Pre-Commissioning Readiness – The Missing Piece of the Puzzle

By Conduit
Quality installation is the goal for all construction projects – especially data centers. Today’s construction environment has created a perfect storm of obstacles to the quality goal: complex equipment and systems, numerous equipment vendors, skill disparity, speed of construction, equipment delays, and a constant squeeze on prices and margins. On many projects, these challenges create a gap in the quality process that, if unaddressed, leads to a less-than-desirable outcome. The solution to this gap is...

Rely on your Relays: Best Testing Practices

By Conduit

Relay Testing Background Nearly all complex relays installed today are microprocessor-based. Relays no longer use a disk and magnetic fields to determine the overload condition, instead they rely on complex circuitry, programming, and user input settings to protect the facility. Each relay manufacturer utilizes different programming interfaces and languages and offers varying levels of customization. The various functions utilize an input (current, power, voltage, frequency) with or without a directional element to trigger a user-defined pick-up….

Playing Zone (Interlock) Defense? Consider This in Your Game Plan

By Conduit

While ZSI may be an effective way to mitigate risks of injury and damage to electrical equipment in the event of a fault, it must be specified, applied, and installed properly – and thoroughly commissioned. All circuit breakers within the protected zone must be equipped with ZSI capability. ZSI installation depends on proper interconnect wiring between circuit breakers, and often, different switchgear lineups…
