say that you want fixtures to be “dimmable.” There have always been variations in how different dimmers work, and fluorescent ballasts, and more recently LED drivers.

Maximizing Surge Protection Safety
Surge protection devices (SPDs) play a critical role in guarding sensitive electrical equipment from the destructive effects of power transients, but servicing them safely without impacting critical operations has traditionally been difficult. Now a new generation ofSPDs with sophisticated safety functionality is helping organizationsaddress that longstanding limitation. This white paper explains howthe latest SPDs empower companies to maximize surge protectionwithout endangering technicians, and outlines critical features to lookfor when evaluating these new and advanced devices.
