F or us in the news industry, 2012 proved an exciting year of mergers and acquisitions, and many of us still wonder where the chips will fall in the coming

months. Just check out this list of headlines ripped from the News section of EBMag.com:

• KKR completes acquisition of Capital Safety (DBI-SALA, Uniline and Protecta brands).

• Belden acquires PPC for $515.7 million.• GE Lighting acquires fixture company Albeo Technologies.• Eaton Corporation plc completes its $13-billion acquisition.• General Cable acquiring Alcan Cable in $185-million deal.• Leviton acquires Home Automation.• ABB completes Thomas & Betts acquisition.• Nexans completes acquisition of AmerCable Holdings Inc.• Rexel acquires Liteco, independent distributor in the Maritimes.• Siemens set to acquire Canadian network supplier RuggedCom.• No more rumours: Wesco International acquiring EECOL Electric• Without EECOL, IED to merge with Affiliated Distributors.

Some of these deals are phenomenally huge (like Eaton buying Cooper), and some are just so, well, interesting, because of the Canadian aspect. Case in point is Wesco’s $1.14-billion purchase of EECOL Electric, whose history

dates back to 1919 when J.M. (Jack) Sharpe established Electric Equipment Co. Ltd. in Moose Jaw, Sask.

The rumour mill went into overdrive when it was learned EECOL was being sold: Who was the purchaser? Was it Sonepar? Rexel? And when Wesco came forward as the purchaser, the next big question became: What will become of the IED buying group? EECOL, after all, accounted for a huge chunk of Independent Electrical Distributors, the folks behind the IED Rewards loyalty program.

The answer to the last question proved our suspicions correct: that IED would merge with U.S.-based buying group Affiliated Distributors, which already has numerous Affiliates in Canada. Featured on our cover are David Oldfather, AD’s president of the Electrical Division, and Jim Milne of IED, who will become president of AD Canada. We interviewed Jim and David back in December to learn more about the merger, and what would happen to things like, say, the IED Rewards program.

I encourage you to visit EBMag.com to read up on some of these business deals, and especially check out our video interview with Jim and David to see how things may change on the electrical distribution landscape. Happy New Year!

Schneider’s 2013 Go Green in the City competition opens to Canada!

Schneider Electric (www.schneider-electric.ca) recently announced the 3rd edition of its international competition focused on developing innovative energy solutions for smarter cities—Go Green in the City (www.gogreeninthecity.com)—and, finally, the challenge has

opened up to Canadians! (You may recall, we noted Canada’s absence from this competition back in February 2012 with this news item: bit.ly/VmneLb.)

Over the past two years, more than 1050 teams representing 2100 candidates from nine coun-tries participated in the competition. Saying it is encouraged by the success of the two previous edi-tions of Go Green in the City, Schneider decided to open the challenge to 10 more countries.

“By opening Go Green in the City to 10 more countries, Schneider Electric wants to respond to the growing concern students show for energy issues and raise awareness of the challenges facing the energy sector in both mature and new economies,” said Karen Ferguson, executive

vice-president, Global Human Resources at Schneider Electric.

The company says Go Green in the City aims to give a better understanding of the global energy challenge and “to create a strong bond with the young and emerging talents throughout the world—future core players of tomorrow’s energy market”. It is open to 190 universities in 19 coun-tries. In teams of two—at least one of which should be a woman—students are encouraged to come up with viable solutions for energy management.

The students apply by sending in a pitch of their idea by March 3, 2013. The best proposals should reconcile increased demand for energy, social progress and environmental protection. After an initial selection of the 100 most interesting projects in April 2013, the students will have five weeks to develop their idea with the help of an assigned Schneider Electric mentor.

After a final selection process, 25 finalist teams will be invited to Paris to present final project to a jury composed of Schneider managers. The two members of the winning team will be offered a job to start their career with the company. They will also have the opportunity to visit Schneider Electric facilities in different parts of the world and meet fellow employees, as well as being exposed to senior leaders.

Eaton Corp. (www.eatonelectrical.ca) is sharing tips aimed at helping facility owners and contractors identify coun-terfeit electrical products; these tips can help you as you take inventory of your current stock and prepare for purchasing in the New Year.

“While there are laws against counterfeiting in many countries, detection is sometimes difficult and enforcement is lax,” said Tom Grace, brand protec-tion manager, Eaton’s Electrical Sector. “Legitimate manufacturers, distributors and customers must work together to prevent unsafe products from entering the supply chain and causing harm to people and property.”

Counterfeit electrical products present serious health and safety risks to consumers and the electri-cal industry. Although they are often less expensive than legitimate products (because the manufacturers cut corners), they also present long-term economic risks related to safety and their negative impact on legitimate manufacturers.• Buy authenticThe best way to avoid counterfeit electrical

products is to purchase products from the manufacturer’s authorized distribu-tors or resellers. There is a higher risk of counterfeits when one cannot trace the

path of commerce to the original manufacturer.• Verify authenticationWhen possible, use tools provided by the OEM or certification organizations to verify electrical prod-ucts as authentic. This can be done while purchas-ing or for products currently owned. For example, Eaton’s Circuit Breaker Authentication (CBA) tool is designed to allow customers to detect whether Eaton moulded-case circuit breakers (MCCBs) up to 400 amperes are counterfeit.• Make sure everything that should be there is thereCounterfeit products often don’t include supple-mentary materials such as the owner’s manual or product registration card. Sometimes, counterfeiters do not include all the parts that should come with the product, or some parts will be from a different manufacturer.

Electricity Sector Council now Electricity Human Resources Canada With a new name, new website and “refocused direction”, Electricity Human Resources Canada (EHRC)—formerly Electricity Sector Council (ESC)—has “doubled down on its efforts to keep the lights on in Canada”.

“Our new strategic direction reflects EHRC’s desire to become an even more important resource to the electricity industry,” said CEO Michelle Branigan. “Indus-try expressed overwhelming sup-port for our work, for our ability to connect stakeholders. And now they want more.”

EHRC claims itself the author-ity on human resources in Can-ada’s electricity industry. For the last eight years, it has provided the industry with research on labour market issues and tools to address skill shortages.

“We’ll continue to provide invaluable labour market intel-ligence and practical workplace support. And the industry will look to us as a hub for research, learning and networking,” added Branigan.

Since its inception in 2005, EHRC (then ESC) relied on operational funding from Human Resources and Skills Develop-ment Canada through the federal Sector Council Program. But recent budget cuts meant the end of government funding to all sector councils. As of next year, the organization had to become self-sufficient.

Norm Fraser, COO of Hydro Ottawa and chair of EHRC’s board, acknowledged the value that EHRC brings to the electric-ity industry: “EHRC connects all the players in the industry-busi-ness, labour, government and aca-demia. By refocusing, the organi-zation will become an even more effective partner to industry, help-ing address the human resource challenges it faces. The industry has two key drivers that will impact on its ability to provide reliable service: massive impend-ing retirements and the need to maintain and build infrastructure.”

“Over the next few years” said Branigan, “EHRC will con-tinue to expand the services and research it provides to the elec-tricity industry, and ensure HR needs, resources and strategies are effectively communicated to the industry at large”.

Ontario to offer 50% rebate for electric vehicle charging stationsOntario says it is helping eligible electric vehicle (EV) owners install charging stations at their homes and busi-nesses by offering a rebate of 50% (to a maximum of $1000) of the total purchase and installation cost of an electric vehicle charging station.

“Plug’n Drive is excited about this government pro-gram. Evidence shows that EV drivers will do about 80% of their charging at home. Charging at night helps

drivers take advantage of time-of-use pricing and uses surplus electricity that is low-emitting and locally made. A home charging incentive removes part of the cost bar-rier and helps Ontario maximize the environmental and economic benefits of EVs,” said Cara Clairman, presi-dent and CEO of Plug’n Drive Ontario (www.plugn-driveontario.ca), a coalition of government, electricity companies, NGOs, researchers and automakers.

The program is open to all homeowners and busi-nesses who have received a provincial EV rebate.

To prevent cable damage from nails and screws, Rule 12-516 (1) of the Canadian Electrical Code requires that a safety zone of at least 32 mm be left between non-metallic sheathed cable and the edges of the studs, joists and similar structures through which it is pulled. Whilst this rule is often interpreted as meaning 32 mm in depth from the front of the stud, there is also the potential for mechanical injury on either side of the structure, at cable entry and exit points. If the contractor is unable to provide a 32 mm safety zone, the cable must be protected using approved metal protection devices. Thomas & Betts has responded to this requirement with three new additions to the Iberville® CI66 protector plate family. Designed and manufactured in Canada, these products will help you meet code requirements quickly and efficiently, without obstructing dry wall installation.

Strong growth potential for energy storage, distributed generation and microgrids

IEEE has made available a new report it commissioned detailing how energy storage, distributed generation and microgrid technologies stand to evolve given the deployment of the smart grid across the globe over the next five years.

Based on a survey of 460 global smart grid executives in September 2012, Zpryme Research & Consulting created the report, “Power Systems of the Future: The Case for Energy Storage, Distributed Generation, and Microgrids”, which is available for free download at http://smartgrid.ieee.org.

“Energy storage, distributed gen-eration and microgrids will prove to be critical elements in the transformation, as will incentives, standards, policy, and customer engagement. And all of those pieces must align logically within a long-range plan for society to efficiently real-ize the revolutionary benefits that the smart grid promises,” said Wanda Reder, chair, IEEE Smart Grid.

Three overall conclusions are defined in the Zpryme report:• Private- and public-sector funding for

microgrid, distributed generation and grid-level storage R&D and projects/pilots would contribute to more cost-effective solutions, inform better busi-ness cases and help reveal best prac-tices around installation, application and optimization for the technologies.

• Europe is the global leader in adopt-ing and utilizing distributed gen-eration and microgrids, while North America is prominent in storage tech-nology: the report says these regions stand to “take the lead when it comes to developing and deploying next-gen-eration distributed energy systems”.

• Energy management systems, dis-tributed management systems and communications technologies are identified in the report as the criti-cal enabling technologies for energy storage, distributed generation and microgrids, as well as advanced grid services such as net metering, load aggregation and real-time energy monitoring that in many cases will be delivered in the cloud.

Stacey Electric fined 150,000 after worker killed Stacey Electric Co. Ltd. (www.staceyelectric.com, Toronto, Ont.) was fined $150,000 for violations of the Occupational Health & Safety Act after one worker was killed and another worker was injured.

In December 2010, two Stacey

Electric workers were repairing a broken beacon at a railway underpass on Bathurst Street near Dupont Street in Toronto. The beacon was on a cement median between four lanes of traffic. One worker was in the bucket of a boom truck that had been extended over a lane of traffic next to the median. The other worker was standing on the median assisting the worker in the bucket.

While the workers were repairing the beacon, a bus struck the boom attached to the bucket. The worker on the median was struck and killed by the bus and the bucket as it fell to the ground. The other worker was also injured.

A Ministry of Labour investigation found that there were no traffic control measures, such as signs or traffic cones, in place during the repair operation.

Stacey pleaded guilty to failing to take reasonable precaution toward ensuring their workers prepare a traffic protection plan. In addition to the fine, the court imposed a 25% victim fine surcharge, which is credited to a provincial govern-ment fund to assist victims of crime.

BC Hydro investing $100K to support North East Aboriginal Trades Training BC Hydro (www.bchydro.com) says it will provide $100,000 in funding over two years to the North East Native Advancing Society (NENAS, www.nenas.org) to support trades training under its North East Aboriginal Trades Training (NEATT) program.

The NEATT program emphasizes pre-college preparation, trade careers exploration and personal development, as well as workplace essential literacy and numeracy skill-building. The goal of the program is to prepare Aboriginal people for their transition into existing trades foundation courses and appren-ticeship programs offered at Northern Lights College and at other training centres in the province.

“There is a high demand for a skilled workforce today and in the future in the Peace region,” said Susan Yurkovich, exec-utive VP, Site C Clean Energy Project, BC Hydro. “By increasing access to trades training for Aboriginal people today, our intent is to benefit Aboriginal students and provide a foundation for the future.”

Funding for the society is designed to complement the $1-million in BC Hydro funding for trades and skills training at Northern Lights College (NLC). With this funding, NENAS will support the tuition and associated costs for Aboriginal people pursuing trades training programs that are not otherwise offered through NLC. For example, NENAS could sponsor people to attend programs such as the Heavy Equipment Operator program in Kamloops, which is not offered by NLC.

Jamaican orphanage benefits from solar donation and GTA volunteers An orphanage in a remote location in Jamaica has seen a marked improvement in its access to electricity thanks to a group of York, Ontario-based volunteers who recently installed a new solar PV panel system at the Beatitudes Home, located near the island’s capital, Kingston. Prior to this, the orphanage had only one hour of electricity per day, provided by a diesel generator.

Officers with the York Regional Police Department and representatives of Virtual Engineers—21 volun-teers in all from the Greater Toronto Area—travelled to Jamaica at their own expense to install the 5kW solar PV system. The solar-generated electricity is providing light, radio music and refrigeration to pre-serve food and medical supplies.

Eclipsall Energy Corp. (www.eclipsall.com) says it responds to situations where its products and technology can help the underprivileged, particularly in countries where that need is greatest. In this case, Eclipsall manu-factured and donated the solar panels that power the 5kW system, and provided support and training to the officers on the handling and installation of the PV panels.

The solar system installation at the Beatitudes Home for physically and mentally disabled children is in memory of York Regional Police Constable Davis Ahlowalia. In 2004, he led an initiative to adopt a Mis-sionaries of the Poor orphanage in Kingston. Davis’s efforts created a partnership that assisted in providing food, money and other charitable donations.

Honeymoon is over: Telvent now officially Schneider Electric

As of December 1, 2012, Telvent (www.telvent.com) is now officially known as Schneider Electric (www.schneider-electric.ca), concluding a year-long brand integration process after Schneider acquired Telvent in 2011. According to Schneider, the integration of Telvent’s weather forecasting and smart grid control systems with Schneider’s critical infrastructure expertise “launches the company into a unique class”.

Schneider says the completion of this brand integration gives it the ability to provide end-to-end solutions for low- and medium-voltage users, giving utilities a unique, single-vendor option to meet the challenges and capture the opportunities in the future of the energy industry.

Plasco to build 150K tonnes/year waste conversion facility in Ottawa Plasco Energy Group Inc. (www.plascoenergygroup.com) will build a 150,000 tonnes/year waste conversion facility in Ottawa, Ont., which will produce about 15MW of net electricity for the grid.

The facility will be built to the Plasco Conversion System (PCS) design and will incorporate three proprietary Integrated Converting and Refining System (ICARS) modules. The PCS breaks down garbage using Plasco’s ICARS system, which gasifies the waste and refines the resulting gas using plasma technology. Gas created from the waste fuels GE Jenbacher internal combustion engines, together with a steam turbine driven by heat recovered

from the process and engines, to produce the electricity that will be sold to the grid.

The ICARS modules will be manufactured in Ontario, and site construction and assembly of the PCS will create about 200 construction jobs. The facility will permanently employ 42 operations technicians.

Go to school and earn itI have been a journeyman electrician since 1983. I have been lucky enough to have had the experience to work industrial, commercial and even some residential.

I did, however, take a break from the trade to work field service for the largest medical/pharmaceutical equipment manufacturer in the world. During my 17 years with this company, I was trained on many different types of equipment: automated, robotic, PLC and microprocessor controls, pharmaceutical production lines, infection control... the list goes on. I very much value all the experience and knowledge I gained with this company.

It is always insulting to me—as it should be to all my brother electricians—when someone figures they can bypass the four years of technical schooling we all completed to get our Red Seals just because they spent a few years working in a related field.

There is a lot more to this trade than upgrading lights or changing out a motor. There is electrical theory, calculations, electrical code... not to mention all the hours of in-the-field training we receive bending conduit, pulling wire and cable, and so on.

I do wish this young man all the best [but] go to school: earn your ticket. You seem to have the hours required to go through the four years quickly. This is no freebie. Go to school and earn it.

— Jack P., Calgary, Alta.

Concept Electric helps donate $50,000 to Kids Cancer Care Foundation of Alberta Buck’n Up for Kids Cancer Ltd., an Alberta-based not-for-profit organization comprised partly of volunteers from Concept Elec-tric, has donated $50,000 to the Kids Cancer Care Foundation of Alberta (KCCFA). The donation will go toward KCCFA’s Capital Campaign to re-build Camp Kindle just west of Water Valley, Alta.The $50,000 donation was collected at the most recent event in the campaign –the Stampede BBQ fundraiser– hosted at Con-cept Electric on July 6.“It was our first kick at the can in terms of putting this party on as a fundraiser,” said Susan Williams, chair. “There were defi-nitely a few bumps in the road, but with hard work, support from the community and dedication of the group, we got over those hurdles and it paid off big time in the end.”The campaign first began in 2011 with the reconstruction of the camp, as Concept Electric was awarded the electrical and controls contract for the site. The camp officially opened its doors on July 13 to kids battling the effects of cancer, along with their families.

“We have a few events lined up such as a head shave to support KCCFA’s ‘Shave Your Lid for a Kid’ campaign. One of our very own board members is going to shave her head for this cause,” added Williams. “It gives our group goosebumps just thinking of the passion to helping out this cause. We also plan to double our donation for next year during Stampede. We’re already in the early planning stages to make it bigger and better.”Formed in January 2012, Buck’n Up for Kids Cancer is also maintained by individuals from Cana Construction; Vero Energy; Shaw GMC Lease; and members of the public and private sector.“Major construction and electrical players came together by putting aside the business of competition and joining together for this cause in the spirit of camaraderie,” said Buck’n Up for Kids Cancer. “The outpouring of donations and volunteers from all of these industries was more than expected.”

Industrial electricians... this one’s for you!A reader writes with a number of questions relating to becoming an industrial electrician. The best answer will be published in the next issue, and will win a prize from Electrical Business!

I have been working as an automation technician for the last 10 years, working in industrial settings and doing maintenance and service on equipment. My current job focuses on PLC and robot programming/configuration, as well as communication networking, but my other duties include wiring safety circuits, installing and troubleshooting motor control circuits, replacing and updating lighting circuits/fixtures, etc.I have always taken great pride in my work and try to work both safely and professionally, always following the rules set in both the Ontario Electrical Safety Code as well as the Canadian Electrical Code.I am interested in getting licensed as an industrial electrician (442A), but I continually get conflicting information as to what I am able to challenge, and what the requirements are to do so. My questions include:1. Can I challenge the actual exam directly and, if I pass, I am a licensed industrial electrician)?2. Can I only challenge the schooling portion of the apprenticeship (Apprenticeship Exemption Test [APPR]) doing each level individually?3. I’ve heard that I need a letter from my employer verifying that my job duties include the same tasks as that of an industrial electrician. Are there any specific details that must be in that letter?4. What are the requirements for hours worked in the field?5. I have a 442A apprenticeship book and have had the opportunity to work with many great electricians who have taught me much, and are willing to sign me off on much of the content in the book. Is there any requirement to have any portion of this book signed off to be able to challenge?

I have contacted the Ministry of Training, Colleges & Universities directly about this, but the response I got was that challenging was basically just for immigrants who worked as electricians in their country of origin (which contradicts what I’ve heard from others in the field).What I would like—and would greatly appreciate—is some direction on whether someone in my position can challenge the 442A Industrial Electrician exam and, if so, the requirements.I think an article in your magazine would be a great way to share this information with other technicians who are as perplexed as I on this topic.

Ontario re-launching small FIT Program for renewable energy Ontario is re-launching the small Feed-in Tariff (FIT, fit.powerauthority.on.ca) program, and Ontario Power Authority (OPA, www.powerauthority.on.ca) is now accepting applications from proponents of renewable energy projects over 10kW up to 500kW.The government says recommendations from the FIT Two-Year Review and Land Use Working Group “helped strengthen Ontario’s FIT program to better respond to community needs and to ensure its economic sustainability”, including:• Clarifying land use rules for ground-mounted

solar projects proposed in rural areas.• Encouraging greater community and Aboriginal

participation in small FIT projects by using a new points system. Applications with more community or Aboriginal involvement would receive more points and receive priority over other applications.

• Setting aside megawatts in the small FIT Program for projects with more than 50% community or Aboriginal participation.

• Helping ratepayers by reducing FIT program prices by an average of 20% for solar projects and by about 15% for wind projects.

The Information Technology Systems (ITS) designer’s scope of practice is constantly changing, and many of the tools we use are becoming standard. 20

years ago, many firms struggled to justify the purchase of computer-aided design (CAD) tools. Today, building information modelling (BIM) is the next evolution in our industry.

BIM is the process of generating and managing building data during its life cycle. It uses 3-D, real-time, dynamic building modelling software to increase productivity in building design and construction. The process produces the building information model, which encompasses building geometry, spatial relationships, geographic information, and quantities and properties of building components.

Living (and working) in a 3-D worldWe are in a three-dimensional world: we see in 3-D in varying levels of light, we watch TV in a 3-D world, play games in a 3-D world and we construct and enjoy buildings in a 3-D world. The time has come to design, engineer and construct buildings in a 3-D world.

BIM initially catered to architects and architectural technologists resulting in a dramatic change to the design process. Much of the design work is done upfront, and BIM helps inform the design team of the visual impact and architect’s vision early in the process.

Structural engineers and technologists were the next logical target. Many BIM software applications catered to architectural and structural disciplines long before any other disciplines.

General contractors have benefited by the efficiencies garnered by a well-coordinated construction package. The reduction of project rework helps to keep his budget in line.

Mechanical, plumbing, electrical engineers, technologists and ITS designers are benefiting from the coordination of operational functional components of the building.

Traditionally, engineering disciplines were unable to demonstrate the complexity of building systems to clients and architects. That is not the case, however, when using BIM; as the building model is built, it is very easy to generate detailed renderings showing the complexities of the building.

Engineering disciplines can render the mechanical, plumbing, electrical, communications and security systems in the building in a three-dimensional way and interact with them in a way they never could before. Engineering using BIM combines visualization to aid the placement of devices with testing various scenarios much earlier in the engineering process. Visualization can confirm unnecessary costs, as it is possible to test scenarios long before the bricks and mortar have been placed. We can now determine construction issues during the design, thereby reducing changes during construction.

How will BIM change the way the ITS designers deliver expertise?

EB_Jan2013.indd 10 2013-01-30 11:52 AM


Advantages to BIMIn building information modelling software, the building information is stored in a single building model instead of in a format predicated on a presentation, such as a drawing file or a spreadsheet. The model presents information for editing and reviews in views and formats that are appropriate for—and familiar to—the user. Some examples of these formats are a 2-D elevation, a 3-D perspective or a schedule.

Advantages to BIM database:

• Live interaction with all of the project content and project elements.

• A change anywhere in the project affects the entire project, including the documents and schedules.

• A model database’s calculated values are affected by all revisions applied to it.

• Live coordinated revisions to the model in all affect views.

The BICSI Standards Program has initiated a BIM Best Practices subcommittee, which will review agency, professional organizations and software associated with BIM. The subcommittee will also develop and define value-added BIM capabilities and illustrations of BIM, and provide recommended levels and guidelines of detail for planning, development, design, implementation and maintenance of telecommunications data within BIM.

All of the forthcoming educational information will offer ITS designers an avenue for embracing this exciting new technology in their complex construction environments.

BIM is becoming an important

tool in the construction of complex buildings: for example, one of the first buildings in Canada to use BIM was the Canadian Museum of Human Rights. Many believe it would have been impossible to construct that building without a tool like BIM. It is becoming a useful tool, and we believe the invest-ment in time and money will allow us to smoothly adapt to the 3-D world in which we live.

mind your safetyDave Smith

Handling mine trailing cables

Mine trailing cables are used to supply mine mobile equipment such as miners, draglines, shovels, drills, bucket wheels, conveyors, etc. They are typically 5kV to

25kV cables and sometimes as high as 72kV. In addition to being high-voltage, they also carry significant current, providing a tremendous amount of energy in megawatts and horsepower. These can create dangerous situations that have killed many mine workers over the years.

This danger is countered by the cable design, manufacture and integrity. Modern cables are all shielded, with a braid of grounded metallic sheath around the insulation surrounding each conductor. There may or may not be an outer shield around all of the conductors that would also be grounded. There is a very, very high safety factor inherent to the insulation of the cables, but from electrical failure—not mechanical abuse. When there is an insulation failure, there would be a blast of current from the phase conductor to its shield, hopefully tripping the protection system.

The protection is provided by protective relays monitoring these ground faults, or any phase-to-phase fault, and tripping the supplying circuit breaker. Additionally, in the cable there will be a separate wire called a pilot wire (a.k.a. ground check). This will be series monitored and, should any break occur in the pilot wire, it will trip the system out, based on the assumption that when the pilot wire is separated, the cable must have been damaged or separated.

It is customary to have high-impedance

Part 1

grounding to limit fault currents as well as reduce voltage-to-ground during an electrical contact to a survivable level. Due to the dangers of these systems, prudent companies will ensure they have high-speed protection.

Once the cables are installed, the danger is further countered by safe work procedures, safe work practices, PPE and training. As the machines move, the cable also has to be moved, which increases the risk to the workers, as the cables are moved both by machine and by hand.

In our experience, human contact with these cables elicits two responses: first, a highly emotional response: “These are incredibility dangerous and stupid to even touch”; or, second, a rational response based upon the safety factors described above, and the fact that those cables need to be moved. That, plus the fact that incidents are rare.

While researching the subject, I found an accident that happened to an experienced mine worker who received a shock from a 5kV trailing cable that was operating at 4160V phase-to-phase, and 2400V to ground. The trailing cable had been hanging too closely to a moving conveyor, and the conveyor belt rubbed through the outer insulation. The worker

inadvertently touched the cable at the damaged spot and received a severe shock.

Technically, it is unlikely the belt rubbed through to the conductor as that would have bridged between the conductor and the ground sheath surrounding the conductor insulation. It is more likely that there was a remaining thin layer of insulation around the conductor that allowed a charge to be developed, and this was the source of reduced shock.

2400V-to-ground is higher than the voltage used in the electric chair; even momentary direct contact would cause skin burns. Since the worker in this case was not burned, I believe there could not have been a direct contact. Regardless, a different current path could have caused heart failure, so there is definitely a danger... but I will explore that in my next column.

Until next time, be ready, be careful and be safe.©

Southwire_EB_Jan.indd 1 2013-01-10 11:24 AM

In today’s economy, the term “cost reduction” is in every manager’s daily discussions. Companies need to significantly reduce waste to stay competitive and continue their growth

in this challenging economic climate. This context brings multiple challenges and headaches for leaders when it’s time to make decisions and move forward.

The building management industry is no different to this reality: facility managers and building operators struggle to make informed decision. A big part of their dilemma resides in the building itself.

Essential but expensive, energy costs are one of today’s biggest challenges for facility man-agement professionals. Building management professionals continuously need to develop strat-egies to cut on wasted energy to reduce their baseline operating costs and, sometimes, meet regulations in their jurisdiction. Having to deal with various types of data—ranging from energy through occupant requests, to maintenance and operations—these managers are trying to do more with limited resources.

This usually results in expensive investments in ‘greener’ equipment for the building that is expected to save energy in the short term. Improved lighting products, efficient chillers and HVAC are already on the market, and provide immediate impact. But while these large capital investments can bring savings to the building monthly energy bills, they require multiple resources and do not always bring long-term results as intended. This is because adding tech-nology to the building system does not auto-matically result in efficient operation.

Ongoing commissioningTo achieve objectives and identify smart solu-tions, facility managers must impact building operations globally with better technologies alongside a new management culture built on best practices. Ongoing commissioning is an innovative approach to managing buildings, as it continuously improves upon energy conserva-tion and shifts operations to today’s performance standards.

Ongoing commissioning is a four-step imple-mentation process followed by a step-by-step continuous improvement cycle. Implementing this system within the operation team is the most important step in creating intelligence in the building. Let’s not forget that a smart build-ing is more than technologies: it’s a culture of excellence in its operation. To achieve that level of excellence, all processes—including the build-ing automation system (BAS)—must be ana-lyzed, improved and monitored.

STEP 1: BenchmarkingThe first step in implementing a full ongoing commissioning process is to benchmark the

building’s actual performance, which can be done a number of ways. More affordable solu-tions are found in utility bill analysis, or detailed building inspection using standard question-naires as found with ASHRAE, BOMA, Energy Star and LEED. These tools will guide the team as they identify what to measure... and why.

Hardware and software solutions—like an energy management system (EMS)—are also available for monitoring energy.

Should the team require more data and sup-port, measurement and verification analysis companies (M&Vs) can be contracted to install measuring devices, collect data and share exper-tise during the analysis. Although this alterna-tive is more expensive, the team has access to training, and the subcontractor can substantially facilitate the project.

STEP 2: ObjectivesOnce the baseline is settled, the building owner or management team must establish an initial set of objectives defining their vision and the project scope. Then, the team determines the key per-formance indicators (KPIs) for monitoring their progression in achieving their goals.

STEP 3: ActionWith the project scope and targets defined, the team is able to take action on the building man-agement process and its mechanical systems to improve overall building performance (KPIs).

The most thorough solution is to undertake a complete recommissioning of the building, which impacts all of its systems at once; this resets the building’s capabilities and starts opti-mization with ongoing commissioning. This solution is more expensive, but will unlock the full savings potential. As an alternative, the team can also select opportunities from the bench-marking data and take local action on specific equipment to start generating savings.

To get more information from the building, fault detection and diagnosis software are pow-erful tools for analyzing the building 24/7, and provide all the required information on Where, What and How to improve mechanical system performance in relation to its environment. Accessing this level of information is a critical step toward ongoing commissioning.

Building managers are increasingly turning to energy monitoring applications that pro-vide detailed information about daily energy consumption. Although these applications are a really good start, they do not provide all the information required to quickly identify problem causes in the mechanical system. This often forces the team to use quick fixes rather than getting to, and correcting, the root cause of the problem (e.g. lowering a temperature setpoint rather than looking for a leaky valve). Fault detection solutions, on the other hand,

facilitate access to the information that man-agers need to assign work orders efficiently and correct system issues.

Now that facility managers have more vis-ibility into building performance, investments can be made in new products and equipment to bring the building up to today’s standards. These asset changes help ensure the building operates as designed... yet improved.

STEP 4: Continuous improvement cycleTo achieve the full benefits of ongoing com-missioning, the team has to foster a continu-ous improvement culture. Reviewing previ-ously established KPIs and taking action at every gap to identify the proper corrective action will unlock the team’s full potential at reaching operational excellence.

Computerized maintenance management software (CMMS) is useful for helping the team manage internal activities. Some CMMS also includes advanced business features, such as accounting, inventory, project management and budget, which simplifies overall manage-ment activities.

The continuous improvement of maintenance activities is a crucial step in reducing a building’s energy consumption. Implementing a robust preventive maintenance process with efficient scheduling will ensure proper monitoring and prevent breakdowns or malfunctions due to excessive equipment wear. Using CMMS and fault detection tools on a regular basis will feed processes with actions and improvements for implementation within building systems. Each problem raised is an opportunity from which to learn and gain experience—and useful data—and build a history.

Ongoing commissioning: a management solutionOngoing commissioning is a mix of technology and management culture intended to improve building energy consumption during its entire life cycle. Today’s economy forces companies to do better every day with fewer resources. Com-missioning, retro-commissioning and recom-missioning are successful strategies for facility managers, but ongoing commissioning is the key to keeping investment benefits in the long term and maximizing overall results. It simply allows the building to adapt to its environment, which is essential to staying competitive in today’s evolving industry.

Does the Fire Eye water deluge system need glasses?

REWIND 2 years... Our client’s manufacturing plant had blown up... again... the third time! With each explosion, a huge 20-ft crater was left behind. Our client manufactured explosives.

All the explosive-manufacturing buildings at this complex were strategically spaced apart about 400 feet to avoid any ‘domino’ effect building explosions. Also, production was cancelled whenever there was a lightning storm.

The assembly workers in each building were positioned about 10 to 15 feet inside the building around the perimeter. Behind each worker was a large, 1-ft wide yellow fluorescent line on the floor directing them to their designated escape doorframe installed on the outside wall. This doorframe did not have a door: it was simply filled with 4-in. thick rigid styrofoam. Should the workers hear the building evacuation alarm, they were to immediately escape by quickly crashing through this styrofoam barrier to the outdoors.

All the explosions were apparently generated by static electricity. These well-paid ‘danger pay’ production employees all wore special anti-static, cleanroom clothing, including an electrically conductive booties/strap system that was in direct contact with the workers’ skin to drain off any electric charge. Apparently, the last explosion occurred when an employee used a metal hammer to tap loose some of the explosive material stuck in one of the metal material delivery tubes... not a very good idea.

Management decided it was time to increase the plant’s safety by fully automating the entire manufacturing process.

FAST FORWARD 2 years... Two years later, with a new automation system installed, we received an urgent phone call. The newly automated explosive plant was in trouble, and critical penalty-based manufacturing contracts were in jeopardy. The plant, you see, was filling up with water every two to three weeks: apparently, the plant’s fire detection system was triggering the water deluge fire suppression system.

The client’s jet was waiting for us at the airport. We gathered our specialized test equipment and, together with several other experts in their fields, flew out to the site.

After conducting our own forensic investigation, the entire team would meet every four hours with the company’s trained problem-resolution facilitators to review the findings. We would also set out a plan of attack for the next four hours of investigation. This process continued every four hours, non-stop, until the problem was 100% resolved. Finally, after six exhausting days, the problem was discovered.

AN ExPLOSIvES MANUFACTURER’S PRODUCTION IS ALL WET


Basic site informationA - General Information1. Explosive-manufacturing building is a 2-storey

structure, about 100 x 100 ft.2. Electrical service is 2000A, 480V.3. Building is fully automated with multiple assembly

and CCTV monitoring stations.

B - Water Deluge Fire Suppression System1. There are 8-in. diameter incoming water pipes/valves

at the top and bottom of the building.2. These 8-in. water valves are activated by a building

Fire Eye detection system. When fire is detected by the fire eyes, the valves automatically open and the building is flooded with water.

3. The Fire Eyes at this facility use the same detection circuitry as this country’s fighter jets. When the early onset of fire is detected anywhere in the jet, the pilots make a decision quickly to eject from the jet. This system has been operating successfully in these fighter jets for almost 10 years.

4. These Fire Eyes are tuned to a specific wavelength of light that contains this precursor of the fire flame. The Fire Eyes then send out an immediate trip signal to activate the water valves.

5. All Fire Eye systems were calibrated, checked and re-checked. Everything appeared 100% operational. Yet, with the plant in operation, the fire eye circuitry would sporadically cause these water valves to open (about once every two to three weeks).

The BIG question: Are the fire eyes actually sensing a legitimate spark or flame at this facility, or is some other system malfunction occurring?

The BIG answer: We could install monitoring equipment and wait for the next deluge to occur, only management was not prepared to sit and wait another two to three weeks: they had production orders that needed to be filled immediately or face very severe high-dollar penalty contracts.

No, the problem needed to be identified immediately and corrected.

Management was prepared to do just about anything. After several gruelling days of this 4-hour cycle investigation process, we finally received permission to ‘turn the plant On’ and perform partial production simulation (no explosive product present). Our test equipment and personnel were allowed inside this building to monitor the various communication lines.

There were about 20 Fire Eyes strategically installed within this building, all of which were interconnected with high-grade, double-shielded communication cables. We were told these were the exact Fire Eyes and communication cables that were used on the aforementioned fighter jets. The communication cables were then routed back within this facility to a central communication/supervisory control panel. The panel would then decide whether a trip signal was to be initiated and sent to the building’s water deluge system.

In several physical cable layouts, we noticed the communication cables were placed in similar routing positions as the various electrical distribution power cable feeders. At some locations, the communication cables were even placed running parallel to the power cable distribution trays.

We connected our test equipment to the Fire Eye communication cables at these parallel locations and instructed the plant personnel to turn on the electrical equipment fed by these power cables in the trays. As we had strongly suspected, our equipment immediately picked up spurious electrical noise on the communication cables. With the right combination of electrical equipment being turned on and motors starting up, we were then able to force a Fire Eye communication trip signal to the water deluge system.

By magnetic induction, the copper communication cables were picking up the rapidly expanding and collapsing 60Hz magnetic fields generated by the nearby power cabling system. With the right combination of motors running (magnetic field biasing) and additional motors starting up, we were able to induce the trip signal into the Fire Eye communication cable and, subsequently, trip the water deluge.

The design engineers on this job were left speechless. The Fire Eye communication cable they had specified was 100% shielded. They argued it had successfully worked in all the fighter jets. According to them, it was impossible for electrical interference to occur between these two cable systems, yet our site tests proved the Fire Eye/valve trip could occur due to electrical cable interference pick-up and, to boot, was easily repeatable.

To prevent 60Hz induced magnetic field coupling

into the Fire Eye communication cables, we recommended our client replace the existing high-frequency shielded cable system with low frequency 60Hz shielding materials. Alternatively, we suggested the communication cables could be routed away from running parallel to any power cables within this facility.

The client decided to remove all Fire Eye communication cables and re-route them. Simulation testing was repeated. All communication cables were now solid, with electrical interference levels at least 1000 times less compared to the previous installation.

FAST FORWARD about 10 years... This explosive production facility is running safe and sound, and has met or exceeded all production quotas each year without any Fire Eye false trips. The three craters are still there.

In the past, the word ‘smart’ was not gener-ally attached to inanimate objects, but that has changed. Now we have smart buildings, smart telephones, and smart foods.

Although they’ve been around for a few years, smart meters and the smart grid are now gaining prominence. Besides the meter manufacturers and software providers who stand to profit from this implementation, the principal proponents are the utilities. They have a vested interest in expanding their infra-structure in the interest of increased efficiency and enhanced balance sheets.

Meters yesterday and todayEarly (non-smart) electric meters worked in a variety of ways. The first arc lamps for street lighting were connected in series and all went on and off simultaneously, so it was necessary only to clock the hours of usage and compute the electric bill accordingly. Thomas Edison’s parallel-connected DC-filament lamps were individually switchable, so a more sophisti-cated solution was required. Edison, always a chemist, built a metering device that consisted of an insulated vessel containing zinc plates hooked in parallel to each customer’s premises wiring. Utility workers weighed the electrodes to determine the monthly bill. This method was not very accurate, and was soon replaced by a motor-driven meter.

With the implementation of George West-inghouse’s AC electrical system, it became apparent that two opposite-phase AC fields could cause an armature to turn. This became the basis for the watt-hour meter that remained in use for over 100 years.

In the 1930s, electrical codes were revised to allow meters to be connected upstream from the main disconnect and overcurrent devices. This, along with socket-mounted sealed units, made customer tampering less likely. For ease of reading, meters were now located outside. A gear train, with 1:10 ratios conforming to our digital numbering system, made meter reading

easy once you got past the clockwise/coun-ter-clockwise shift between adjacent digits. Since 1990, the four major meter manufac-turers (Landis+Gyre, GE, Itron and Elster) have offered fully electronic models without moving parts.

These meters remain widely used today. An important variation is the torroidal coil: a cur-rent transformer that senses current flow by means of magnetic flux variations. In heavy load applications, such as large industrial facilities, this mechanism simplifies wiring and hardware requirements.

Overall, the traditional electromechanical meter has worked well for utilities, custom-ers and electricians. Individual utility policies determine the point of connection, which varies depending on whether the service is aerial or underground. The electrician installs the service conductors and equipment down-stream from the point of connection. The util-ity may or may not supply the meter socket.

For an underground service lateral, typically the customer (or the electrician) furnishes the conduit, usually PVC, buried, backfilled and graded. The utility furnishes the wire upstream from the meter, because it would not be appro-priate to have non-utility workers climbing the pole and connecting to the transformer.

Opportunities in automationEven with the advent of the smart meter, most of these procedures remain unchanged. But depending on its features, the smart meter—for full implementation—implies the use of smart appliances and home automation. Electricians will be the big players in this arena, especially when homeowners and maintenance depart-ments are unable or unwilling to undertake this work. Moreover, the very fact that home and commercial building owners are becoming more energy-aware means they will look for other ways to upgrade their electrical systems in the interest of lowering the electric bill.

Electricians can speak knowledgeably about

the benefits of good grounding and adequate wire sizing. Poor grounding means out-of-bal-ance legs, so some motors will run below rated voltage, drawing increased current. Moreover, as the years go by, motorized tools and appli-ances begin to draw more current, producing heat in place of torque. In an industrial facility, significant capital can be conserved by replac-ing outmoded motors and lighting. The shift to T8 fluorescent bulbs and ballasts saved large facilities many thousands of dollars annu-ally. On the horizon are LEDs: an enormous improvement in terms of energy use when—and if—the initial installation cost comes down.

In many locations, utilities offer incentives for large customers to improve power factor by installing capacitors. Power quality is a key consideration in large industrial facilities that are heavily motorized. You can pay for that top-of-the-line oscilloscope by using it to find harmful harmonics that are affecting power consumption and motor life. The smart meter will provide a starting point for this and similar endeavours. These are jobs for the electrician that may result from smart meter installation.

Smart meters work in nearly real-time to read premises sensors, report power outages and detect power quality issues. They go way beyond the traditional interval and time-of-use meters that have been around for a few years.

An older technology involved the installa-tion of two meters on the outside of a build-ing. One was wired to the entrance panel, while the other was wired through a sealed enclosure containing a 24-hour timer to the hot water heater. The idea was that the hot water heater was powered down during peak usage hours, enabling the utility to distribute its load more evenly. In return for agreeing to this arrangement, the customer was billed at a lower rate for power measured by the second meter. The basic paradigm was that everyone benefitted: utility, customer and our planet, due to reduced carbon usage and less global warming. The problem, however, was that the

equipment was more costly than the energy savings warranted, so this dual-meter arrangement has fallen into disuse.

Utilities pay an average of $200 per smart meter, but this figure varies widely depending on buyer, seller and the number of units purchased. For those among us who are interested in such things, it is instructive to take a look at the inner workings of a typical smart meter manufactured by Elster. Needless to say, the unit is not cord-and-plug connected. Two large copper conductors rated at 200A are connected to the input and output lugs of a conventional meter socket.

Rather than powering an old-world motorized gear train, these conductors are inductively coupled to current transformer windings whereby a small cur-rent is sampled periodically to develop the digital information that is transmitted to the util-ity. Additionally, a small potion of the 240V 60Hz supply is stepped down to 10V, which is subsequently rectified to provide DC bias for the many integrated circuits that populate a printed circuit board.

The smart meter has a LAN (local area network) ID number so that it can be recognized to participate via IP (internet proto-col) with the EnergyAxis Smart Grid network.

Smart meters will probably gain in functionality as quickly as util-ity engineers and meter manufac-turers can think of new uses. The basic idea is that the smart meter delivers information to both the energy provider and the end user. Both ends of the supply chain, it is stated, will become more effi-cient, meaning less energy will be expended to provide more of the benefits we have come to expect. The two parts of the equation are improved decision-making by consumers regarding their energy use and more effective manage-ment of the grid by providers. The smart grid and smart meter presuppose one another and are codependent.

It was not always that way. In simpler times, the smart grid consisted only of a SCADA-enabled (supervisory control & data acquisition) information net-work that aided in maintenance and control of utility-owned sub-stations. This protocol increased efficiency and decreased down-time, but there was no inter-activity with customer-owned

equipment beyond monthly visits by the meter reader. This is changing rapidly.

Smart meters are similar in appearance to their tra-ditional counterparts, although the curved glass body that protrudes from the meter socket is replaced by a clear plastic housing with a flat face at the front through which a digital display may be viewed. Inter-nally, there is a radio transmitter, with an internal (or, in special cases, external) antenna. Typical operation is in the 902-928 MHz frequency band, in short mil-lisecond pulses.

Power consumption is monitored at 15-min intervals or less, and the information as reported to the utility may be made available to the consumer either online or by means of a control panel installed in the custom-er’s home or place of business. Using this information, the customer can fine-tune appliance usage to mini-mize consumption during peak periods and reduce the electric bill, while helping the utility to even out harm-ful demand cycles. Moreover, the meter can detect and report outages and aberrations... even function as an arc-fault detector for the entire premises.

Challenges facing smartThese benefits are palpable and everyone stands to gain. The fact is, however, that utili-ties and manufacturers have been confronted by an enormous amount of opposition on the part of an aroused public, and the answers they have provided have not been satisfactory from the point of view of opponents. Objec-tions fall into several categories:

HealthLong-term exposure to any electromagnetic field (EMF) is seen by smart meter opponents as a health hazard. Numerous studies have supported this point of view while others have countered that the level and duration of expo-sure is minimal; the danger further mitigated by the fact the meter is located outside. But what about the child who sleeps inside next to the exterior wall just inches from the meter? It seems that for every assertion there is a counter-argument, so we can only say the jury is out on this one.

PrivacyTwo issues are relevant. The smart meter, like some other electrical distribution equipment, is located on the customer’s property and, notwithstanding any legal easements that may exist, bringing in a new technology against the desires of the owner is invasive, to say the least. Moreover, this equipment reports activi-ties of the residents to the utility, and these

residents have no way to know how this infor-mation will be shared. This may not be an issue to you or me, who may have no secrets, but for some it is an invasive infringement, and the right to privacy for these individuals should not be violated. Additionally, what are the implications of the remotely controllable ‘kill switch’?

Fire hazardIt is contended that the smart meter constitutes a palpable fire hazard. This could be true were it incorrectly installed, but that is true of any other electrical equipment. There have been documented instances, however, of this complex instrument overheating and posing a fire risk.

Smart meters kill decentralized generationOpponents argue that the installation of vast numbers of expensive smart meters further commits us to the idea of centralized power generation along with a continuing stake in conventional fossil fuel use and associated planetary warming. Moreover, it is asserted that utility rates will inevitably rise to pay for this vast implementation, which is unlikely to be offset by the small effect it will have on peak usage.

Cyber-attackRadio-controlled customer access to the grid, it is argued, makes us increasingly vulnerable to cyber-attack. Just as hackers have shrugged

off conventional password protection, so hos-tile political entities or terrorist organizations could exploit vulnerabilities in the North American grid. Smart metering, if it becomes universally adopted, could be a way in. Data hacking, introducing malware into the system and other attacks at the grid end could shut off the lights.

At one time, the biggest threat was that dishonest customers would attempt to steal power by inverting the old-style meter, deploy-ing strong magnetic fields near the meter and similar stratagems. Now the danger is that, for whatever reasons, hostile organizations would attempt to compromise the grid so that a large geographic area would be without power and data transfer would be hampered.

Software providers are attempting to develop security against unauthorized changes in cybernetic configurations in the hope of making the grid more secure and reliable. It is uncertain at this time which side will prevail. The smart meter/grid combination could turn out to be a valid defense against cyber-attack or, as a worst case scenario, a vulnerable point of entry for a destructive assault.

key to building the next-generation skilled trade workforce

TraInIng & eduCaTIOn

Tom Nealon

A number of market forces are putting increased pressure on educators and industry to provide more relevant education to fulfil a growing need for skilled trades. While employ-ment prospects are good, there is a significant gap

between graduates’ skill sets and what employers demand as older, more experienced technicians retire.

According to a recent study conducted by Fluke Corp., one of the outcomes of the recession is the improved outlook for technical jobs. In the United States, for example, growth in electrical and HVAC jobs will grow at two to three times the average growth forecast, while industrial plant technician jobs will grow at the average rate of 11%.

At the same time, there is a growing shortage of qualified candidates to fill entry-level jobs. According to the Fluke study, 85% of survey respondents say it is “difficult” to “very difficult” to find entry-level workers with acceptable skills. That number increases to 93% for industrial positions.

EB_Jan2013.indd 49 2013-01-30 11:53 AM


Working with industry and academiaIn Canada, Fluke is helping bridge the gap between traditional skills and those that are needed to support new and emerging technologies and industries. A global industry partner, official sponsor and supplier to WorldSkills International, Fluke has provided access to equipment, support and real-world teaching materials to a variety of educational institutions and vocational colleges, ensuring that students and educators have access to the most current technology, as well as industry and regulatory best practices.

One item of note is the fact that more than half of the employers surveyed said job candidates lack enough years of on-the-job experience to effectively perform in their positions, even though a majority of new hires do have basic electrical test tool knowledge. The biggest lack is in troubleshooting expertise and soft skills, such as problem-solving abilities.

Significant staffing challenges aheadSkills/Compétences Canada (S/CC, www.skillscanada.com) statistics confirm there are some significant staffing challenges ahead. It reports that, despite job losses caused by the economic downturn, many Canadian employers continue to have difficulties filling positions because of a shortage of skilled trade workers. Apprenticeships are equally in short supply within certain sectors. In the electrical sector alone, retirement continued at a rate of almost 5% per year between 2007 and 2012, which accounts for one-quarter of the industry.

Education and certification requirements are also increasing as employers require workers with specialized and knowledge-based skill sets. Of the employers surveyed, 66% say their new hires have basic electrical test tool knowledge, but need more hands-on time. 95% say competency in basic electrical theory and safety is a basic requirement to do the work and increase productivity on the job, while 75% expect knowledge of electrical panel troubleshooting.

When addressing test tool knowledge and employability, 82% of respondents said test tool knowledge was more important now than when they entered the field; 54% said it would be helpful to learn more. Responses indicated a need for troubleshooting and problem-solving skills compared to the lower-level requirements for installation tasks. 84% of industrial employers stated the ability to troubleshoot electromechanical equipment such as motors and pumps was important: 84% of HVAC employers stated the ability to maintain and troubleshoot motors, pumps and fans was important.

Respondents also expressed a need for continuing education; with 90% of workers saying their job definitions have broadened over the years, continuous learning is an integral part of the trade. While the majority of respondents had participated in

accredited continuing education (62% of which were sponsored or paid for by their employers), they reported that on-the-job mentoring had not increased, indicating a possible opportunity for more organized forms of in-house knowledge transfer.

How do they get trained up?When all this information is assimilated, the overarching question is how can a fresh graduate with basic school-level training get the skills needed when employers only have room for experienced candidates? In reviewing these survey results, we believe there is a significant opportunity to educate and train a new crop of industrial, electrical and HVAC professionals that can meet the practical needs of industry.

It is our belief that marketable skills training must take place both on-the-job and at school. For employers to find the level of quality they seek, they need to take a more active role in creating apprentice-style programs that add breadth and depth of knowledge, as well as increase continuing education programs to help the existing workforce adapt to—and take advantage of—changes in technology.

A number of educators and trainers are already incorporating hands-on experience into their curriculums. Some require 2117 hours (just over one work year) of hands-on experience to graduate from their programs: either in the field, in hands-on labs or on the job.

While all this is a positive direction, more work also needs to be done in the earlier stages of education. It is generally acknowledged that STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) education, experience and mentoring is critically important for preparing the future generation of technicians, electricians and engineers. Bolstering STEM education in K-12 will attract talented youth into targeted vocational training, as well as four-year and advanced degree programs, and on-the-job training/mentorship.

Tom Nealon is managing director of Fluke Electronics Canada LP, a role he has held since 2006. He has been involved in the test & measurement industry since 1978, bringing his expertise to electronic test and electrical customers in high-tech and industrial markets. Nealon may be contacted at [email protected].

85% of survey respondents say it is “difficult” to “very difficult” to find entry-level

workers with acceptable skills. That number increases

to 93% for industrial positions.

Be careful what you lien for

Dan Leduc

A recent Ontario Court of Appeal decision gives us some guidance on remedies to be claimed by a plaintiff in the construction context, and further on the amount your lien should carry should you pursue a lien remedy.

In 2004, the plaintiff Landmark II Inc. entered into a written contract with the defendant 1535709 Ontario Ltd. to expand a truck parking lot on 1535709’s property. The contract was valued at $58,850 and was to be paid in four equal instalments, with an instalment paid at the completion of each stage of the project.

After Landmark finished the second stage, 1535709 refused to pay the second instalment. Subsequently, Landmark declined to complete any more of the job until it received payment; it cleaned up the site and registered a lien pursuant to the Construction Lien Act for the remainder of the contract balance ($44,137.50). Landmark also brought a claim for damages in the amount of $44,137.50. In response, 1535709 brought a counterclaim for damages for Landmark’s failure to complete the project.

The trial judge concluded that 1535709 had, indeed, breached the contract and, as such, Landmark was not required to continue doing work on the project. However, the judge ruled that Landmark had only performed $16,000 worth of work and, taking into account the first instalment paid, she found that 1535709 only owed Landmark $1287.50. 1535709’s counterclaim was dismissed.

The trial judge further held that Landmark was liable under s. 35 of the Construction Lien Act for filing an exaggerated lien claim and awarded damages to 1535709 for all costs associated with discharging the lien. Damages were found to equal $5146.39.

After setting off the total amount of damages owed by each party to the

other, 1535709 was entitled to an award of $3793.61. The trial judge also granted a cost award to 1535709 in the amount of $55,000.

Two significant issues were at play throughout the trial, and subsequently on appeal at the Ontario Court of Appeal:

1. Did the trial judge err by failing to award Landmark damages for breach of contract?

2. Did the trial judge err in finding Landmark liable under s. 35 of the Construction Lien Act?

On the first issue, Landmark argued the trial judge ought to have awarded it damages for breach of contract in the amount of $24,500 due to its lost profits, despite the fact that Landmark itself never actually pleaded damages for breach of contract in its Statement of Claim. Further, Landmark argued the trial judge should have provided this option to elect what type of damages it wished to pursue.

In response, the Ontario Court of Appeal held the trial judge is not required to provide for such an election. Judges are not expected to grant a remedy for which the plaintiff never elected, let alone that they failed to request within the scope of their pleadings. The court found that it was within Landmark’s rights to present two claims in its pleadings and seek two different remedies (one for quantum meruit* and the other for damages for breach of contract); however, Landmark only pleaded quantum meruit.

The court was clear that the plaintiff has a positive duty to indicate to the court that it is pursuing alternative remedies, and that it will make an election in the future. Bottom line: best practices would dictate that a plaintiff claim every possible remedy available to it and, further, the plaintiff must make an election by the time of judgment as to which remedy it is seeking.

The second bottom line to take from this decision relates to the amount in a claim for lien. The court held that when a lien claimant registers a lien for the entire amount of the contract before construction is completed, it must stay on the job and have the utmost intent to fulfil the terms of the agreement. Otherwise, the amount of the lien registered should only ever reflect the value of the work done.

In this case, it was clear Landmark abandoned the project with no intention of returning. Accordingly, the Ontario Court of Appeal confirmed that Landmark ought only to have registered a lien for the actual value of the work completed and was liable for the costs that 1535709 incurred to discharge the lien.

note* Latin for “as much as he deserved”; the actual value of services performed. Quantum meruit determines the amount to be paid for services when no contract exists, or when there is doubt as to the amount due for the work performed but done under circumstances when payment could be expected (law.com).

Oberon unveils true colour grey arc flash faceshield The Oberon Company has launched an arc flash faceshield to address what it calls the biggest issue with arc-rated PPE (personal protective equipment): the inability to see colours. This clear grey faceshield uses a special IR dye in a proprietary compound that produces a true colour lens. Unlike the traditional green faceshields, says Oberon, grey is a medium-density filter that allows 100% colour acuity. This is the first true grey faceshield

(not requiring a laminated lens) to be available in Canada, adds the company. The shield is manufactured with polycarbonate material for high-impact and high-mass performance. An 8.2 cal/cm2 model is available right now, with higher levels of protection currently being tested. THE OBERON COMPANYwww.oberoncompany.com

Grounding and bonding in buildings housing livestock

Recently, several proposals were approved by the CSA Committee on the Cana-dian Electrical Code, Part I. These changes, however, are not effective until

adopted in the provinces by the AHJ (author-ity having jurisdiction).

One of these proposals is in Section 10, amending Rule 10-208 as it relates to the grounding requirements for buildings housing livestock. Based on the approved proposal, the practice of re-establishing neutral grounding as per Rule 10-208(a) in such buildings will no longer be permitted. A new Rule will mandate that a bond conductor be installed with the feeder or branch circuit feeding these buildings when supplied from distribution equipment.

This change actually flips the current requirements; the subcommittee discussions and the support information related to the pro-posal demonstrated that the use of the bonding conductor run with the feeder conductors pro-vides superior safety performance for livestock.

The practice of re-establishing neutral grounding as per Rule 10-208(a) causes the earth to serve as a parallel path for neutral currents back to the source, and can be seri-ously considered as a reason for stray current

problems for livestock. It is well recognized and proven that re-establishing neutral grounding in buildings housing livestock, as mandated by the current code, does not eliminate prob-lems with voltage transients and tingle voltage, which have an adverse effect on livestock.

In recognition of this new CEC amendment, it is recommended not to re-establish neu-tral grounding in these buildings as per Rule 10-208(a) and shown in Figure A. Following Rule 10-208(b) and installing a bond conduc-tor with the feeder or branch circuit feeding a building or structure housing livestock when supplied from distribution equipment, as shown in Figure B, is the recommended approach.

How did you do with the last quiz? Are you a...

Master Electrician ? (3 of 3)

Journeyman ? (2 of 3)

Apprentice ? (1 of 3)

Plumber ?! (0 of 3)

Farm buildings are often supplied from a Central Metering System (CMS); in that case, a grounding electrode should not be installed at a building housing livestock, and a bond conductor should be provided with the feeder conductors.

Since this recommendation is actually breaching current CEC requirements, it is very crucial that special permission or a deviation by the AHJ be granted before proceeding with the installation.

Nancy Hanna, P.Eng., is the engineering manager for Codes & Standards Department at Electrical Safety Authority (ESA) where, among other things, she par-ticipates in the development of bulletins, guidelines and technical communication concerning code interpretation and consistency issues. She is a LEED Accredited Profes-sional, and is a member of several CSA TSCs for CEC Part 1, including Sections 24, 32, 46, 50 and 64. Nancy can be reached at [email protected].
