Are there any specific wiring instructions for LEDs? LED luminaires can be wired in the same way as our traditional HID luminaires, based on the Voltage required by the luminaire i. Some LED luminaires can accommodate multiple voltages, whereas others are voltage specific.
The voltage range will be noted on the product label. LED Luminaires that have dimming capability may require separate control wires in order to control the output of the luminaire.
Inrush current is one of many characteristics that an Electrical Engineer will take into account when designing an electrical installation.
Is there an inrush current I need to be aware of when providing circuit breakers for my luminaires? Inrush current occurs in all electronic devices due to their electrical characteristics. The magnitude of the inrush current is based on the design of the electronics and the load. This inrush value needs to be provided by the manufacturer of the luminaire in order for an engineer to determine the correct electrical equipment to use in the installation.
Electrical engineers will select breakers and other electrical devices using inrush as one of many variables in order to design an electrical system that will function correctly. If inrush is not considered when selecting and sequencing the installation of breakers, nuisance tripping can occur and, in some cases, fusing of contacts on contactors. It is always recommended to consult an electrical engineering company when designing a crop cultivation facility.
Never assume what voltage you have and always consult with an experienced electrician who can help you make decisions about what voltage to use. Please contact us at info pllight.

In the past year, working live with Volt circuits has cost the industry one life and two serious injuries that resulted in permanent loss of limb. The three young victims were supposedly trained in the hazards of working live. Typically, many industrial and commercial lighting installations operate at volts and do not have individual area switching.
The lack of switching makes it difficult to de-energize the circuit when performing maintenance such as ballast changes. Make it safer for the person servicing the area. You may make it safer for yourself if you have service this same circuit at a later date. Not only it is safe practice, it is also the law.
Plan your work, make arrangements to de-energize circuits at times when they will least affect the occupants. Take special precaution and respect the hazards of electricity; Volt systems are not forgiving. Always treat the neutral as energized unless it has been verified as de-energized.
Always shut off and tag out circuits you are going to be working on. If in doubt, ask. Ensure that all hazards are known and are minimized. When circumstances require working live, minimize all factors that can lead to injuries.
Always use access equipment that is non-conductive and with good insulating properties, such as wooden ladders. Where are you spending now? What money can be redirected to other priorities? Check your credit report. Make sure there are no errors in your report, or servicing debt costs you more than it should. Manage your debt. Making sure you have budgeted enough for mortgages and payments is key. Keep learning! Look for good tools and strategies for saving, budgeting and handling debt.

If workplace bullying and harassment is not addressed, it can lead to lost productivity and has far-reaching effects on the health and well-being of workers, as well as on their job tenure, job stability and job satisfaction. In this two-hour interactive webinar, we will explore: What is bullying and harassment, and how they differ.
The costs of bullying and harassment on people and organizations. Ways to prevent this behaviour and understand what role the organization, and supervisors can play. What to do if you are bullied or harassed. Policy recommendations. And if a complaint is filed, what should the organization do.
While this session is part of a series, participants are not required to attend all sessions in the series or attend in any sequence.
