In our last two newsletters, we told you about our new project: the PowerFacAging, a tool focused on energy savings. Unfortunately, this PFC calculator didn’t seem to raise your interest. That’s the reason why last month’s debate was about your opinion on its usefulness. Another point: if you’ve been too busy last month to hang around the forum, don’t panic! We selected 4 topics with no answers (yet!).

Which thermal imaging cameras for the electricians?

An attractive tool, the thermal imaging camera is now accessible to all companies. It is for the electrician an ally that accompanies him in his missions. But to take full advantage of thermal imaging, it is required to gain a minimum of knowledge and common sense on some physics considerations, in order to make the right choice .
Since a few years, the fall in prices has put infrared thermography within the reach of electricians (currently from 1000€ excluding VAT), with tools easier to use. The control offices, the experts of thermal imaging and diagnostics, and the specialized companies are no more the only ones to handle thermograms, even though they are using the more sophisticated thermal imaging tools . There are no thermal imaging cameras dedicated to electricians, but rather tools which are more or less accurate.

This month we will ask you a new question, following last month one about LV fuses. Your answers will help us to have a better global vision and to complete our understanding of the subject. Then we will evoke some topics with no answer in the forum and finally we will introduce a Lebanese member of our community named Smorkos.
Bio-electricity: reducing the electromagnetic impact in the tertiary sector

Bio-electricity or electricity bio-compatible begins to be a popular topic in the individual housing sector and interests too some tertiary market project owner’s.
Since the 90’s, CEM (electromagnetic compatibility) has been taken into account in standards and regulations. With an exponential growth of the digital applications, a European directive has standardized interactions between “low current” cables and power cables. Today, manufacturers and engineering consulting firms have well integrated this approach.
But beyond this technical consideration, that aims to ensure the proper operation of the equipments, what about the impact of electrical and magnetic radiations on human health?

This month we will ask you a question about LV fuses and the applications where you consider they are mandatory. We will also talk about the new version of our forum and evoke some topics with no answer. Moreover, we always look for members that would like to be introduced to the community in the last part of this monthly article, if you are interested, do not hesitate to contact our team!
