What is ampere? - Electricity Explained - (2)

When you have an electric current it's useful to be able to measure that current. This is done in amps (often using a multimeter). This video explains what an amp (A) (short for ampere) is, which also involves the coulomb (C). The coulomb is the SI standard unit for electric charge, whereas the amp is the SI standard unit for current. 1A equals 1C per 1s (seconds). One coulomb is roughly equivalent to 6.24 quintillion(!) electrons carrying a charge. That's at 1A. Imagine how many electrons pass a certain point when the current is 5000A(!)

Surge Protective Devices Misconceptions

A recent survey of facility professionals revealed mixed results on the knowledge of surge protection. Only surge protective devices, also known as transient voltage surge suppressors, protect against power surges.

Fuses and breakers, GFCIs, wiring, low-cost uninterruptable power supplies, and typical power strips do not.

A recent survey found that 79% of facility owners estimated that installing surge protective devices would significantly reduce downtime or equipment failure. Install these devices to protect your facility.

Safety is smart. Prevention is power.

Choosing the Best Commercial LED Parking Lot Lights

When you set out to improve safety for your employees, customers and neighbors, your parking lot is one of the first places to consider. Your parking lot is also a major part of both the first and lasting impressions your property makes on the public. A poorly lit, potholed lot sends all the wrong messages. As you can imagine, a poorly lit parking lot is also what insurance experts call “a claim waiting to happen” — and that claim could be a liability claims against you and your business!

But a  clean, well lit, well maintained parking facility is a neighborhood asset.  Investing in making your lot stand out for safety and attractiveness just makes good business sense.

Complimented by smart commercial and outdoor fixtures, Warehouse Lighting has a wide variety of LED parking lot and shoebox lighting solutions, light poles, and LED retrofit kits to help you elevate your parking lot into one of the major assets of your property or your business — and help you stand out in the neighborhood around you.
