from the editor
A fter publishing Guest Editors on this page for all of 2014 as a special way of commemorating EBMag’s 50th Anniversary, I must admit... it feels good to be back! There’s always so much to talk
about, but I think the best way to start off the new year (especially because we’ve likely gone broke after the holidays!) is to put the issue of Prompt Payment front and centre.
Prompt Payment Ontario (tinyurl.com/k4rq9me) was recently established upon the ashes (so to speak) of Bill 69 “Prompt Payment Act”—a Private Members Bill introduced in May 2013 by MPP Steven Del Duca that was subsequently kicked around for a year before being “set aside [...] due to the significant concerns raised by the stakeholders and the need for broad consultation”.
(As you may have guessed, that last quote came from the Standing Committee on Regulations and Private Bills... there’s nothing governments like more than “broad consultation”, eh?)
So here’s another quote: “We know the proponents and the opponents [of Prompt Payment], we know their issues, and we know the areas of agreement and disagreement. Why can’t we just get on with it?”.
That’s from Eryl Roberts, executive VP at Electrical Contractors Association of Ontario (ECAO) and one of PPO’s founding directors.
When I met with him in back in the fall, he explained Ontario’s Construction Lien Act (CLA), enacted in
1983, does not deal with payment of money owed from one party to another, or what to do when payments are late.
“The Lien Act deals with security of payment, not the speed of payment,” Eryl explained, adding that most contractors don’t have the time or resources to employ the Lien Act, so while a review of the act would be good, shelving Bill 69 is not.
“The distribution of risk is very key to this conversation,” continued Eryl. One of PPO’s key platforms is that Prompt Payment and Fair Distribution of Risk “cannot be resolved as part of a review of the CLA. They are different things”.
“Just on labour alone, ECAO members have extended over $200 million in revolving credit due to late payment. If we could decrease the age of Receivables by just 30 days, we would see a big improvement. There’s no better way the [Ontario] government could give us economic stimulus,” Eryl concluded.
While in conversation with other professionals across the country, I have heard Prompt Payment movements are afoot in Alberta and British Columbia, but I would like to see the issue addressed all across Canada. People’s livelihoods are too damn important.

Electric-only buses flying in to Winnipeg’s Richardson airportNew Flyer Industries Inc.—a manufacturer of transit buses—announced that Winnipeg Transit will begin daily service using up to four New Flyer Xcelsior battery-electric transit buses.
“We didn’t want an easy route,” said Paul Soubry, New Flyer’s president & CEO. “We encouraged Winnipeg Transit to select a route that would showcase the technological capability of our Xcelsior battery-electric bus in a real-life, in-service situation that will experience a wide range of weather and traffic conditions.”
The buses will be in daily operation on a 40-km, two-hour route starting at Winnipeg Richardson International Airport, making their way through the city centre to East Kildonan and returning to the airport. This route was chosen because its length, speeds and loads are typical of many central business district routes in Canada and the States, says New Flyer.
Winnipeg Airports Authority permitted New Flyer to install a high-power charging station at the airport. At the airport, the bus drives up to the charging station and, while passengers are loading
or disembarking, a roof-mounted pantograph connects with the overhead charger interface, Soubry explained. “After approximately a 10-minute charge, the bus has fully replenished the energy consumed in the previous two-hour route. For added operational flexibility, the battery capacity allows the bus to operate for five hours without recharge and, by charging en route, the bus can maintain service for more than 20 hours a day, seven days a week.”
The project is a continuing collaboration between New Flyer, the Province of Manitoba, Manitoba Hydro, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Red River College and Winnipeg Transit. The project team (which started the effort in May 2011) received additional assistance in October 2012 when Sustainable Development Technology Canada (SDTC) announced funding on behalf of the Government of Canada of $3.4 million to take the project from prototype to full production and field demonstration. In 2014, Manitoba’s Vehicle Technology Centre provided an additional $94,000 for charging station development. Check out the VIDEO at tinyurl.com/qfym6s4.
Liteline enlists Munden Enterprises in Atlantic CanadaLiteline Corp. (www.liteline.com) has teamed up with Halifax’s Munden Enterprises (www.mundenenterprises.com) for representation in Atlantic Canada.
“Tony Munden, president of Munden Enterprises, and his team have built strong relationships with both distributors and end users,” says Liteline, “which will assist Liteline to maintain its commitment to providing excellent products and service to customers within the region.”
Liteline manufactures residential and commercial lighting fixtures, HID security lighting, lamps, die-cast aluminum outdoor boxes, wiring devices, and lenses and louvers.
The Rock’s Western Building Products sentenced for public safety violationsService NL (www.servicenl.gov.nl.ca) says Western Building Products was sentenced November 4 in Corner Brook Provincial Court upon pleading guilty to a violation of the Public
Safety Act & Electrical Regulations.The case arose as the result of an investigation
by Service NL’s western regional office in Corner Brook. In March 2014, Service NL staff investigated unauthorized electrical work on a home, identifying a public safety issue. The company, which had worked on the home, had cut screws off in a meter base so as to install siding behind the base. This practice can cause a safety hazard to anyone who may have to work in the area, as the screws that are cut off may fall into the electrical meter base, says Service NL.
The investigation identified the company responsible and a charge was laid under section 36(1)(a) of the Public Safety Act for allowing an unqualified person/company to do electrical work. The company pleaded guilty to the charge and was ordered to pay $500 in fines and a 30% victim fine surcharge.
Service NL advises the public that every qualified electrician who is conducting electrical work in the province is required to be registered with Service NL, and will have a registration card containing their registration number.

Manitoba’s McKenzie Electric named Employer of the YearThe 8th annual Apprenticeship Awards of Distinction were recently presented, highlighting the dedication and commitment of employers, journeypersons and industry training leaders who have contributed to the success of apprenticeship training in Manitoba.
Congratulations to McKenzie Electric Ltd., which scored an Employer of the Year (Urban) award.
“When employers and industry leaders help an apprentice learn a trade, they’re strengthening that person’s family, neighbourhood and community,” said Kevin Chief, jobs and economy minister. “These awards recognize the many mentors in Manitoba who are making a difference by building a province where, no matter who you are or where you come from, you know you can have a bright future.”
This year marks the 70th anniversary of apprenticeship in Manitoba, noted Chief. He added there are more than 10,000 active apprentices in over 55 designated trades in the province, and almost 30,000 journeypeople have been certified since 1944.
2013 “a particularly tragic year” for electrical-related fatalities, says ESADespite a 33% drop in electrical fatalities in the last five years, the Electrical Safety Authority says Ontarians continue to be injured and killed in electrical incidents (www.esasafe.com).
That’s one of the findings of ESA’s latest annual Ontario Electrical Safety Report, which also notes electrical-related fatalities on the job continue to outpace non-occupational deaths... and this gap is increasing.
“Workers are not changing their behaviour toward electrical risk at the same rate as other Ontarians,” said Scott Saint, chief public safety officer with ESA. “Our research shows that occupational electrical-related fatalities exceed non-occupational deaths by a ratio of close to 3 to 1. Last year it was 2 to 1. This increase is concerning.”
Electrical trade workers are particularly at risk, notes ESA: they continue to be critically injured on the job when working on energized electrical panels or ballasts/347V lighting. ESA research reveals electrical trade workers accounted for 1/4 of occupational electrical-related deaths in the last 10 years.
“Workers are trained to work safely and conduct a site hazard assessment of each job they’re working on, but investigations show that, in many cases, [they] don’t carry out the correct safety actions,” added Saint. “We need to understand why they skip critical safety steps, and then find ways to change workers’ behaviour.”
Powerline contact continues to be an area of concern, notes ESA, accounting for almost half of all
electrical-related fatalities in the past 10 years. Each year, three people die and five are critically injured due to contact with overhead powerlines.
While there has been a decline over the past few years in rates of electrical-related injuries and fatalities, 2013 was a particularly tragic year, where there were nine electrical-related fatalities (there were only two in 2012). There were also nine deaths from electrical-related fires in 2013 compared to five in 2012.

GE opens “advanced” MCCB manufacturing lab in Connecticut
GE’s Industrial Solutions business celebrated the grand opening of its new Advanced Manufacturing Lab (AML) in Plainville, Conn., where “sophisticated robotics and automated manufacturing systems” will design and build production lines for the new GuardEon moulded case circuit breaker (MCCB) platform.
“The new lab is another example of GE’s investment in the future of our electrical distribution business to better serve our customers,” said Bob Gilligan, CEO of GE’s Industrial Solutions business.
Within the next 24 months, GE says it will “completely reinvent and revitalize” its MCCB offering to provide a “modern, comprehensive, global industrial circuit breaker portfolio”.
Yukon Energy advancing toward 5-10MW wind farmYukon Energy (www.yukonenergy.ca) has announced plans to complete the work necessary to select a site for a 5-10MW wind farm in the territory.
“We recognize that wind is a valuable option in our energy toolbox,” said president Andrew Hall. “It is renewable, can be developed in a reasonable time frame, and is scalable. We see this as an appropriate mid-scale solution to meet the territory’s mid-term electricity needs.”
Starting next year, the corporation will install wind monitoring equipment on Mount Sumanik near Whitehorse, which will allow the utility to gather a full year of wind data at the site. The information, explains the company, will be similar in scope to that gathered at Tehcho (formerly Ferry Hill) near Stewart Crossing—another possible wind farm site.
Once the corporation has data from both
sites, it can update its energy yield and cost estimates for the development of similar-sized wind farms at those two locations. It can then choose the best site to take forward for more detailed engineering and assessment work.
“Since wind power is intermittent, it is challenging to integrate as an energy source into an isolated grid such as ours,” Hall added. “That’s why, as a key part of this work, we will be taking a close look at the integration of wind energy into our system and assessing different technologies and options for firming up wind supply.”
Historically, the options available in the territory included diesel backup and hydro spinning reserve, explains the utility, but it will now consider some emerging technologies, such as large-scale batteries, compressed air storage and ultracapacitors. Integration with options such as pump storage and electrical thermal storage will also be reviewed as part of the study.
Over the next 18 months, Yukon Energy says it plans to engage with First Nations, stakeholders and members of the public on key topics related to this work.
Yukon Energy currently has two wind turbines on Haeckel Hill in the Whitehorse area: 150kW Bonus and 600kW Vestas. The Bonus has reached the end of its life and will be decommissioned next year, but it will not be replaced. Instead, Yukon Energy will focus on doing the work necessary to have a wind project of between 5-10MW “shelf-ready” so it can be built once the “load growth develops and other relevant conditions are met”.
Schneider and Awesense partner to reduce distribution lossesSchneider Electric (www.schneider-electric.com) and Awesense Inc. (www.awesense.com) have agreed to combine their expertise to design and propose integrated solutions that will enable utilities to “reduce ongoing grid losses and recover lost revenue, helping them achieve more reliable and profitable distribution grids”.
“We are very excited to partner with Schneider Electric in tackling the problem of unidentified losses,” noted Mischa Steiner-Jovic, CEO of Awesense. “Utilities lose over $200 billion each year to distribution losses, which has an enormous impact on the environment and the economic performance
of power companies everywhere.”Schneider develops, manufactures and sells
electrical distribution, critical power supply and control equipment, as well as network automation and grid management software. Awesense develops products and software for increased grid efficiency by identifying losses, reducing risk of overloads, leveraging data from assets and reducing revenue recovery time from metering errors or electricity theft.
This agreement enables Schneider to inte-grate and sell Awesense’s True Grid Intelligence (TGI) cloud software and line sensors, as well as associated engineering and technical services.
This solution identifies losses on all grid topologies with overhead or underground conductors. Awesense will benefit from Schneider’s commercial footprint with utility partners across the globe, and teams engaged in network efficiency.
FLIR receives “favourable verdict” in Raytheon lawsuitFLIR Systems Inc.—a global player in the design, manufacture and marketing of sensor systems that “enhance perception and awareness”—and its subsidiary, Indigo Systems Corp., say they have received a “favourable verdict” in a lawsuit by Raytheon Corp.
“Today’s finding from the jury confirmed our belief that Raytheon’s lawsuit was wholly without merit,” said Andy Teich, FLIR president and CEO. “We look forward to having this case behind us...”
FLIR says a jury in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas rejected Raytheon’s allegations that, prior to its acquisition by FLIR in 2004, Indigo and FLIR misappropriated 31 trade secrets owned by Raytheon, a company specializing in defence, security and other government markets.
According to FLIR, the jury determined that 27 of the 31 alleged trade secrets were not, in fact, plaintiff trade secrets, and that neither FLIR nor Indigo (now known as FLIR Commercial Systems Inc.) misappropriated any of 31 trade secrets that were claimed.
No damages were awarded against FLIR and Indigo, says FLIR, adding the court will decide whether to award FLIR and Indigo their attorney fees.

“We value our relationship with ConocoPhillips Canada,” said Dr. Glenn Feltham, president and CEO of Northern Alberta Institute of Technology (www.nait.ca), adding this collaboration supports “one of our most in-demand programs”: Power Engineering Technology.
“Investing in post-secondary education programs is about so much more than writing cheques,” said Ken Lueers, president of ConocoPhillips Canada and a NAIT alumnus. “It’s about providing real opportunities for students to gain practical skills to be successful. And if we can assist in facilitating that, while simultaneously investing in research that supports our focus on responsible development, that’s the best win-win situation we could ask for.”

Smart meter rollout “did not meet the high standards” SaskPower admitsThe smart meter rollout in Saskatchewan “did not meet the high standards that customers have come to expect of SaskPower or SaskPower’s own standards” the utility admitted after receiving a copy of a report examining its smart meter program—part of the formal review conducted by independent consultants—that refers to eight unusual meter failures that resulted in overheating or melting on or at the meter site.
The smart meter provider, Sensus, defended its meters, pointing to contributing external factors, such as water intrusion due to holes in meter boxes, hot socket conditions in the meter box and over-voltage in the distribution system (tinyurl.com/ke4jyzu).
“SaskPower employees are working hard to address the challenges faced with the smart meter program,” said Bill Boyd, minister responsible for SaskPower. “This report provides valuable insight as to where gaps existed. We will be implementing changes accordingly over the next few days.”
SaskPower (www.saskpower.com) will now examine each aspect of the CIC review and take recommendations forward as planning for new smart meters continues in the next several years. SaskPower previously reached an agreement with the meter manufacturer that will assist with the pursuit of a smart grid for the province.
Great hazardous location article, but what about NFPA 820?
I just received my Electrical Business magazine, which I look forward to each month. The article on hazardous areas is of great interest to our group (“The 2015 CE Code has no class”, EBMag November 2014).
I have been working in the wastewater field for the past 30 years, and feel that I’m quite familiar with the classification of these areas.
Generally, we deal with Class 1, Division 1, Group D (Division 2), and are currently using NFPA 820 “Standard for Fire Protection in Wastewater Treatment and Collection Facilities” to determine these classifications. Unfortunately, NFPA 820 does not recognize the Zone system and, therefore, we are forced to use the Class + Division system in our designs.
Please do a follow-up article to “The 2015 CE Code has no class”, and discuss the impact of NFPA and any ruling that Electrical Safety Authority may have in this regard.
On a side note, our office has had many discussions on the impact of NFPA 820
due to what we consider “over-classifying” and the related increase in cost for clients. These costs are increased due to the amount of Class 1-Div 1 components required and/or the amount of air changes and associated mechanical equipment (supply/exhaust/heating). The increase in mechanical equipment means the operating costs for our facilities is also increasing.
At a time when we are trying to find energy savings for our clients, we appear to be doing the exact opposite.

Any validity to OACETT salary survey?The news item “OACETT 2014 salary survey shows designations equal more cash” garnered some interesting Comments at EBMag.com (tinyurl.com/lqqcuhm).
“The salary for CET is not $80,000, it is only $60,000... All people I contacted are not getting more than $60,000.”
— Daljeet
“Salary varies depending on location. I was a CET in Toronto and my base was 80k, and now I’m in Ottawa with a base of 71k.”
— Jason
“If you read the whole survey you can see that it is skewed towards R&D not design or manufacturing, which 90% of us college grads do. $75 is too high, $65 is more believable. I’ve had three employers since graduating almost 15 years ago and have talked to many other employers through work, none of whom care about OACETT or their designations.”

Ontario’s Electrical Safety Authority (www.esasafe.com) has appointed Nansy Hanna to the new role of director, engineering & pro-gram development. (You may recognize her from the back page of EBMag, where she is a
Code File columnist.) Nansy will lead a group whose responsibilities include product safety, code development, improving harmonization with international standards, accountability for specific alternative compliance wiring pro-grams, accountability for worker safety, and aging infrastructure programs. Hanna joined ESA in 2009 and has spent the last five years as the engineering manager. She is a LEED-Ac-credited Professional, and a member of CE Code-Part I, Sections 24, 32, 46, 50 and 64.
Liteline Corp. (www.liteline.com) announced the retirement of “one of the most dedicated and depend-able members” of its team: Joe Nobrega. Joe has amassed over 43 years in the elec-trical industry, says Liteline, including the last 15 years as national sales manager with
the company. Joe’s immediate plans include spending time with his family, travelling, photography and practicing his golf swing. “We at Liteline would like to congratulate Joe on all his success, and thank him for his guid-ance and diligent service through the years,” says the company.
Congratulations to Kevin Holm and Stefan Portmann with Atomic Energy of Canada(www.aecl.ca), who were recently recognized by AECL for their work in improving electrical safety within the organization, and reducing the number of near misses.
Specifically, Kevin (electrical designer) and Stef (manager, electrical maintenance) were sin-gled out “for their leadership and development of an implementation plan to improve electrical safety across the AECL site. They guided senior management and staff to significantly advance our electrical safety program rapidly towards industry best practice”.
Their role in updating electrical safety pro-cesses, personal protection practices and train-ing has helped AECL move toward industry best practice with a reduction of safety events,
says the organization. “This achievement aligns with AECL’s goal to ‘ensure employee safety and well-being’.”
AECL went on to say “Their personal convic-tion to achieve much-higher standards for the broad and far-reaching electrical safety activities across AECL is a testament to their personal integrity and strong desire to make a different in safety for all AECL employees”.
CSA Group’s (www.csagroup.org) president & CEO, Ash Sahi, is retiring this year. “I feel privileged to have led CSA Group and feel confident that the organization is well-pos-itioned for continued growth and success,” said Sahi. Together with Sahi, the board will conduct the process to choose a successor, and will consider internal and external candidates for the job.
Carlo Gavazzi (www.gavazzionline.com) has promoted Michael Grant to regional industrial sales manager for Ontario. Michael joined Gavazzi in December 2013 as account manager for Western Ontario. In his new role, he will be
managing, mentoring and coaching the Ontario sales team and their activities in the region.
Greenlee (www.greenlee.com) has named Jeff Smith director engineering, and Josh Jacobs director product management. Smith will support existing product lines, manage the design of new products and assume responsibility for the engineering staff. Jacobs will focus solely on leading the product management team to build a “rich pipeline of game-changing new products while reducing time to market”.
Cable rejuvenator Novinium(www.novinium.com) has hired Wade Pfeiffer as the com-pany’s new senior vice-presi-dent of sales & marketing. Pfeiffer has over over 20 years of sales, services, technology and operations experience,
says the company. He previously served as president & CEO of Safeharbor Knowledge Solutions, and has held senior-level positions at nGenera Corp., Talisma Corp., X10 USA Inc. and Orca Monitoring.
The Canadian Electricity Association’s (www.electricity.ca) board has announced the appointment of Sergio Marchi as president and CEO effect-ive February 9, replacing Jim Burpee, who informed the board last year of his intention
to retire. Marchi is currently the principal of the Marchi Group, a global strategies consultancy based in Switzerland.”
Appleton Group LLC (www.appletonelec.com) has appointed Harish Shinde to vice-president Canada, where he is responsible for Canadian sales, marketing and operations functions. Shinde joined Emer-son in 2011 as director, plan-ning for commercial industrial
solutions where he was responsible for global strategic planning for the business group.).
Chris Bell finds oldest Klein side-cutting pliers in Canada
Klein Tools (www.kleintools.com) set out to find Canada’s oldest pair of Klein side-cutting pliers, and ended up finding them in Winnipeg, Man., with the great-grandson of an employee of The Northern Electric Co.
Electrician Chris Bell is the winner of a search that started back in October; his submission of a pair of 1911 side-cutting pliers earned him $2500 (though they originally sold for $3.50 in 1911). The pliers are still in good working condition.
The winning pliers were selected by Klein’s engineering team based on the tool being the standard side-cutting type, and bearing an ori-ginal Klein trademark and ‘code markings’ on the inside of the handle.

Team Schneider Electric raises over $54k for 24h TremblantOnce again, employees of Schneider Electric (www.schneider-electric.com/ca) participated in Tremblant’s 24h Ski, helping the charitable sporting event surpass its 2013 fundraising objective of $2 million.
Those funds are directed to Fondation Centre de cancérologie Charles-Bruneau, Ottawa Senators Foundation, Fondation Martin-Matte and La Fondation Tremblant—all of which are devoted to children.
“It was with great pleasure and enthusiasm that Schneider Electric took part for the fifth year in this great adventure [...] with the involvement and devotion of 48 employees,” said Schneider’s Monique Ross Lanoue, adding that Schneider employees have raised about $130,000 over five years of participation.

PhoToS • Electro-Federation Canada’s year-end Christmas receptions are a great way to connect (or reconnect)
with the people who comprise Canada’s manufacturers, distributors and sales agencies. As in years past, the folks from Canadian Feed the Children were on-hand to push good will toward Power2Feed, which has raised more than $1 million dollars to help feed hungry children. Visit tinyurl.com/l92sqe2.
PhoToS • O’Neil Electric Supply Ltd.’s latest instalment of “Veal on O’Neil” was an extra-special occasion
because it not only heralded the approach of the company’s 50th anniversary in 2015, but kicked off a new two-year campaign to raise $100,000 in support of SickKids. O’Neil invites its customers, suppliers, employees and industry friends to make any contribution—which the company will match 100%—until its fundraising goal is reached.

As many electrical contractors are discov-ering, prefabrication (a.k.a. prefab) offers opportunities for material and labour savings by using an assembly
line-approach from manufacturing and apply-ing it to the construction industry.
By standardizing a product and building it offsite, contractors can streamline the assembly process (labour savings) and shorten the installation time (labour savings), as well as reduce the amount of general materials required on the jobsite (material savings) and the amount of time required to handle, store and search for parts and pieces by installers (labour savings).
There’s not much that cannot be prefabricated with enough time, forethought and creativity. Typically, electrical contractors start off with simple assemblies with a few parts, such as pipe racks, duct banks, fixture & device boxes, and fixtures with whips or cords. These are great time-savers and allow contractors to see a measureable return on investment on a small scale.
As contractors get more comfortable with prefab, they begin to expand their repertoire and experiment with more complicated assemblies. On a recent high-rise project, we started prefabrication during the pre-construction stage. The project manager, superintendent and key leadmen met for a day and brainstormed all the different things they could prefabricate, and the list was impressive. Here are two of the creative ideas we implemented early on:
Busway blockouts with integrated curbsNot only did these save time on the installation side, they provided uniform blockouts in the slabs for the two bus risers, and eliminated the need to go back later and lay out curbs for the concrete contractor to pour (Photos 1 and 2).
Unit subfeeds embedded in the slabThis resulted in huge time and materials savings. Instead of routing large MC cable unit subfeeds overhead through the corridors during the rough stage, we put 1.5-in. ENT in the slabs
from the electrical closet to the residential unit panel locations. We installed GRC 90s at both ends to protect them from being damaged. We also installed a 12 x 12 x 48-in. wireway on the 90s in the electrical closet, which helped reduce the amount of time required to connect to the meter stacks that were installed several months later when the building was dried in.
These are just two of the creative prefab ideas our team developed, and both con-tributed toward the labour and material savings goals on the project. So now it’s your turn!

The 3rd edition of CSA Z462 “Workplace electrical safety” should be available for purchase through CSA’s
website (shop.csa.ca) in hard copy and PDF versions around the second week of January 2015.
Over the next few months, I am going to explore some of the more impactful and interesting changes in this edition but, for now, I want you to know about the main changes in simple terms using this CSA-based list:
•CSAZ462-15reflectsamajorshift toward risk assessment, and four new definitions have been added to Clause 3: “Hazard, Hazardous, Risk, and Risk Assessment”. The definitions harmonize with other safety standards, such as CSA Z1000 and Z1002.
•Therequirementtoestablishan electrical safety program has been moved forward to the front of Clause 4 to emphasize this key organizational component of electrical safety.
•Theelectricalsafetyprogrammust now include elements
that consider the condition of equipment, and its maintenance.
•Thehierarchyofriskcontrolfound in CSA Z1000 and CSA Z1002 has been added to the requirements for risk assessment and risk mitigation. It has also been added to the training requirements for qualified persons.
•Auditsoffieldworktoverifycompliance with the procedures of the electrical safety program must be performed at intervals not exceeding one year.
•TheNominalSystemVoltagerange in Table 1A: Approach boundaries for AC systems has been revised in the second row from 50-300vac to 50-150vac. The range in the third row has been correspondingly revised from 301-750vac to 151-750vac.
•Thereisnowachoicebetweenusing either incident energy analysis or the arc flash PPE category method (but not both) for determining the personal protective equipment required for a piece of equipment.
•Field-markedequipmentlabel-ling requirements were revised to require the label to be updated when the arc flash hazard risk assessment identifies a change that renders the label inaccur-ate. The owner of the electrical equipment has been made responsible for the documenta-tion, installation and mainten-ance of the field-marked label.
•Therequirementprohibitingthe wearing of conductive articles has been clarified as it applies to the restricted approach boundary, or where the articles present an electrical contact hazard.
•TheHazard/RiskCategoryMethod has been revised to “Arc Flash PPE Category Method”. Table 4A has been split into two tables: Table 4A “Arc-flash hazard identification” and Table 4B “Arc-flash PPE categories for AC systems”. Table 4B has become Table 4C “Arc-flash PPE categories for DC systems”.
Table 4A is now used solely to identify when arc flash PPE is likely to be required. When Table

CSA Z462-15 shifts gears to “risk assessment”
Mike Doherty
4A indicates arc flash PPE is required, then Table 4B/4C is used to identify the category of PPE required.
The PPE categories identified in Tables 4A and 4B are based on specific listed minimum working distance, maximum fault current, and maximum fault clearing time parameters. Tables 4B and 4C continue to identify an Arc Flash Boundary distance for each type of equipment.
And just a few more...
• Prohibited ApproachBoundary eliminated.
• Expanded requirements forGFCI protection.
• Job planning to includetemporary protective grounding.
• “Category 0” eliminated.• Use of insulated tools within
the Restricted Approach Boundary.
• Placement of barricades.• Requirement for risk
assessment prior to cutting or drilling.
• Equipment owner isresponsible for maintenance.
• Requirement for riskassessment prior to work on battery systems.
• Harmonization of Annex F(Risk Assessment Procedure) with CSA Z1002.
• New Annex Section on human performance and electrical safety.
Hopefully, this list will help you determine where you are in your workplace electrical safety efforts, and where to focus your attention as we transitions to CSA Z462-15. As always, Z462 should be used in its entirety—not just in small sections.
A well-known subject-matter expert and speaker on electrical safety, Mike Doherty is a health & safety manager/consultant with PowerTel Utilities Contractors Ltd. He is a licensed electrician and an IEEE senior member. Mike has served as the Technical Committee chair for CSA Z462 since its inception in 2006. His specialties include electrical safety and health & safety management, consulting, training, auditing and electrical incident investigations. Mike can be reached at [email protected].

With IN BOX™ there are no extra parts to purchase or handle. You’ll save big on labor and materials.
One-piece IN BOX, the recessed electrical box for exterior use, eliminates installing multiple pieces – an electrical box, bubble cover assembly and a siding block on siding. The job looks great because IN BOX installs in the wall – so less shows outside. It’s that simple.
Cost savings. Time savings. A great-looking job.
• Non-metallic, 22.0 cu. inch electrical box with extra duty weatherproof-in-use clear or white cover
• Single and two-gang, vertical and horizontal, for a variety of applications in new and old work

Looking past paper reduction for value in mobile workforce systemsJo

www.EBMag.com • January 2015 • 41
T hese days, the world of geographic information systems (GIS) is abound with articles discussing the advantages of a mobile workforce, the value of remote connectivity, the benefits of reducing paper, and so on.
But these are just offshoots of the core value of having a mobile GIS-enabled workforce, and why every utility should take advantage of the benefits mobility offers. The real value is making the process of data collection and management so simple and streamlined that the workforce—and the enterprise—can maintain focus on the primary responsibility of keeping the lights on.
Much more than transitioning from paperIt’s no secret that reducing the reliance on paper is a primary goal for utilities of all shapes and sizes. Paper is slow. Paper is unsecure. In short, paper is the old way of doing business. Digital records are easy to maintain, update, integrate and travel with, making them the low-hanging fruit for a utility to go mobile.
But how significant is a solution that saves a few trees if it doesn’t add value to the data collection process (or the data itself) and takes more time, money and energy to implement and use than the old system? Utilities, along with most other GIS stakeholders, will hold back from going mobile if it’s burdensome.
The sweet spot for mobile workforce solutions that all utilities can and should strive are applications that add value in several key areas without making users feel like they’re spending more time entering data than they are addressing the work order they were sent to resolve. The marketplace for mobile solutions has come a long way, and every utility can look beyond basic paper reduction to find value worth adopting.
Focusing on the work while collecting the dataLook no further than storm restoration to note the value of the right mobile workforce solution.
When responding to major storm damage, hundreds of things are happening at once. Crews are being dispatched over wide swaths of territory; customer reports and distribution network telemetry data are constantly updating the response picture; and repairs or replacements are changing the character of the distribution network in a matter of days, if not hours.
But because the number one goal of everyone involved is to get the lights back on as quickly and safely as possible, anything that slows that process—including data collection—goes out the window. That has historically been the problem with paper systems, and can be the same with the wrong kind of mobile workforce solution. Changes to the network are made yet never recorded and, later, when a crew is dispatched to replace a pole that everyone believes to be 30-years old, they find that it was recently replaced during the storm response. In this case, long-term efficiency was sacrificed for the short-term goal.
A mobile workforce application that is complicated to use, or isn’t able to provide data in a timely or effective manner, yields the same results. Luckily, solutions exist that resolve these issues and provide utilities the right functionality to focus not only on getting the work done, but doing so smarter and more efficiently.
Better, faster, more accurate decisionsFor the typical utility, work orders are generated from a number of different systems. Compliance, maintenance inspections, damage response and other work orders are often pushed out to the field by separate systems that all end up in the truck—either in a stack of paper or in a mobile application. Many of these systems have their own applications so, even in a paperless world, field workers may still be faced with operating multiple mobile applications to review work orders and record data.
The right mobile solution consolidates the orders into a single application, making it easier for the worker to use, reducing the training burden for implementation and lowering the total cost of

ownership. Ultimately, this makes the response and entering of data more accurate and speedier. One of the biggest value points of today’s mobile workforce solutions is that it allows data to travel faster than the truck.
Of course, this speed works both ways. One of the tremendous values of the mobile workforce is that, in addition to data coming back in real-time, additional work orders can be sent out without crews needing to return to the home office, reducing overall windshield time.
This real-time communication ensures that, whether in an emergency situation like storm response or simply making budget decisions for network resiliency, utilities are always able to make decisions with the most up-to-date and accurate information.
In addition to consolidating work orders from operations systems, mobile solutions also can integrate with back office workforce management systems. This provides important information on how long it takes crews to complete various tasks and can improve the overall scheduling and resource management of crews.
In the end, mobile workforce solutions create a single, secure channel to communicate important data from the field at real-time speed to support
better decisions and resource management by the utility.
Always updating, no matter where you areWhen connected to a wireless network, data updates from the field to the back office instantly, and vice versa. But what about in remote areas, or when the wireless network goes down... where’s the value of a mobile workforce solution in that scenario?
Despite the fact that the data may not be immediately transmitted, a system with the flexibility to take data and make updates offline provides critical continuity to the digital record, especially for utilities with rural service areas. Data can be downloaded from any area where connectivity exists, then taken offline to the area where work needs to be completed, removing the need for a crew to travel all the way back to the home office to receive new information or work orders. Similarly, data can be recorded and stored offline, then uploaded as soon as connectivity is restored, again reducing any need for paper records and maintaining one seamless record.
Thus, even for utilities with remote service areas, utilizing a single, user-friendly mobile solution provides significant efficiency, accuracy and security to workforce and data management
so crews can focus resources on maintaining service.
Preserving the workforce with easy-to-use solutionsThe value proposition for simple, fast and accurate mobile solutions may be most clear for utilities when it comes to managing turnover and training of personnel.
It’s a common theme throughout the energy industry: a generation of workers is nearing retirement, and with them will go decades of experience and knowledge. This leaves utilities facing the dual question of how to preserve the institutional knowledge and expertise of the Baby Boomer generation while minimizing the expense of training a new generation of workers.
The right mobile solution can provide the answer to these challenges on multiple fronts. In the past, utilities were able to survive slow, out-of-date or inaccurate data management because they maintained a workforce that simply knew the network; they knew the repairs and replacements that had been made, they knew how to estimate the time of completion for a given project, and they knew the correct prioritizations for responding to outages. This is how utilities survived a data management system with marginal functionality.

With that knowledge increasingly draining from the ranks, mobile solutions that allow for the fast and accurate gathering of data from the field help ensure the institutional knowledge exists in the utility’s server. Newer workers can draw on that data, as can more intelligent workforce management systems that use such data to develop work order scheduling and prioritization models.
New mobile solutions are not only designed to provide a single platform for field workers, but also function with intuitive, familiar interfaces to minimize training needs. By developing platforms that are user-friendly, utilities are able to quickly put the application in the hands of workers throughout the utility.
For example, in the event of a major storm response, mutual assistance crews could be put into the field quickly with mobile solutions, saving precious hours that, in the past, would have gone into training or less-efficient response.
In addition, many of today’s mobile field solutions are designed for simple operation so that even someone not trained in GIS can be an asset. In the instance of redlining, for example, even someone untrained in GIS can be sent into the field to survey assets and make notations in the mobile application with a system as easy as marking a paper map. This allows utilities to be significantly more flexible and responsive, at less cost.
The mobile age for utilities is hereAs with so many other industries, mobile technology has created a new reality of advantages that utilities cannot afford to ignore. And similar to how other industries have worked to adapt to the ever-growing value proposition of mobile technology, utilities need to see beyond the basic premise of using mobile solutions to move away from paper. While significant in its principle, the true value of mobile technology is realized in its ease-of-use and ability to deliver data quickly and accurately throughout the enterprise so utilities can maximize the resources focused on providing reliable service. Utilities that are able to capitalize on this will truly be living in the mobile age.

T he Canadian Truck King Challenge has concerned itself with real-world pickup truck testing since 2006—and
still does. Over the past few years, however, a one-of-a-kind metamorphosis has taken place in the commercial van market in Canada... one that simply had to be investigated more closely.
Once we approached the manufacturers about doing our brand of testing on their products, they wholeheartedly agreed.
Commercial van landscape has changedFor those of you who buy and use commercial vans, well, you already know the landscape has changed. For most everyone else, let me just say that what has happened to the traditional low-roof North American box van (e.g. Ford E-series) is a European invasion.
Starting with Mercedes Benz several years ago, we saw the arrival of the Sprinter with its distinctive high-roof and diesel engine. What followed was Ford product, designed and built in Europe, in the form of the smaller Transit Connect and now the full-size Transit. Quick
on the heels of these two are the Ram ProMaster vans. Badged as Ram, they started life as Fiats. They, too, bring a diesel powertrain, as well as gas and a unique front-wheel drive design.
From the other side of the globe, Nissan brought a built-in North America van: the NV. Gas-powered and with various roof heights, it’s a competitor to all the builders mentioned so far. Nissan has also offered up a smaller FWD van: the NV200.
How were they evaluated?Six judges evaluated these vans over two days in Fall 2014. Each judge is an automotive journalist, a member of the Automotive Journalists Association of Canada (AJAC) and someone who spends a substantial portion of their working year evaluating trucks, vans and vehicles that have to work to earn their keep. But that pedigree alone is not enough: we drove the vans empty at the start, then loaded them up with payload and, finally, replicated downtown deliveries.
In total, we drove over 1600 km while testing.

We used roofing shingles for payload, supplied by IKO and loaded at Roof Mart.
When it comes to commercial vans, North American customers have already felt the effects of the European invasion.

We used roofing shingles for payload: 3070 lb on a single pallet for the full-size vans and 1040 lb for the three smaller ones. These were supplied by IKO and loaded at Roof Mart in Brampton, Ont.
The following day we did something rather new to the Challenge. We ran a very small route through a congested downtown that took in laneways, parking lots and alleys, and spent spent a bit of time with each van backing into narrow docks. This exercise helped us determine how well the mirrors were set up and the sightlines on each vehicle, and to get a feel for how they steered in tight quarters. Each judge scored each van based on his own observations.
While scoring how well a vehicle drives and handles can be seen as a very subjective process, determining fuel economy is not. We engaged a Kitchener, Ont. company (MyCarma) to install electronic data readers in each of the vans to record fuel consumption over the two-day test period. These results are as ‘real-world’ as it gets. The readers run constantly, and the results
are a blend of the driving styles of all six judges who circulated through the vans on a rotating basis. We tried to break out the fuel numbers according to when the vans were empty, loaded and during the low-speed simulated downtown delivery segment.
Crossing the Finish LineSo after all was said and done, the Ford Transit came out on top for the full-size vans, while the Nissan NV200 squeaked out a win in the smaller category. And how did that happen? Well, the answer is in the details. Take a look at our competitors and how the judges scored them: therein lies the story. So who were our competitors?
Ford Transit 250The Transit was born and raised in Europe and Asia, but is now also being built in Kansas City, Mo. It’s a typical front engine, rear-wheel drive configuration. Ford says the Transit will average 25% better fuel economy than the current E-series, which has now ceased production. Variations of this include three body lengths,

two wheelbases, three roof heights, and bodies that include van, wagon, chassis cab and cutaway variations. Each engine is paired with an automatic six-speed transmission.
Ford Transit ConnectIntroduced in 2009, this small van really started the trickle that has become the flood of new van product here in Canada. The Transit Connect got a nice makeover late last year, taking it into this model year: it got two new engines, a tow package, two wheelbases and new trims. You can order it with second-row seating, rear-view camera, 6.5-in. touchscreen display with navigation, and SYNC with MyFord Touch. Ford suggests the 1.6L EcoBoost I-4 will get you into the 7.8L/100km range. (We tested both an EcoBoost and a naturally aspired engine).
Mercedes Benz SprinterThis year, Sprinter has an updated body that features a higher nose, larger grille louvers and new options like Bi-Xenon headlamps. Along with the body update, the V6 BlueTec diesel gets a new base engine partner: the 2.1L I-4 turbodiesel. This engine is said to get a combined fuel rating of 8.9L/100km. Mercedes has also added five new assistance systems to the Sprinter to help drivers avoid accidents. Last, but most interesting, a 4WD option is now available on these vans (sadly, not available to us at the time of the Challenge).
Ram ProMasterThe new Ram ProMaster will cover consumers’ needs with a variety of body styles and weight categories (1500, 2500, and 3500) in van, chassis cab and cutaway versions. However, unlike the Mercedes and Ford, it is a FWD powertrain, which gives it a lower, flat cargo floor. The two ProMasters we had for testing were both built with the 3.6L Pentastar V6 gas engine. The ProMaster is also offered with a 3L I4 EcoDiesel. This version was not available at the time of testing, which is too bad, as we were very curious to see how it would have stacked up against Ford and Mercedes.
Nissan NV200The NV200 is going up against the Ford Transit Connect and the Ram ProMaster City. Unlike the
others, it has already scored a market by being named the preferred taxi of New York City. Its small, FWD platform lends itself to fleets and individual business functions. Its low pricing is certainly an advantage.
Opportunities for next year’s ChallengeThese were our competitors, which formed a very nice field, but a couple of vehicles were missing, for one reason or another. I am referring to the full-size Nissan NV, the diesel ProMaster and ProMaster City (the smaller ProMaster version meant to do battle with
the Transit Connect and NV200). As for GM, well, they are offering a rebadged NV200 as the Chevrolet City Express for its small van market (we felt this entry would have been redundant). And, finally, GM still offers its full-size Savana and Express vans.

T here are many documented instances of damage to critical electrical equipment caused by wildlife activity.
For example, $300,000 of damage was caused by a squirrel to the electrical equipment at a community centre in Fort Wayne, Ind., causing a power surge that impacted the heating and air-conditioning system, and some parts of a boiler system.
In another case, a building owner explained that, “on a walk-through with the contractor, we saw locations on the third floor where damage was being caused to cabling by rats living under the floor”. The contractor has begun testing and found locations where the cable failed Cat 5 testing due to being eaten by the rats.
Understanding the behaviour of pests—including mosquitos, bees, snakes, rodents, ants, etc.—is essential for helping electrical and mechanical professionals design cable, pipe and conduit penetrations that are protected against infestation.
Understanding those pestsBoth rats and mice can run along or climb electrical wires, pipes, fences, poles, ropes, cables, vines, shrubs and trees to gain entry to a building. They can climb almost any rough vertical surface, such as wood, brick, concrete, weathered sheet metal and many plastic products, and can crawl horizontally along or through pipes, augers, conveyors, conduit, and underground utility and communications lines. These pests also gnaw through a variety of materials, including lead and aluminum sheeting, window screens, wood, rubber, vinyl, fiber glass, plastic, and low-quality concrete or concrete block.
While rats and mice are known for entering buildings and causing damage to cabling and other electrical components, there are other pests, such as snakes and ants, that also find it easy to enter unprotected buildings, pipes and enclosures, increasing the risk of potential damage. Once inside a building or enclosure, snakes and ants are potential causes of power

outages, short circuits and clogged switching mechanisms.
Snakes enter buildings when habitat conditions are suitable inside. They are particularly attracted to dark, damp, cool areas that are found in many structures, and to rodents and insects that may have already entered the building. Crawling on electrical lines or wrapping around wires is a common behaviour of snakes that can potentially lead to damage and power outages.
All openings 1/4-in. and larger should be sealed to exclude snakes. The corners of doors and windows, water pipe entrances and electrical service entrances and enclosures should all inspected and properly sealed.
It is a natural behaviour of ants to forage their way into spaces they find, which can cause damage to electrical systems in a number of ways. One way ants cause damage is by building nests once they find their way into electrical housings or pipes. The ants bring in dirt and other debris, which causes moisture buildup in proximity to wires and controls. This moisture eventually leads to corrosion and system damage.
Another common problem with ants in electrical units is when ants become exposed to an open switching mechanism and get shocked. When shocked, the ants begin a behaviour of waving their abdomen (gaster flagging), which releases pheromones to attract ants to come to the rescue. Of course, as more ants arrive, they also get shocked, causing a continual buildup around switches and controls, leading to malfunction.
According to “Ants and Their Affinity for Electrical Utilities”, costs associated with fire ant dam-ages to electrical and communica-tions equipment totalled $146.5 million per year in Texas alone.
Guard those entry pointsTo prevent pests from entering and causing such damage, it is necessary to properly protect buildings and equipment. The various types of materials used in construction make some buildings more susceptible to pest infestation than others. For example, metal and concrete structures may be less susceptible than wood ones. Many buildings also become susceptible to infestation due to deterioration, renovation/alteration and repair.
Even new buildings are susceptible to pest infestation,
for a number of reasons. There are usually openings in utility pipes, water and gas lines, communications cables and electrical conduit at meters and circuit breakers that are large enough to permit the entry of a variety of pests. The electrical, plumbing, HVAC and sprinkler systems are the most common entry points for rodents.
Products and materials com-monly used to seal openings—such as neoprene seals and spray-in foam—are not rodent-proof. Once rodents have entered a structure, they generally have access to the entire building through passage-ways for cables, pipes and conduits that are integrated into the walls and ceilings.
Knowledge of pest behaviour, as
well as awareness of the vulnerable parts of a structure, will allow for the necessary planning to prevent the costly damage caused by rodent infestation. The best method of defence is specifying the best sealing solution to exclude pests right from the start.

B uilding information modelling (BIM) is a 3-D design, modelling and simulation technology for the architectural, engineering and construction industries. While not new (elements of it have been around for several years), it is an important initiative that is
changing standard practice in architecture today. So what does BIM do?Primarily, BIM is a shared knowledge resource between everyone
involved in the design process—architects, engineers, interiors people, and other contractors and sub-vendors, including audiovisual professionals—for information about a facility and the building materials it incorporates.
The building industry has embraced the evolution of 2-D drawings and analogue text to digital electronic imagery and information. For architects, BIM is a very useful tool, as the technology allows them to be better designers; they can deliver projects faster, easier, greener, on time and, often, under budget. Other beneficiaries of BIM include facility owners, planners, appraisers, estimators, environmentalists, real estate agents, lawyers, code officials and, ultimately, building occupants.
BIM has changed the way structures are designed because it provides a much better interpretation of what the building is actually going to look likeand how it will perform over its life.
While the definition of BIM begins with the 3-D modelling of the entire building, each design phase includes the architecture, mechanical, electrical, plumbing and every component of the project requiring physical coordination.

But it’s the “I” in BIM that is most beneficial: the building elements are represented in both graphical and data-rich text so the information or data embedded behind each BIM object is available for sharing. Features such as size, shape, colour, fire-rating, warranty, raw materials, manufacturer’s specifications and other documentation can be included for each product.
Informational insight can impact AVBIM is widely known in the United States, and is gaining ground globally. For the audiovisual industry, the significance of BIM lies in the fact that—in the eyes of a construction professional—AV manufacturers are building product manufacturers, not AV companies. But AV technologies can greatly impact the performance of a building, and can be beneficial to the health, safety, welfare and productivity of occupants.
Information in the BIM building model can be very helpful to AV providers. First, the ability to visualize within the 3-D imagery the physical aspects of the AV products incorporated into the space—such as video display size and location, loudspeaker configurations, projector mounting locations, equipment rack layouts, and head-end equipment locales—is very valuable. To be able to share all of that information in collaboration and coordination with architects, interior designers and other construction professionals is beneficial in several ways.
BIM facilitates clash detection and design flaws, so space and system routing conflicts can be identified, as well as ascertaining clear cable pathways and projector and camera sightlines. Visual simulation can also detect potential problems, such as natural daylight designs that compromise video display clarity. Control system software can be coordinated within the model so that the control system can be effectively demonstrated for multimedia, volume, lighting, projection screen and HVAC applications.
Benefits of BIM beyond the construction phaseOnce the building is completed, facility management professionals can rely on BIM’s potential life cycle analysis, performance assessment and routine maintenance. COBie (Construction Operations Building Information Exchange) is an open-standard format of the equipment lists, replacement parts, warranties, test reports, preventive maintenance schedules and other information delivered to facility managers.
So information within the BIM model can include data that is helpful to not only design and build, but to operate the completed structure and the systems incorporated within. BIM can be considered

a digital Owner’s Manual for the building. The BIM model stays with the structure for its entire life. AV products in the model can be accessed for product information, warranty, operational and troubleshooting procedures, as well as establishing additional components needed for future upgrades should application requirements change.
Widespread global adoptionBIM is embraced by about 80% of design firms, and some organizations and governmental institutions have mandated it. The U.S. General Services Administration, NASA, and several states have mandated BIM for construction projects. General Motors, Intel, Walt Disney and even the retailer Crate & Barrel require BIM for new builds. There are several international organizations and other countries that are adopting BIM standards: Canada, France, Australia and The Netherlands are following the United Kingdom in developing BIM programs. Like the U.S., the British government is adopting a BIM mandate to be fully implemented by 2016.
Earlier involvementAV professionals will soon rec-ognize that BIM will affect their world. At the least, BIM projects will require that AV is involved earlier in the design process. That can be a real advantage for AV product manufacturers, consul-tants and system integrators alike. Traditionally, AV has been an afterthought, but with BIM, it’s an integral aspect of the structure. That makes life easier for the architect, as well. www.techspan .ca • 1-800-363-1588 • [email protected]

Investing in BIMNow is the time for AV professionals to be BIM-savvy. Many AV manufacturers are jumping on the BIM band-wagon and investing in having BIM objects of their prod-ucts created. (At FSR, we have invested in BIM objects so they can be available for architects to use in their models. The BIM objects are downloadable from the FSR website, as well as third-party online design resources.)
With significant time and cost reductions, elimination of construction conflicts and more-accurate estimates, BIM will help architects and AV professionals work
together more effectively by being on the same page throughout the entire building process.

F rom the beginning, power utility communication net-works were designed solely to provide operators with a pic-
ture of what was happening in the power network, with little concern about cybersecurity.
But as utilities introduced packet-based network technologies (owing to their greater efficiency), the risk of cyber-threats has increased. Although traditional SONET and SDH technology (synchronous opti-cal networking and synchronous digital hierarchy) is not impervi-ous to cyber-attacks, it is much less susceptible than packet technology. This is due to the static nature of SONET/SDH and the absence of a signalling plane.
But packet technology, because it is capable of dynamically reaching any point in the network through the use of addressing—and the fact that it has a signalling plane—can open the door to threats.
Considering how little thought was put into securing the power utility network in its original design phases, its vulnerabilities come as no surprise. For instance, the pro-prietary characteristics of RTUs and SCADA (remote terminal units, and supervisory control and data acqui-sition) equipment present particular challenges.
Due to the sensitive nature of this equipment’s software code, util-ity operators are often prohibited from making modifications, such as upgrading an older-generation operating system, or keeping it cur-rent with updated security patches. As a result, there can be many secu-rity holes that are not patched or otherwise addressed.
Two major vulnerabilitiesTwo major vulnerabilities are the network control plane and the data plane. Some of today’s packet networks have a control plane to streamline circuit provisioning. This may be efficient from a network management standpoint, but it also provides a path for corrupting and disabling the network. By dis-seminating malicious information, an attacker can cause a network to send its traffic into nowhere, create routing rings, or take other actions that could bring down the entire network.
Denial of service attacks are a classic example of threats that originate on the data plane. Typi-cally, these attacks bombard a victim with multiple bogus requests for connection, causing the recipient to waste resources and struggle to handle legitimate requests. When

all resources are exhausted, the target can fail completely. For a power utility, the resulting loss of visibility to its RTUs or tele-protection equipment can quickly translate into loss of control of the power network and a signifi-cant power outage.
Here are five things you can do to protect your network:
#1 Protect the perimeterThis approach insulates the power operational network from outside contact through firewalls and encrypted VPNs (virtual private networks).
Network firewalls allow contact only between approved entities, approve or reject connection requests, and check remote users for credentials. Their weakness is that, once they permit a connection, they have no notion of the data passing through—which could include malware or invalid data.
Another approach, one-way network firewalls, provide a ‘physical’ separation of the operational network from user-monitoring requests. They allow information to move only from the operational network outward, and minimize the exposure of mission-critical components.
Encrypted VPNs, typically used in conjunction with network firewalls, allow secure communications between different elements of the electronic security perimeter (ESP). This prevents certain types of attacks and compromises of control information.
Most security measures today are derived from the concept of perimeter protection, but they depend on physical security to some extent. For most utilities, their communications equipment is typically found in unstaffed, lightly protected locations. That is why additional security measures are recommended.
#2 Take the control plane out of your networkAttacks on the control plane, in which the attacker corrupts or crashes it, are particularly dangerous, resulting in network collapse. Even more concerning is the fact that just breaching a single location could crash the entire network. This means the entire network is only as secure as its weakest link or, in the case of power utility networks, the least-protected substation.
Network designs with a control plane or signalling protocol—such as MPLS and IP networks (multi-protocol label switching and internet protocol)—are highly susceptible to these types of attacks. While some mitigation is possible, the threat remains as long as control planes exist.
Where possible, move to a control plane-free net-work architecture, such as carrier ethernet or the more traditional SONET or SDH. Neither of these network types offers a means to attack their signal-ling plane, and both require a management station to
provision them. Secure the management station, and attacks are impossible.
#3 Minimize data plane attacksSuch attacks tend to be more focused—such as a denial of service attack on a particular host—and the potential loss of connectivity between the HMI sta-tion (human/machine interface) and remote units can interrupt control of the electrical grid. Data plane attacks can be mitigated through the design of the operational network.

Where rigid connectivity is forced, as with carrier ethernet or SONET and SDH networks, it is more difficult for an attacker to gain visibility into network elements outside of their direct connection. This is because only the minimum necessary parts of each host are exposed to the network, with more vulnerable parts shielded.
#4 Authenticate the sourceAnother way to increase security and avoid masquerading or spoofing is through the use
of source authentication protocols. The most prominent of these is the ethernet-based 802.1x, which validates each newly inserted device through a centrally managed database. It uses encryption to verify the identity and ensure the new device is not masquerading as a valid network device. This ensures all devices connected to the network are indeed valid and not hacker-inserted.
#5 Counter the malware threatAmong the most difficult attacks to detect are those

that originate from elements inside the network. For instance, it is extremely challenging to determine whether a particular command is valid or malicious. Some commands (such as decommissioning an old RTU) may have a valid use when issued by authorized personnel, but can be harmful when initiated by others.
The distributed nature of these types of attacks renders a centralized or transitional solution inadequate. In addition, solutions must ‘understand’ the ICS protocol (industrial control systems) and make an intelligent determination as to whether a particular command is valid or out of bounds.
The ideal solution here is a dis-tributed, ICS-aware firewall, inte-grated into the fabric of the network as part of the switching equipment. An ICS-aware firewall that can determine the validity of different SCADA commands can block and detect insider threats or threats stemming from the introduction of malware to the network.
The key elements of this solu-tion are omnipresence and appli-cation awareness for addressing the distributed nature of power utility networks, as well as the dif-ficulty associated with detecting malware attacks. Malware typi-cally piggybacks on real control stations and verifiable hosts, and only changes the content of con-trol messages. To detect this type of tampering requires the intel-ligence to read and verify each command, hence the need for application-aware equipment.
Defence-in-depth strategyOperational power utility net-works face many potential cyber-threats. Each defence strategy presents its own vulnerabilities, so a network can only be truly protected through multiple defences over multiple layers. This defence-in-depth strategy employs a mix of tactics that aims to detect, block and impede the advancement of an attacker.
Network security for the power utility network must be seriously considered at every stage of the design. Diligent planning can dramatically improve the resilience of the network.

T he use of renewable energy in the United States could take a sig-nificant leap forward with improved storage technologies or more efforts to ‘match’ different forms of alternative energy sys-tems that provide an overall more steady flow of electricity, say
Oregon State University researchers in a new report.A major drawback to the use and cost-effectiveness of alternative
energy systems is they are too variable—if the wind doesn’t blow or the sun doesn’t shine, a completely different energy system has to be available to pick up the slack. This lack of dependability is costly and inefficient, conclude researchers.
In their analysis, the researchers say much of this problem could be addressed with enhanced energy storage technology, or by developing ‘hybrid’ systems in which, on a broader geographic scale, one form of renewable energy is ramping up even while the other is declining.
“Wind energy is already pretty cost-competitive and solar energy is quickly getting there,” said Anna Kelly, a graduate student in the School of Public Policy at Oregon State, and an energy policy analyst. “The key to greater use of these and other technologies is to match them in smart grid, connected systems.”
For example, the wind often blows more strongly at night in some regions, Kelly said, and solar technology can only produce energy during the day. By making more sophisticated use of that basic concept in a connected grid—and pairing it with more advanced forms of energy storage—the door could be opened for much wider use of renewable energy systems.
“This is more than just an idea; it’s a working reality in energy facilities around the world, in places like Spain, Morocco and China, as well as the U.S.,” Kelly said. “Geothermal is being paired with solar; wind and solar with lithium-ion batteries; and wind and biodiesel with batteries. By helping to address the price issue, renewable energy is being produced in hybrid systems by real, private companies that are making real money.”
Advanced energy storage could be another huge key to making renewable energy more functional, and one example is just being developed in several cooperating states in the West. Electricity is being
produced by wind farms in Wyoming, transmitted to Utah where it is stored via compressed air in rock formations then, finally, used to help power Los Angeles.
This $8-billion system could be an indicator of things to come, say researchers, since compressed air can rapidly respond to energy needs and be readily scaled up to be cost-competitive at a significant commercial level.
“There are still a number of obstacles to overcome,” said Joshua Merritt, a co-author on the report and also a graduate student in mechanical engineering and public policy at OSU. “Our transmission grids need major improvements so we can more easily produce energy and then send it to where it’s needed. There are some regulatory hurdles to overcome. And the public has to more readily accept energy systems like wind, wave or solar in practice, not just in theory.”
NIMBY (not in my backyard) opposition to renewable energy systems is still a reality, the researchers said, and there are still some environmental concerns about virtually any form of energy, whether it’s birds killed by wind turbine rotors, fish losses in hydroelectric dams or chemical contaminants from use of solar energy.
The near future may offer more options, the researchers say. Advanced battery storage technologies are becoming more feasible. And the birth of small, modular nuclear reactors—which can be built at lower cost and produce no greenhouse gas emissions—could play a significant role in helping to balance energy outflows from renewable sources.
The long-term goal, the report concluded, is to identify technologies that can work in a hybrid system that offers consistency, dependability and doesn’t rely on fossil fuels. With careful matching of systems, improved transmission abilities and some new technological advances, that goal may be closer than realized, said researchers.
“With development, the cost of these hybrid systems will decrease and become increasingly competitive, hopefully playing a larger role in power generation in the future,” the researchers wrote in their conclusion.

Reduce labour with Eaton V-Spring telescoping light pole system
Eaton’s Crouse-Hinds business introduced the V-Spring telescoping light pole to increase safety and reduce labour costs associated with installing and maintaining lights at industrial facilities. The controlled lowering pole features spring assistance to
move the fixture up and down; it may negate the need for workers to work at heights when they need to clean or repair the light because the spring assistance offsets the pole and light’s weight. The V-Spring is
fully adjustable from 5 ft to 10 ft, and travels vertically as opposed to a 45° rotational path. It can be locked into any height position without requiring nuts, safety pins or tethers. A 2-in. base pole comes standard on all models and is constructed to meet structural wind ratings.EATON CROUSE-HINDSwww.crouse-hinds.com

Some transfer switches with dual cer-tification for Canada and the U.S. are marked “Suitable for Service
Entrance”, but this marking may only apply to the U.S. market, as the require-ments for approved service entrance equipment in Canada are different.
The power disruptions created by last year’s ice storm in Ontario had prompted home and business owners to install transfer switches as a provision for easily connecting generators, should they be required. While this is great for emergency preparedness (as it eliminates any last-minute issues with connecting generators), one must ensure the correct type of transfer switch is being installed when intended as service entrance equipment.
Here are the main requirements for recognizing service entrance transfer switches approved for use in Canada:
• Incomingserviceconductorsareconnected to the line side of the main switch or circuit breaker without passing
Always consult the electrical inspection authority in your province/territory for more specific interpretations.

through compartments or raceways containing conductors connected to the load side of the main switch or circuit breaker.
•The service box consists of a lockableenclosure or separate compartment containing a disconnecting means and its overcurrent devices.
•The handle of the service disconnectingswitch or circuit breaker is lockable in the Off position.
•A neutral assembly is bonded to theenclosure by a bonding conductor or non-ferrous screw at the factory.
One of the main reasons for these requirements is worker safety: service conductors are always live, and workers have no means of disconnecting them without involving the supply authority, so they need to be in a separate compartment. A worker should not be exposed to live service conductors when connecting/disconnecting a generator’s conductors.
Nansy Hanna is the director for Engineering & Program Development at Electrical Safety Authority (ESA) where, among other things, she is responsible for product safety, code development, improving harmonization and alternative compliance, worker safety, and aging infrastructure programs. She is a LEED-Accredited Professional and a member of CSA CE Code-Part I, Sections 24, 32, 46, 50 and 64. Email her at [email protected].
The service box has a separate compartment constructed so that it may be locked or sealed, containing a disconnecting means and its associated overcurrent devices.
The neutral assembly is bonded to the enclosure at the factory.
Utility service conductors entry is into a separate trough way or compartment.
