Simplify Single, 3-Phase
Calculations This basic primer on
calculating electrical loads discusses how to use
constants to simplify single-phase and 3-phase
loads using the common kW = (V × I × PF) ÷ 1,000
formula... Read MoreCalifornia Considers Reductions to
SF6 Emissions from Power SectorEarlier
this month, the California Air Resources Board
(CARB) announced proposed regulations on SF6
emissions from the power sector and in particular
from gas insulated switchgear. CARB has proposed
mandatory leak reductions from 10% annually in
2011 to 1% annually by 2020. This rule may be of
interest to all switchgear manufacturers as
California's eight investor owned utilities, 50
munis and coops, WAPA, DOD, and other entities
replace or refurbish older switchgear units... Read MorePEARL Applauds Cooper Bussmann's
Electrical Recycling ProgramThe

(PEARL) supports ANY effort that keeps electrical
product out of landfills. That is why PEARL
applauds Cooper Bussmann's program to
recycle fuses, circuit breakers and
electrical contactors made by any manufacturer.
Visit their website to learn more, or contact a
nearby PEARL representative to see if your
electrical devices qualify for reconditioning, the

Residential ProjectsIt used to cost
thousands of extra dollars to get homes to qualify
for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design
(LEED) tax credits. Now, experts say it can be
done for $500 through efficient lighting and
electrical monitoring, plus a dash of electrical
education... Read MoreShocking News!
We'd like to thank Midwest Electrical
Testing & Maintenance Co., Inc. for reminding
us that when you check electrical equipment for
voltage, make sure you only have one point of
contact. Do not touch anything else. Do not
lean against, sit on, kneel on, or hold on to
anything else. Only your leather shoes
should be touching anything else.
Electricity needs a path into your body and a
second path out of your body. If it can't
get out, it won't go in. This is the
difference between a warning tingle and a deadly
shock.

PEARL Tips: How to Recondition Low
Voltage Motor Control Center Buckets and Enclosed
Assemblies
Section 1500 of
PEARL's Reconditioning standards covers several
low-voltage devices including Motor Control Center
Bucket, Magnetic Starters Enclosed, and Magnetic
Starters Combination. These devices are widely
used in elevators, conveyors, pumps, compressors,
hoists, blowers, fans, and machine tools that rely
on electric motors. Manufacturing in particular
invests heavily in electric motors, and for every
motor, there is a control center -- a motor
starting device or system...Read
