- #15: Article 110 requires specific clearances around equipment based on voltage levels, and changes have occurred from the 2002 NEC. The requirement that equipment rated 1,200A or more had to be over 6 ft wide before an entrance was required at each end of the working space was removed. The argument for the change was that the size of the arc blast is directly related to the ampere rating of the equipment, and not the physical width of the equipment.

- #23: What are the options to control the load? What parameters should be monitored? Individual component devices are useful but only if they work in concert. Field devices must report to a command center where decisions are made and action taken. Someone watches a gauge or gauges and turns a knob or flips a switch based on the information displayed or the decision to open a value, turn on a pump, or raise a temperature is determined a multitude of feedback set points that are processed in nanoseconds. SCADA systems can monitor and control plant and process equipment to save clients time and money Verify system performance for regulatory compliance, energy cost savings, Anticipate schedule maintenance times – reduce unanticipated down times Equipment Temperature switches Ammeters, Voltmeters, KWh meters Phase monitors Under/overvoltage monitors Process Level transmitters/ switches Pressure switches Motorized valves
