With 30 million battery electric vehicles to be in use worldwide by 2025, smart charging solutions have become an enormous investment opportunity.

Nationally, new house prices rose 0.2% in June, curbed by a pause in new house price rises in Southern Ontario and down from a 0.8% increase in April and a 0.7% gain in May.
A key component of any electronic or electrical system is the cable assembly/cable harness, yet it typically is one of the last components to be addressed. When designing a system the cable assembly should be addressed as early in the design stage as possible to allow for the best design to be specified for the application at hand. Many components will be involved in the assembly design, and each component will have an impact on the performance of the finished cable assembly or wire harness. If an assembly that is either over-designed or under-designed is used, there will be negative consequences of the performance of the finished system.
In this second of a two-part series, we continue discussing options to consider when designing a cable assembly or wire harness, such as the best materials to use to meet the expectations of the assembly installation, the proper termination method for the type of signal that will be transmitted over the assembly, and what safety certifications the assembly will need to comply with based on the environment. Here in Part 2: conductor twisting/cabling, shielding, outer sheaths, connectors/strain reliefs, and safety certification.
Average wages for experienced Canadian electrical contractors plateau at roughly $80,000 annually.
Canadian municipalities issued $8.1 billion worth of building permits in June, up 2.5% from May and the second highest value on record. Higher construction intentions for multi-family dwellings and commercial buildings were mainly responsible for the national increase. All building components reported gains in June, except for single-family dwellings. The total value of building permits rose in six provinces in June, led by Quebec and Manitoba. Month-to-month changes by jurisdiction are captured in the chart.
Mike Marsh, President and CEO of SaskPower, has been a leading figure in Saskatchewan’s electricity industry for almost 25 years. Joining SaskPower in 1991, Mike began his career in engineering and maintenance. He spent the next two decades playing a key role across a number of business functions, taking the helm as President and CEO in 2014. During Electricity Human Resources Canada’s most recent awards ceremony, then-board chair Norm Fraser described Mike as “a great leader with a fair and amicable way of engaging with people, having strong labour relations skills from years of experience at the bargaining table. As a proponent of health and safety, Mike possesses the necessary experience to support and lead the industry forward.” These comments formed the basis of EIN’s conversation with Mike.
Within each of five different job types, the range in hourly rates is consistent. But among the five job types, the maximum rates vary by up to 30%.
Performing electrical work without an electrical contractor’s licence and failing to apply for an electrical inspection has led to a five-day jail sentence and $50,000 in penalties for an Ontario contractor.
Contractors’ prices for new non-residential building construction rose 0.8% in the second quarter compared with the previous quarter. This was the seventh consecutive quarterly increase.
Ottawa and its surrounding area has become one of Ontario’s fastest growing cities because it’s a great place to live, work and raise a family.
Contractors with 20+ years earn by far the largest bonus, but more years doesn’t always mean a bigger bonus.
New housing construction investment totalled $4.4 billion in May, up 4.1% from May 2016. This increase was mostly explained by higher investment in Ontario and, to a lesser extent, in British Columbia and Manitoba.
I first met Mike Byam at the 2017 Ideal Supply northern trade show in Barrie, Ontario, and have since had the pleasure of bumping into him at a few other industry events.
On an incandescent light bulb, the component that supplies electrical current is called a “base.” There are several types of foot lamp, and each has a specific application.
