Students’ top five loved lounge spots
"Take a seat, stay a while: five can’t-miss lounge spots around Concordia to eat, drink, and kick back at between classes." -- Abigail Maund-Anderson ('The Condordian' -- the University's Independent Student Newspaper Since 1973. Sir George Williams Campus, Montreal)
High Voltage Electric Service
There has been some considerable re-organization of low, medium and high voltage concepts in the 2023 National Electrical Code and more will roll out in the 2026 revision. Join us today at with the login credentials above to sort through these and other issues time allows. We coordinate our time on this topic with the 4-times monthly meetings with IEEE Education & Healthcare Facilities Committee.
System Aspects of Electrical Energy
This subcommittee oversees the vocabulary and best practice discovery processes for the system aspects of electricity supply; enjoining an acceptable balance between cost and quality. Italy is the Global Secretariat. Starting 2025 we change our approach for tracking, and participating, in the IEC catalog; anchoring on the work of the Standards Management Board.
Quadrivium: Spring
Educational settlements should be magical places. The stack informing the beauty of these "cities-within-cities" changes 100 to 1000 times per day globally. Titles are time-sensitive, copyright protected and land in public law. We monitor the action continuously to formulate response to public consultations. Topics appear on our CALENDAR and explored every day at 15:00 UTC. Recommend refresh of this web page once or twice to see timeliest information.
Campus Electric Bulk Distribution
College and university campuses distribute electric energy in tranches of 5 to 500 megawatts; typically at voltages above 1000 VAC and are generally regarded as load-side services. Part III of Article 110, large sections of Chapter 3 and Article 495 of the 2026 National Electrical Code. We examine them during today's colloquium on university-owned underground power distribution downstream from the merchant utility point of common coupling (service point).
Current Issues & Recent Research
Today at the usual hour we summarize the highlights of events and decisions made at the I&CPS Conference in Lexington, Kentucky last week. We always schedule it the week ahead of Mother's Day; our 62nd year.
Hegemon Cuyahoga & County Dublin
We shift our perspective 120 degrees to the point of view of one of several Producer interests in the American national standards system with a fortress balance sheet. The title of this post draws from the location of US and European headquarters. We list proposals by an electrical manufacturer claiming a part of the AI zeitgeist. The May 18 closing stock price of ETN was $381.87. Today we will examine its Electrical Sector solutions segment.
2028 National Electrical Safety Code
Today we review the 15 comments on proposed revisions we submitted to the IEEE Standards Association yesterday.
