Arc-Flash Detection Makes Electric Power Safer

Use the SEL-751A Feeder Protection Relay with high-speed arc-flash detection to reduce arc-flash hazards. The SEL-751A combines fast overcurrent protection with light-sensing technology to provide high speed without false tripping. The SEL-751A is a perfect fit for new and retrofit metal-clad switchgear applications. Visit www.selindustrial.com to learn more.

  !Skills Refresher: 10 dumb things smart people do when testing electricity
Electrical safety should never be taken for granted. Although well-trained and seasoned professionals know these tips, it never hurts to be reminded. This list is a quick reminder of what not to do when taking electrical measurements.
  !Feature: Electrical troubleshooting: 12-step program reduces downtime
It may come as a surprise that electrical troubleshooting can be more complex than it originally appears. Extending beyond basic instincts and traditional rules-of-thumb, electrical troubleshooting can be simplified if you use process discipline and analysis.
