Emergency power tests
The Square D PowerLogic emergency power supply system (EPSS) test helps hospitals ensure their backup power systems are ready to perform.
Schneider Electric announced the Square D PowerLogic emergency power supply system (EPSS) test solution to help hospitals ensure their backup power systems are ready to perform and compliant with maintenance and testing regulations. The EPSS test solution automates test procedures while electronically documenting a wide range of test measurement data points. It collects data from and provides control for generators and automatic transfer switches and ensures testing occurs at or above recommended manufacturer ratings for load and engine temperature. The system can also evaluate energy efficiency, power quality analysis, transient capture on generators, and breaker status monitoring.

2012 Salary Survey
In a year when manufacturing continued to lead the economic rebound, it makes sense that plant manager bonuses rebounded. Plant Engineering’s annual Salary Survey shows both wages and bonuses rose in 2012 after a retreat the year before.
Average salary across all job titles for plant floor management rose 3.5% to $95,446, and bonus compensation jumped to $15,162, a 4.2% increase from the 2010 level and double the 2011 total, which showed a sharp drop in bonus.
