Exit Lighting (Illumination of Means of Egress) Good afternoon, everyone, and welcome to Mighty Line Minute. Today we're getting back into NFPA 101, the Life Safety Code, and one of its most important areas, that of illumination of means of egress, otherwise known as emergency lighting. Stay tuned. The NFPA Life Safety Code serves as a comprehensive guide for many safety measures within buildings, and specifically, illumination of the means of egress. This provision is critical as it assures that occupants can safely exit a building under emergency conditions. Without proper lighting, occupants may find difficulty finding their way resulting in panic, confusion, and potential harm to individuals. Emergency lighting serves as a backup in the event of power outage, security, threats, fire, or other emergencies. It provides visibility and guidance to occupants, enabling them to evacuate safely. The Life Safety Code outlines different requirements based upon the type of building or occupancy. For example, healthcare facilities have more stringent requirements due to the vulnerability of the occupants. The NFPA 101 Code mandates the installation of emergency lighting in all exit access corridors, exit stairwells, and exit passageways. Additionally, emergency lighting must be placed at every change in direction, exit door and intersection with corridors.  The lighting must provide sufficient illumination for occupants to see clearly and evacuate safely with an average of one foot candle along the pathway of egress. Furthermore, emergency lighting fixtures must be mounted at least seven feet above the floor level. Exit signage must be clearly visible and recognizable by building occupants. Signage plays a crucial role in guiding occupants to the nearest exit without confusion.  NFPA 101 also requires sufficient width and capacity of exit pathways to accommodate the expected occupant load. This assures that overcrowding and potential bottlenecks do not hinder the safe egress of occupants.  Inverter style emergency lighting systems use advanced technology and should always be considered as an option during both the design stage and for existing buildings. They offer much more flexibility in terms of the emergency lighting, especially regarding the means of egress travel.  As opposed to the bug-eye style, decentralized, emergency lights found common in many warehouses, inverter style systems are centralized solutions. Their power source involves centralized batteries with distributed power to architecturally pleasing ceiling or wall lighting. Inverters can also power non-lighting loads, such as door interlocks, fire alarm systems, etc., and are easy to install. Just be sure the equipment and the installation conforms to NFPA 70 National Electric Code, the NFPA 101 Life Safety Code, NFPA 111 Stored Energy and Standby Power, UL 924, and where necessary, UL 1008. I know that's a mouthful, but today, compliance with codes and standards is essential. And finally, many occupancies, such as warehouses or industrial manufacturing operations often employ the use of other photoluminescent tapes or markings that enhance the means of egress travel. Occasionally, tapes that have photoluminescent properties are added so in order to augment the existing emergency lighting systems. In the event of power failure, not only the emergency lighting provides what is required, but the additional benefit of photoluminescence helps aid in the evacuation of personnel. Be sure to be mindful of the maintenance and testing provisions of the code, and the minimum 90 minute illumination requirement for means of egress emergency lighting. Remember too that photoluminescent signs and tapes do not replace the provision for the 90 minutes of illumination.  Of course, be sure to consult the NFPA 101 Life Safety Code for details on emergency lighting, means of egress, exit signage, width of travel, travel times and illumination.  Lastly, be sure to take a look at Mighty Line's full catalog to see how their products can be helpful to you in establishing a safe means of egress. These may include striping, photoluminescence and other signage that will help augment the existing program that you have put into place. Thanks again. We look forward to seeing you in a future podcast. Have a safe day!

Understanding NFPA 101: Ensuring Building Safety with Emergency Lighting Link- https://mightylinetape.com/a/blog/category/mighty-line-monday-minute Safety Stripes Podcast  Introduction When it comes to ensuring the safety of building occupants during emergencies, one universally recognized safety code stands out - NFPA 101, also known as the Life Safety Code of the National Fire Protection Association. This code serves as a comprehensive guide to address various safety aspects in buildings, including the provision for the illumination of means of egress. In today's podcast, we will delve into the crucial role of emergency lighting in NFPA 101 and explore the key requirements and design considerations for effective emergency lighting systems. Importance of Emergency Lighting in NFPA 101 The provision for the illumination of means of egress is a critical component of NFPA 101, as it ensures that occupants can safely navigate their way out of a building during emergencies. Without proper illumination, occupants may struggle to find their way, leading to confusion, panic, and potential harm. Emergency lighting serves as a backup when normal lighting fails due to power outages or other events. It provides visibility and guidance, enabling occupants to evacuate the building safely. Key Requirements for Emergency Lighting NFPA 101 specifies specific requirements for emergency lighting in different types of occupancies. For instance, healthcare facilities have more stringent requirements due to the vulnerability of their occupants. The code mandates that all exit access corridors, exit stairwells, and exit passageways must have emergency lighting. Additionally, emergency lighting must be installed at every change in direction, every exit door, and at all intersections with corridors. The lighting must provide sufficient illumination to allow occupants to see clearly and safely evacuate the building. This includes an average illumination of at least one foot-candle along the pathway of egress. Furthermore, emergency lighting fixtures must be mounted at a minimum height of seven feet above the floor level. Exit Signage Requirements In addition to adequate lighting, NFPA 101 also sets requirements for exit signage. Exit signs must be clearly visible and easily recognizable to occupants. The code addresses various aspects of exit signage, including size, color, and placement. These signs play a crucial role in guiding occupants towards the nearest exit, reducing confusion and ensuring a swift evacuation. Width and Capacity of Exit Pathways Another important aspect of NFPA 101 is the requirement for sufficient width and capacity of exit pathways. The code ensures that exit pathways can accommodate the expected occupant load and allow for a smooth flow of people during evacuation. This helps prevent overcrowding and potential bottlenecks that could impede the safe egress of occupants. Designing an Effective Emergency Lighting Inverter System To comply with NFPA 101 and ensure optimal safety, building owners and operators should consider well-designed emergency lighting inverter systems. These systems are engineered to meet the highest safety standards, providing reliable and efficient lighting during power outages or emergencies. The design of an emergency lighting inverter system takes into account various factors, such as the size of the building, the number of exits, and the specific needs of the occupants. The Role of Inverters in Emergency Lighting Systems A crucial component of an emergency lighting inverter system is the inverter itself. This device is responsible for converting DC power from a battery source into AC power that can be used to illuminate emergency lights. The design of the inverter is essential for ensuring an efficient and reliable conversion process. By utilizing advanced technology and high-quality components, emergency lighting inverters can provide consistent power output for extended periods with less reliance upon “battery-pack” or multiple “bugeye-type” battery systems. Customization for Optimal Coverage The design of an emergency lighting inverter system should be customized to provide optimal coverage throughout the building. By considering factors such as the layout and occupancy of the building, designers can strategically place emergency lighting fixtures to ensure that every area is adequately illuminated. This customization ensures that occupants can easily identify exit pathways and safely navigate towards the nearest exit. Meeting Regulatory Standards To ensure compliance with NFPA 101, emergency lighting inverter systems must adhere to strict safety standards and regulations. Designers must stay updated with the latest codes and guidelines to ensure that their systems meet the required specifications. By incorporating these standards into the design process, building owners can have peace of mind knowing that their emergency lighting systems are reliable and in compliance with the necessary regulations. Maintenance and Inspection Regular inspections and maintenance of emergency lighting systems are crucial to ensure their proper functioning during emergencies. Building owners and operators should establish a routine schedule for inspections, including checking the battery capacity, testing the emergency lighting, and verifying the functionality of exit signs. Any deficiencies or issues should be promptly addressed to maintain the effectiveness of the emergency lighting system. Enhancements and Innovations in Emergency Lighting While NFPA 101 provides comprehensive guidelines for emergency lighting, there are also opportunities to enhance these systems with innovative technologies. One such technology uses photoluminescence, which can be used for signs and floor markings. Photoluminescent materials absorb and store light energy, allowing them to glow in the dark. By utilizing photoluminescent signs and floor markings, building owners can enhance visibility and guide occupants even in low-light conditions. Local Municipal Requirements It is important to note that while NFPA 101 provides a national standard, local municipalities may have additional requirements for emergency lighting. Building owners and operators should closely examine the specific requirements of their local jurisdiction and consult with the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ). For example, cities like New York City have stricter regulations for emergency lighting and photoluminescent markings. It is vital to stay informed and ensure compliance with all relevant local regulations. Conclusion In conclusion, NFPA 101 plays a crucial role in ensuring the safety of building occupants during emergencies. The provision for the illumination of means of egress, along with exit signage and width requirements, are key components of this safety code. By complying with these requirements and designing effective emergency lighting inverter systems, building owners can provide occupants with the necessary visibility and guidance to safely evacuate the premises. Regular maintenance and inspections, along with the incorporation of innovative technologies, further enhance the effectiveness of emergency lighting systems. As a national consensus standard, NFPA 101 sets the foundation for building safety, and it is essential for all stakeholders to have a thorough understanding of its provisions

Joey Henderson returns to the podcast to talk about heat pumps and inverters. The reversing valve, defrost cycles, and auxiliary heat can cause confusion for people who have primarily worked with furnaces or straight-cool A/C systems. Heat pumps use defrost cycles and bring on the auxiliary heat when the coil is ice-bound, which can present a challenge; we need to maintain cold coils without going into defrost all the time.  Even though heat pumps were significantly less effective in years past, we will still see reduced performance in very cold conditions with the newer inverter-driven systems. Proper design, installation, and commissioning will also help occupants get the best performance out of their heat pumps. Inverters offer plenty of advantages for the cooling aspect of heat pumps, too, especially when it comes to achieving longer runtimes for dehumidification. They can also float their coil temperature, much like how refrigeration systems can use floating suction or head pressure. Condensate assemblies absolutely must be run properly to prevent backed-up drains and other related problems. Liquid line sizing and proper commissioning are also especially crucial for ductless inverter-driven systems. Joey and Bryan also discuss: Heat pump training and the electrification initiative Balance point Defrost strategies and universal defrost boards Dual-fuel systems Heat pump stigmas Blower door testing in various climate zones Surge protection and voltage monitoring How inverters work Occupant lifestyles and latent loads Zoning and duct design for inverter-driven systems Critical charge Line length for ductless systems   Check out Joey's training, social media, and contact information at https://joejoehvac.com/.

Rapid Shutdown has traditionally meant putting module level power electronics in the array for PV systems on buildings. There has always been this part of the NEC 690.12(B)(2)(1) that gave you an option to comply with rapid shutdown inside the array with a listed hazard control system. Surprisingly, we can now go back to having something to what rapid shutdown used to be in the 2014 NEC, which we called array level rapid shutdown. Let's see if someone gets something like this listed for a residential roof.   Links: https://www.sma-america.com/newsroom/current-news/news-details/news/5123-sma-america-and-sollega-partner-to-debut-the-first-ul-3741-pvhcs-certified-commercial-and-indus.html https://files.ironridge.com/flat-roof-mounting/resources/brochures/IronRidge_BX_System_UL3741_Installation_Addendum.pdf https://solarbuildermag.com/featured/ul-3741-rooftop-pv-system-complies-with-nec-690-12-without-mlpe/   To see a visual version, take these classes at www.HeatSpring.com/sean  40-Hour NABCEP Advanced PV Certification Training and CEUS 30-Hour NABCEP Advanced PV Certification Training and CEUS 2020 NEC PV, Energy Storage, Building and Fire Codes for PV System Inspectors

The Future of HVAC is Green The green movement is gaining traction in the sales process for home services. Many companies are investing in sustainable practices, products, and technologies. The definition of green jobs is also evolving. There are now green opportunities in sales, marketing, sustainable building products, real estate, and many other vocations. With new sustainable technologies and easy access to renewable resources, it's becoming more accessible than ever to switch to environmentally friendly practices and choose green alternatives. In the sales process, there are a few key things to keep in mind when selling green home services. First, educate yourself about the different types of sustainable practices and available products. There are many options, so it's important to know what your customers are looking for. You can find information about sustainable practices online, in home improvement stores, or in-home energy audits. Second, explain the benefits of sustainable practices to your customers. Many people are interested in saving money on their energy bills but may not be aware of all the other benefits of sustainability. For example, sustainable practices can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve air quality and water conservation. Finally, show your customers that you're committed to sustainability. This can be done by using green products in your home or office, supporting local green businesses, and becoming involved in environmental organizations. When customers see that you're invested in sustainability, they'll be more likely to trust and do business with you. Selling green home services is a great way to be on the cutting edge of the home services industry. By educating yourself about sustainable practices and products, you'll be able to offer your customers the best possible options for their home. And by showing your commitment to sustainability, you'll build trust and credibility with your customers, leading to more business. As utility rates continue to rise, sustainable technologies like cold climate heat pumps and inverter technology are becoming increasingly valuable investments. If you live in an area that experiences freezing temperatures, you may want to consider installing a cold climate heat pump. These pumps are electric and provide reliable comfort while also being safer for the environment. Inverters also make heat pumps more environmentally friendly by efficiently controlling motor speed and preventing energy waste. After a natural disaster, many homeowners and business owners face the daunting task of rebuilding. While some damage is too extensive to repair, replacement is the best option in many cases. This is especially true when it comes to HVAC systems.  New Regulations New regulation changes make it easier for homeowners and businesses to replace their HVAC systems with more environmentally friendly options. In the past, the easiest option was usually to replace damaged building systems with an equal product replacement after a natural disaster. However, this is no longer the best course of action. Now, homeowners and businesses have the opportunity to upgrade their HVAC systems and make a positive impact on the environment. By replacing old, inefficient HVAC systems with new, more efficient ones, homeowners and businesses can save money on their energy bills and help reduce their carbon footprint. Suppose you're considering replacing your HVAC system after a natural disaster; research all your options. There are a variety of environmentally friendly HVAC systems on the market, and the right one for you will depend on your specific needs and budget. With so many options available, there's no reason not to switch to a more sustainable HVAC system. We all can participate in the green movement in various ways, but motivating people and companies can still be challenging. Action is the single biggest hurdle to adopting green trends. Electrification and efficiency upgrades are the types of improvements we should push for in the HVAC sector. This will not only provide carbon reduction but also provide a significant return on investment over time. Although educating a market and taking action takes time, the global energy crisis and the cost of fossil fuels recently hitting an all-time high are accelerating interest in renewable energy sources and technologies. There are many ways that we can reduce our reliance on fossil fuels and make our buildings more efficient. One way is to switch to electric heating and cooling systems. Electric systems are much more efficient than fossil fuel-based systems and produce zero emissions. Another way to improve efficiency is to upgrade insulation and ensure that windows and doors are properly sealed. These simple measures can reduce heat loss by up to 30 percent. In addition to making buildings more efficient, we also need to use less energy overall. One way to do this is to switch to LED lighting, which operates 50-80 percent less energy than traditional incandescent bulbs. We can also use solar power to heat and cool our buildings. Solar energy is free once you have installed the necessary equipment and produce zero emissions. What's Next? The heating and cooling industry also sees increased research and development in green technology. There are opportunities to sell these new advances. Say a building runs on renewable sources and wants to install an updated HVAC system - the owner would be interested in an efficient, eco-friendly design that wouldn't put too much strain on the power grid. This is where HVAC companies can step in and offer their latest and most fantastic products. As we see a shift towards renewable energy, the HVAC industry must keep up with the latest advancements. By doing so, we can help buildings run more efficiently and support the move away from fossil fuels. If you're looking to save money on your energy bill and help the environment, investing in a green HVAC system is a great way to do so. With the Inflation Reduction Act set to provide tax breaks for those who use clean energy, now is the perfect time to switch to a more sustainable option. Not only will you save money, but you'll also be doing your part to help the planet.

Copyright 2018, The Energy Show, Barry Cinnamon You know what they say: “Video killed the radio star.” Well I'm going out on a limb and adding video to this week's podcast. But since my fans say I have a perfect face for radio, I'm not worried that this video podcast will affect my Arbitron ratings. Nevertheless, my guests on this video podcast are much more telegenic, so I encourage you to click through to this video link (https://youtu.be/yIG0KyWjI5w). A few months ago I had the pleasure of organizing and moderating a panel discussion about microgrids for the MIT Club of Northern California. Basically, a microgrid is a combination of solar, batteries, inverters, software and control electronics that allow customers — both residential and commercial — to operate independently of the grid. Interest in microgrids is skyrocketing for two reasons. First, the grid is becoming less reliable, while at the same time our society is becoming more dependent on electricity. Second, time of use electric rates now peak in late afternoons and evenings, making it much more profitable to store daytime solar generation in a battery and using that energy during peak electric periods. There are four factors limiting the growth of the microgrid industry: 1. The first is good energy policy that makes the economics of microgrids work for customers. Bernadette Del Chiaro, Executive Director of the California Solar Storage Association, joined us on this panel. Without a doubt, Bernadette is one of the best solar and battery policy experts in the entire country. 2. Next we need functional and affordable batteries. Peter Gibson, the head of North America Energy Storage Solutions for LG Chem, is the battery expert. LG Chem is one of the biggest battery manufacturers in the world. Their residential battery storage products are in such demand that they cannot make them fast enough. 3. Inverters are the heart of a microgrid. Lior Handelsman, Co-Founder of SolarEdge, shared his insights into the future of microgrids powered by smart inverters. In the way of background, SolarEdge is the inverter market leader, and has done a terrific job with software that is critical to successful microgrids. 4. Finally, cooperation from electric utilities is key to the widespread adoption of microgrids. New Community Choice Aggregation utilities have the potential to lead the way; the CEO of Peninsula Clean Energy, Jan Pepper, joined us. And I was especially happy to include another spice in our discussions. Listen up to this Week's Energy show to learn about how each of these industry leaders are working today to deliver migrogrids to both residential and commercial customers.

What criteria are used to determine which part # to use? What are common design issues when using Gate Drivers?

Foundations of Amateur Radio A question that occurs more often than you might think is one related to powering your radio. It comes in a few different flavours, like: "I want to install a radio in my car, how do I power it?", or "I want to operate portable, what's the best way to power my radio?" or "What power-supply should I buy?" There are many more versions of this, but they all come down to the same underlying challenge. I spoke about sizing a battery a couple of years ago, but that's not the only consideration. If you look at the power specifications of my Yaesu FT-857d, you'll see 13.8V DC +/- 15%, Negative ground, 1 Amp on Receive and 22 Amp on Transmit. Based on this I purchased two 26 Amp Hour batteries and a 45 Amp variable power supply. My amateur license restricts me to 10 Watt and I tend to operate using 5 Watt. On receive the actual draw, specified in the documentation at 1 Amp doesn't go above 0.5 Amp in typical use. Transmit, specified at 22 Amp doesn't go above 3.6 Amp at 5 Watts and at 10 Watts it's still only 4.5 Amp, so my 45 Amp power supply is slightly overkill, by a factor of 10. By the way, that's an FM carrier on 2m. Different modes and bands have different current draw. I should make mention of the duty-cycle, that is the difference in time spent transmitting and receiving. A 100% duty-cycle means that you're transmitting all the time, 50% means half the time and 25% means that for every minute of transmission, you'll spend three minutes listening. There is more to the duty cycle, in brief, AM, FM and RTTY are 100% duty cycle modes, CW is a 40% mode and SSB has a duty cycle of 20%. So if you're listening half the time on SSB, your duty-cycle is only 10%. At this point you should at least understand that what the manufacturer says on the box and what your radio actually does is entirely dependent on your use case. I have no doubt that there is a way I can operate my radio so it draws 22 Amp. I'm not quite sure how, but I'm sure it's possible. Sizing aside, there are other things you need to consider. If you're in a car, do you wire the contraption directly to your car battery, or to a secondary battery? Should it be connected directly, or via the accessory switch? Should you get a DC to DC power supply, or some other technology? Also, not all cars are 12V, not all cars have their body as earth and the thicker the wire between the battery and the radio, the better. My decision, given that I live in a country where distances are non-trivial, and in a state bigger than Texas, in fact Western Australia is bigger than Alaska, Texas and Minnesota combined, I decided that it would be prudent to make the power supply for my radio completely separate from my car. I have a toolbox in the boot, that's the trunk if your regulator is the FCC, which contains two 26 Amp Hour batteries. I take it out to charge and put it back when I need it. Other solutions include second batteries with disconnect on low charge circuits, manual and automatic ones, direct connect to the main battery and variations on that theme. In shacks I've seen batteries which are constantly charged connected to a radio and dedicated power supplies bordering on being a local sub-station to ensure that enough of the good stuff makes it into the radio and out to the antenna. For portable operation I've seen Lithium in several different flavours, car start boost batteries, mobile phone USB batteries, remote control car batteries, and the like. If you have more than one, bring some red Velcro and use it to mark the flat battery. One of the things you'll really only be able to learn after doing it is finding out what the noise level is that a power supply generates. A battery generally doesn't make noise, but the charger or up-converter might. Inverters are often a great source of HF noise, the cheaper the more noise, so test before you buy. Also, none of what I've said so far considers emergency preparedness, which is a whole other topic for another day. As in any technical situation, in theory, practice and theory are the same. In practice they're not. Be prepared to do some real world tests, see what your friends are doing and see what you can take-away from that. My purchase of a laboratory variable 45 Amp power supply was excessive, but it's likely to outlast me. The two 26 Amp Hour sealed lead acid batteries are very heavy, but I avoid carrying them as much as I can and so far, seven years later, they still last most of the weekend during a contest. There's not a one-stop solution for power, just like there isn't one for picking a radio. How do you power your radio? I'm Onno VK6FLAB

In this podcast Zack talks about a no cool call. HVAC troubleshooting and service methods are discussed. He also talks about inverters and how they may be required reading very soon.

In 2016, more solar generating capacity was installed than any other fuel source. Because of the low cost of solar-generated electricity, installations of both utilities and customer owned rooftop systems (residential and commercial), are growing rapidly. Unfortunately, changes to net metering and revised electric rates (such as demand charges) are making battery storage systems more compelling for “behind the meter” applications that are not owned by utilities. However, BTM solar and storage systems are still expensive and complicated. Inverters, charge controllers and battery subsystems are generally not factory-integrated. The software necessary to operate these components in a way that maximizes the economic benefits for homeowners requires knowledge of local electric rates, battery charge-discharge-longevity characteristics and instantaneous home electric usage -- not to mention customer energy use preferences. And National Electric Code limitations on “plug-in” power sources must be considered for safe installations. Nevertheless, the demand for an affordable plug and play home solar and storage system is almost unlimited. My special guest on this week's Energy Show is Chris Estes, co-founder and CEO of Solpad. Their first product, Solpad, combines a high-capacity battery pack, inverter, solar panel and software all in one easy to use portable package.

With so many solar inverter options, choosing the right one for your home or business can get a little overwhelming. In the way of background, inverters convert the DC power from rooftop solar panels into the AC power used in your home. High Voltage! For cost, performance and reliability reasons, most solar installers have strong preferences for inverter manufacturers and types. And for good reasons, as discussed below. Standard string Inverters are the most common inverters for homes, I've been installing them since 2001, and they remain the most cost effective option. String Inverters are ideal for roofs without much shading (trees, vent pipes and chimneys). String inverters are usually installed outside the house near your electric meter; in my experience they have been among the most reliable designs. But string inverters have a more difficult time meeting some of the new rapid shutdown electrical code requirements. And they don't offer panel-by-panel monitoring (which can be a mixed blessing). Microinverters, introduced about eight years ago, are essentially miniature DC-AC inverters that are installed on the back of each solar panel, or on the racking below the panel. They are inherently safer than string inverters because there is no high voltage DC in the system. However, they are more expensive to purchase and install. String inverters with optimizers started hitting the market about five years ago. A small electronics package (an optimizer) is installed on the back of each panel (or integrated with the panel's junction box). This optimizer maximizes the power output from each panel, provides monitoring, and limits the DC voltage to safe levels. Optimizers are installed in conjunction with a string inverter. Typically, the string inverter with optimizer design is cheaper than microinverters but more expensive than a string inverter alone. From an efficiency standpoint, string inverters, microinverters and string inverters with optimizers are all about the same -- on an unshaded roof. In my experience, reliability of inverters from major manufacturers are similar, once the manufacturer releases their V3 product. The key differentiating factors are cost, monitoring (ease and reliability) and storage upgradability.
