When you look at an electrical system, what most people want can be summed up in three categories:
The system must provide power to my business, customers, etc. without interruption
The system should be as safe as it can be (at a lower cost is a bonus!)
The system is, ideally, cost effective and efficient
One (of many) aspects of a system that touch on all three categories is its grounding option. There are three options
There have been changes to the National Electric Code. As of August 1, 2019 there are 29 states that have completed the 2017 NEC update process. Odds are, the state that you work in is up to date on new NEC requirements or will be by 2020.
One of these changes regards critical power systems. According to NEC 700.3(F) it is now required to have an additional temporary power source for emergency systems. Essentially, there needs
We all need enclosures for our power equipment. Sometimes, you want it a specific way…sometimes the environment or setting dictate what you need. In any case, a custom enclosure is a great answer to many out of the ordinary situations you might encounter.
Whether your equipment is in a hazardous location, needs easy access, increased safety, or just specific aesthetic tweaks, customizing your enclosure can be more important than people realize. Finding someone who can handle

Why the Vacuum Fault Interruption Technology is Replacing Traditional Switchgear
The Standard for Switches and Transformers Has Evolved: “Standard” Switches and Transformers Are Not the Standard Anymore
Once upon a time the Westinghouse Load Interrupter (WLI) was the standard medium voltage switch in the industry. It is used indoors and outdoors and typically found on the primary side of a unit substation transformer. There are many versions of this switch made by a variety
When’s the last time you looked at your Variable Frequency Drive? While it is nice to “set it and forget it”, it is worth looking at again. Specifically, looking at your resistors. How much energy are they dissipating? Is the resulting heat hazardous? You could put all the energy back into your system, which means:
You could be saving money
A great cost-effective way of checking in on your resistors is the Bonitron M3660 Regen Energy Monitor.
Integrated energy management involves the planning and operation of energy production and energy consumption. The objectives of this discipline are resource conservation, climate protection, and cost savings, while it also ensures that there is permanent access to the energy needed at the facility. When energy efficiency is realized, assets will be utilized much more effectively. Integrated energy management provides a clear and accurate view of the facility, allowing the owner to make informed and timely decisions
Eaton is dedicated to improving both the environment and people’s lives, using power management technologies that are sustainable, safe, efficient, and reliable. In the grand scheme of things, that’s what matters most of all, and Eaton is here to make sure those technologies work, and work well.
Improvements and updates to Arc Flash Risk Assessment and Mitigation have been made, and you will find a few of these listed here:

The Benefits of Active Harmonic Filters
Power Survey is a prominent brand that’s known for excellence in everything from harmonic distortion correction to power factor correction. It’s also known for first-rate active harmonic filters. Power Survey specializes in AHF offerings that pinpoint whether harmonic currents are in place. These filters also establish anti-currents. Anti-currents are important because they have the ability to minimize harmonics and bring them down to suitable and fitting degrees of intensity. These
The Advantages of Liquid-Filled Transformers Over Dry-Type Transformers
What types of transformers is your company using in your day-to-day operations? Eaton released an informative study showcasing how beneficial liquid-filled transformers are over dry-type in a variety of ways.
We present five reasons you should consider switching from dry-type transformers to liquid-filled.
Greater Energy Efficiency
In terms of cost-effectiveness, evidence shows dry-type transformers have significantly higher operating costs.
Lower Sound Level
Sound pollution is an issue in many factories. Earplugs
