In a recent article on LEDs, we covered numerous topics and questions to help consumers buy the right bulb for their needs and be happy with their purchase. But LEDs are not only for residential use. In fact, some of the first applications/uses of LEDs (after indicator lights) were for exit signs, traffic lights, taillights, and refrigerated case lights.
Electrical switchgear refers to a centralised collection of circuit breakers, fuses and switches (circuit protection devices) that function to protect, control and isolate electrical equipment.
This graph shows national average salary of jobs related to the electrical trade. The national average for electricians is $71,660.
With COVID interrupting our lives, IDEAL Electric was committed to continue with its IDEAL National initiative. The rationale was pretty straightforward – they wanted to continue to recognize electricians for their efforts and maintain the momentum they have created in recruiting the next generation of electricians.
Changes in the CSA Z462 Workplace electrical safety standard are slowing down. Good news! The 2021 edition will see significant reorganization of content in Clause 4.1, changes to existing annexes, some new annexes and a significant change to the arc flash PPE category method of determining “additional protective measures” for a work task’s arc flash risk assessment are included in the 2021 edition.
Early in their careers electrical foremen earn an average of about $35/hour, eventually rising to $42/hour. The national average of those surveyed is $37/hour or $85,000/year.
Compared to many other industries, the construction industry has traditionally been slow at technological development.* This is changing rapidly, and more than digitization and emerging technologies, sustainability is going to become one of the dominant disruptive forces to transform the construction industry…
Battery systems are essential in energy management systems. For systems that use lead acid batteries, maintenance and testing should be completed on a regularly scheduled basis to ensure their expected capacity is available when needed.
When the Government of Canada contemplated developing a co-working concept, they chose Orleans, a suburb of Ottawa, for its pilot project. The intent was to open a convenient and comfortable co-working office space closer-to-home than their current downtown location.
Evidence shows that teams with diverse skillsets and perspectives perform better and have stronger bottom lines. With many companies eager to reap the benefits of a diverse team, diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) benchmarks are becoming more and more common.
Total investment in building construction decreased 1.7% to $15.2 billion in September, after reaching a record high in August. This can be attributed to decreases in the non-residential sector (-8.5% to $4.5 billion) which were partially offset by increases in the residential sector investment (+1.6% to $10.7 billion).
The national average salary of those surveyed is $52,912. Maintenance technicians in their first year earn just under $19/hour. Technicians with the most experience earn just over $25/hour.
Section 26 is a general section of the code and applies to the installation of all electrical equipment. Appendix B contains important additional helpful notes. This section is divided into a number of parts, with the general rules 26-002 to 26-014 applying to all electrical equipment and additional parts for specific types of equipment.
Calibration, testing, and validation are intertwined within the science field and it can be complicated when looking at the differences and true meanings. Each activity is used to ensure quality in the measurement process and to comply as per the requirements of a standard.
Building a control system for a modern lighting installation can seem like an impossibly complex task. To simplify it, a systematic approach to understanding the needs of the design, facility, and user can be employed. In this white paper, we aim to define the questions one must answer to construct an appropriate control system.
One third of master electricians have medical benefits. Less than one quarter have no benefits at all. See what percentage have vision and dental benefits.
