http://www.sparkyuonline.com/blog This is an Intro to wiring controls and starters.Wiring a motor starter/contactor can be as easy or as complex as you make it. Within this series I hope to help you make it easy.Motor starters and contactors come in various sizes,voltages and ampreages.The electrical control circuit can be just as complex. Follow along and learn how to maintain,troubleshoot and operate basic motor starter controls.

With a SCADA system from Lucy Electric you know you are getting an automation solution from an industry leader in the power distribution industry – http://www.LucyElectric.com
As one of the leading scada manufacturers, Lucy Electric has been serving the needs of electrical utilities markets, distribution network operators and electricity companies around the world for over 100 years.
The scada system design enables it to safely and reliably monitor and control the operation of large electrical networks.
The scada system collects and processes data sent from other substations providing the operator with a comprehensive view of the entire network.
Here’s an animated diagram of a scada monitored electrical network, providing electricity from a regional substation to a number of other key areas and communities, including a residential area, commercial city district and a local airport. A busy port and a small rural community are also supplied by the primary substation through another circuit.
This demonstration walk through video shows how the scada system is used to manage and maintain the network intelligently following a fault.
When the fault occurs, the scada system receives notification of the circuit breaker trip and uses fault passage indicators placed around the network to determine where the fault has occurred.
The remote scada data operator is informed about where the fault lies and on which part of the line. The operator is now able to use the Lucy Electric system to isolate the problem area and re-route power to the affected customers.
Isolating the fault area from the rest of the network is key and allows the operator to arrange for a repair.
Typically, the network will be sectionalised and power re-routed within 3 minutes of the original fault.
Using scada systems allows the operator to direct the repair team to the specific area on the network where the fault occurred.
Once the operator receives word that the repair is complete and all repair people clear of the site, the scada system is used to restore power to the entire network based upon its usual configuration and operation.
The Lucy scada system structure is designed for it to work in conjunction with the complete range of switching and protection systems for operators.

IBEW members in and around Salt Lake City are doing the kinds of work the local union has never done before. Electricians are helping to build retail projects, restaurants and stadium scoreboards thanks to programs that allow union contractors to bid more competitively on jobs. It means more work for union electricians across the state of Utah

The mission of the Chicago Electrical Industry (CEI) group is to unite the local industry in community outreach service to enhance the social fabric within our community. Each year an amazing group of companies, employees, families and friends walk & roll to raise funds for the American Cancer Society Walk & Roll Chicago.
Presented by: Dr Cassie Newland, Professor Mark Miodownik & Michael Mosley. I wasn’t able to record the HD stream. Hopefully someone will upload a better quality…
I did download the other episodes in this series, but the video quality was so bad they were unwatchable.
