Review some typical hazardsassociated with electricity andlearn how to mitigate thehazards.OBJECTIVES

In the United States,electrical hazards areranked number 6among all causes ofwork-related deaths.

So a 2000 watt UPS will draw howmany amps?2000/120 16.66 ampsA standard 20 amps outlet isdesigned to carry 80%, thatwould be 16 amps.How much additional load will thiscircuit handle?I V/R

NEC 110.13. Mounting and Cooling ofEquipment.This requirement is always in dispute, itseems. Cramming equipment into anovercrowded arrangement to maximizerevenue per square foot sounds like areally good idea until that equipmentstarts failing left and right, or the wholeplace just burns down.NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE

Do YOU push the test buttonon GFCIs and AFCIs monthly?It’s HARD to rememberwithout calendaring the task!

NEC 110.3. Examination, Identification,and Use of Equipment. This section gives8 requirements for examination in part(A). In (B), it says "Listed or Labeledequipment shall be installed and used inaccordance with any instructionsincluded in the Listing or Labeling."In other words, use the product asintended. Unauthorized modificationsvoid the Listing and expose the modifierto civil, and potentially criminal, litigationand liability.

Back in 2005 the CPSC (ConsumerProduct Safety Commission) went to theelectrical manufacturers of GFCI’s andasked them to develop self testingdevices.The original scope was that the devicewould shut down if it did not pass theself test and hence create the safetythat these devices are there to provide.

Section 1926.416(e)(1) provides that "wornor frayed electrical cords or cables shall notbe used." Superficial nicks or abrasions —those that only slightly penetrate the outerjacket of a flexible cord, and do not permitthe cord to bend more in that area than inthe rest of the cord — do not normallyrender a cord "worn or frayed." Therefore,there is no need to repair or replace such acord.OSHA STANDARDS

Stapled through cord!

AMPACITY AND WIRE INSULATION*According to the electrical code, the overcurrentprotection shall not exceed 15A for #14, 20A for#12, or 30A for #10(However, insulation is a factor inlocations above 86 F)

TWO TYPES OFBURNS FROM SHOCKSurface Burns: Caused by entrance and exit ofelectrical currents through the body Can be caused by a very smallamount of current 1st degree to 3rd degree

ARC FLASH & BLASTRELATIVE TO THE HUMAN BODY: A 2nd degree burn threshold, or a ‘justcurable burn threshold,’ is skin temperatureraised to 175oF for 0.1 second. A 3rd degree burn threshold, or ‘incurableburn threshold,’ is skin temperature raisedto 200oF for 0.1 second. Eardrum damage 720 psf Lung damage 1728 psf

TWO TYPES OF BURNSFROM SHOCKInternal Tissue Burns: Caused by current flowingthrough organs of the body Caused by currents in excessof 1.5 amps 4th degree (internal) Internal organs Typically Fatal

What is the difference between static electricity and current electricity? Static electricity is stationary or collects on the surface of an object, whereas current electricity is flowing very rapidly through a conductor. The flow of electricity in current electricity has electrical pressure or voltage. Electric charges flow from an areaFile Size: 767KB

Electricity Markets—Recent Issues in Market Structure and Energy Trading Congressional Research Service 1 Introduction Electricity today is widely viewed as a commodity.1 As a commodity, electricity is bought and sold as both power2 and energy,3 with various attributes being traded in electricity markets. However, electricity has some unique characteristics which distinguish it from almost .

electricity and transmit that electricity to the grid. These EGUs may be owned by a vertically-integrated utility that also markets the electricity to retail, end-use customers or the EGUs may be owned by separate entities that sell the electricity to other companies that in turn “resell” the electricity to retail, end-use customers.

Section 2: Electricity Sector Background and GHG Trends . GHG emissions from the electricity sector are a function of the demand for electricity and the carbon intensity of the fuel used to generate electricity. Historically, power plants generated electricity largely by combusting fossil fuels. In the 1970s and early
