The use of turbochargers as a power adder in racing applications continues to grow at a rapid pace as more gearheads adopt them for their forced induction needs. One thing that racers have discovered is that turbo systems generate massive amounts of heat, and that can rob the engine of performance or cause other issues. The teams of the Horsepower Wars $10K Drag Shootout fought the scourge of turbocharger heat difficulties with various products from Design Engineering Inc.

Heat control is one of Design Engineering Inc.s (DEI) specialties and it has developed a thick catalog of different products that assist with combating heat-related issues. Teams participating in the $10K Drag Shootout were given access to various DEI products to help reduce heat in the engine bay of their builds. With products like Aluminum Plug Wire Sheath, Exhaust Header Wrap Kits, Cool Tape Reflective Tape, Cool Tube, Titanium Protect-A-Sleeve, and Easy Loom Split Sleeves available, there were plenty of ways each team could mitigate heat produced by its turbo system.

The COMP Cams Dream Team used several different DEI Inc. products to help reduce the temperatures under the hood of its Mustang.

Jessie Adams is the lead fabricator for the Comp Cams Dream Team and has many years of experience constructing race cars. Adams discussed how hes used DEI products on his own projects and why you want to use them in a build where a turbocharger is the power adder of choice.

Ive used DEIs Velcro Aluminized Sleeving in the past for electrical wires, data acquisition cables, and hoses on many different vehicles. On multiple occasions, DEIs sleeving saved the plug wires on supercharged HEMIs when a burst panel popped and there was a fire. Ive used the DEI exhaust wrap on the headers of a turbo system because they will get so hot theyll glow red, and that can melt wires, hoses, or anything plastic from a decent distance away. Also, its important to keep the heat in the pipes to help a turbo spool faster, and the exhaust wrap is great for that, Adams explains.

One of the DEI products the Comp Cams Dream Team used in its build was a full set of Aluminum Plug Wire Sheaths. The Aluminum Plug Wire Sheath is made of a high-temperature glass fiber material thats been bonded to an aluminized material that reflects heat. DEI designed these sheaths to protect the spark plug wire and its boot from high levels of direct and indirect heat. They can also be used on electrical wires, cables, hoses, and other small parts. The Aluminum Plug Wire Sheath is rated to resist 1,200 degrees Fahrenheit of direct heat and 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit of radiant heat.

The temperature generated by exhaust from an engine is the main concern under the hood of a racecar, and with a turbocharged application, theres even more of it to deal with. Adams explains why the Aluminum Plug Wire Sheaths are a great idea to protect the spark plug wires from exposure to heat.

A lot of things happen inside an engine compartment when a vehicle is going down the race track that cannot be seen while its idling in the shop. The G-forces exerted during a pass can make flexible components like wires move unexpected amounts. The Aluminum Plug Wire Sheaths on spark plug wires protect the insulation from breaking down due to the heat, which helps keep your ignition current running to the spark plug and not jumping out of the wire causing a short circuit. When the current leaves the wire it will cause a miss or dead cylinder and that can lead to some big problems, Adams says.

Besides spark plug wires, theres a multitude of other wires that live under the hood of a racecar and need protection from the heat. DEI developed a solution for those wires with its Easy Loom Split Sleeves that provide protection for wires from heat, abrasion, Mother Nature, and fluids. The Easy Loom Split Sleeves are simple to use since they are split and dont require you to cut any wiring for installation. The Easy Loom Split Sleeves can resist up to 347-degrees Fahrenheit of radiant heat and have a melting point of 500-degrees Fahrenheit.

The COMP Cams Dream Team used the DEI Easy Loom Split Sleeves for protection and to give their engine bay a clean look.

For Adams and the Comp Cams Dream Team, it was a no-brainer to include the Easy Loom Split Sleeves as a part of the build.

When the integrity of your wiring is compromised, 99 times out of 100 it will not become evident until the worst time possible. Things like that never fail in the garage or in the pits they always fail when youre many miles from home, or on the race track when consistency and performance matter the most. Using the DEI Easy Loom Split Sleeves ensured our wires would be protected from all the heat generated by the turbo system, Adams explains.

Wrapping the headers and hot side of the turbo kit with some type of heat shielding material is the most important preventative measure you can take to keep heat under control. DEIs Exhaust Header Wrap Kits were provided to the teams during the $10K Drag Shootout as another way to protect delicate parts and wiring from heat. The wraps can deal with temperatures up to 2,500-degrees Fahrenheit, while reducing temperatures under the hood and keeping vibration to a minimum.

The Comp Cams Dream Team used the Exhaust Header Wrap on its 2-into-1 turbo hot side exhaust pipe, and it performed as expected when the car was on the dyno. What wasnt expected was how well the wrap would deal with the intense heat of the devastating fire the Mustang was exposed to on its trip to No Mercy 10.

The DEI exhaust wrap held up well against the fire that destroyed the rest of the Dream Team's Mustang.

The fire was so hot it literally boiled all of the gear oil out of the rearend, melted the rear differential cover, melted the aluminum wheels, burned hoses, destroyed the wiring, and liquefied every plastic component on the entire vehicle. Portions of our aluminum turbo exhaust down piping were also damaged from the intense heat of the fire. I was astonished to see our hot side exhaust/turbo inlet piping when we disassembled our disaster of a racecar was protected from the heat by the DEI Exhaust Header Wrap. When the reassembly process begins we will reuse the exhaust piping without removing or replacing the pre-fire exhaust wrap thats how well it held up Adams says.

Protecting your wiring and heat-sensitive parts can be an easy task when you use the right products. DEI Inc.s products were put to the test in more ways than one during the second season of the Horsepower Wars $10K Drag Shootout and demonstrated their value in these real-world situations.

HILL AIR FORCE BASE In 2019, Hill Air Force Base saw new developments that will bring thousands of jobs to Northern Utah, strengthen the installation's standing inside America's defense landscape and pave the way for major improvements to state infrastructure.

But like much of the past decade or so, big news around Hill this year centers mostly around the F-35. Here are the type five stories from the base in 2019:

In November, a $45 million project to reconstruct Hill's runway was been finished after nearly nine months of work.

A project designed to better handle Hills fully-developed F-35 fleet, the work included a complete asphalt rehabilitation of the 13,500-foot runway, the construction of wider shoulders, a widened taxiway on the south end of the facility, new overruns, new airfield signs, new electrical wiring and new airfield lighting. Base officials say the construction will improve pilot safety and better protect Air Force assets.

For most of the construction period, the runway was open to military aircraft because work was completed in three phases. The first phase began in February with work on some 4,000 feet at the north end of the runway. A second phase that started in June, required the entire runway to close as crews worked on the middle section. During that time, Hills fighter wings were deployed to several different locations.

For about two months during the summer, Hills 34th Fighter Squadron and 34th Aircraft Maintenance Unit moved their F-35A Lightning II operations to Mountain Home Air Force Base Idaho, nearly 300 miles northwest of Hill. The group included more than 250 airmen from 388th and 419th fighter wings and up to 24 jets. Hill pilots in Idaho continued their normal operations and flew with other Air Force units.

The 2020 National Defense Authorization Act, a sweeping, nearly 2,000-page bill that authorizes more than $738 billion to be spent on American defense programs, includes an Air Force land conveyance measure that will transfer approximately 35 acres at Hill to the Utah Military Installation Development Authority.

Sponsored by Rep. Rob Bishop, R-Utah, the measure will facilitate a $90 million Interstate 15 interchange at 1800 North in Sunset, along with a new Hill gate there. The majority of the funding for the Utah Department of Transportation project is set to kick in between 2023 and 2024.

As part of the deal, MIDA is set to demolish the Armys Defense Non-Tactical Generator and Rail Equipment Center at the far west side of the base, which abuts I-15.

The new interchange will include flyover ramps on the east side of the freeway and will also provide another entrance into the Falcon Hill Research Park at Hill.

Officials say the project will relieve traffic pressure into Hill, particularly at the bases west and Roy gates, which are off of the 650 North freeway exit in Clearfield and the 5600 South exit in Roy, respectively. Currently, the base only has two full-time access gates: the west gate and the south gate off of State Route 193 in Layton. The Roy gate is open from 4 a.m. to 8 p.m., Monday through Friday.

In November, a group of airmen from Hill returned after a six-month deployment in the Middle East.

Members of Hills 388th and 419th fighter wings returned from Al-Dhafra Air Base, United Arab Emirates, a deployment that marked the first time the Air Forces F-35A Lightning II jets performed a real-world combat mission.

Supporting the Combined Joint Task Forces Operation Inherent Resolve mission, the group performed several missions, including close air support and regional deterrence against aggressors, according to a press release from Hill.

The squadron completed at least two combat strikes on enemy forces.

In September, F-35s and pilots from Hill were part of a group that dropped about 80,000 pounds of bombs on Qanus Island in Iraq a spot that has been used as a hideout by the Islamic State.

In April, Hill F-35 pilots conducted an air strike at Wadi Ashai, Iraq, hitting a long-established ISIS tunnel network and weapons cache in a remote area of the Hamrin Mountains.

At the time, Air Force officials said the strike marked the jets first real-world combat strike.

In August, Northrop Grumman broke ground on the Roy Innovation Center at Hill, which will serve as future headquarters for Northrops work supporting the Department of Defenses Ground Based Strategic Deterrent program. The center will be located just south of the Hill Aerospace Museum, near Hills border with Roy.

The United States current land-based ballistic missile force is currently made up of some 400 Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic missiles. The Air Force is upgrading the missiles, their rocket motors and other components, but plans to replace them through the GBSD program by about 2030.

According to the Congressional Research Service, the new program will cost more than $80 billion and run for 30 years. The total cost includes the acquisition of missiles, new command and control systems, and large-scale renovations of launch control centers.

Hill officials and members of Utahs Congressional Delegation have said the program will bring as many as 2,500 jobs to the area.

The program will eventually include six new buildings at Hill over one million square feet of office and lab facilities. Completion on first 231,000 square feet is scheduled to be finished by mid 2020.

After more than four years (and more than 10 years if you include the environmental review process) the base now has its full arsenal of F-35 fighter aircraft.

In December, the 388th Fighter Wing received an F-35A Lightning II from defense contractor Lockheed Martin a jet that marked the final F-35 delivery at Hill and brings the total number of aircraft on base to 78.

The first two operational F-35s arrived at Hill in September 2015. Since then, the base has received approximately one to two jets every month. During that time, the two fighter wings have flown more than 17,500 sorties and more than 33,000 flying hours.

The wings three squadrons the 4th, 34th and 421st each have 24 F-35As, with another six back-up aircraft stored at the base.

According to 388th FW spokesman Micah Garbarino, the F-35 mission at Hill added more than 400 personnel and generates an estimated $47 million to the Northern Utah economy every year.

LINTHICUM Wonder what it is like to work on the Bay Bridge? For all, it is a challenge but also a great opportunity with a view of a lifetime.

The William Preston Jr. Memorial Bridge or the Bay Bridge is certainly an iconic symbol for those that live and travel in Maryland. For many it is a passageway for a weekend get-a-way. For thousands of others, the bridge is part of the daily commute. The deck rehabilitation project has been a hot topic of discussion for many, but there is also additional work in progress.

For example, Lighting Maintenance Incorporated crews have been working on one bridge project since August 2018 and continue work alongside other contractors through these intense and impactful projects.

LMI is tasked with the removal and repair of the navigation lights, conduits, wiring, beacons and junction boxes on the bridge and the islands beneath that also help navigate boaters in the Bay, LMI Construction Manager Larry Cartee said.

Distinctive to this project is the use of stainless steel products and PVC coated rigid conduit and fittings, most all of which must be custom fabricated, cut and threaded onsite to help fight and slow down future corrosion issues.

This is a very special installation that not all electricians are not equipped for or familiar with the necessary techniques, CEO Michael Yoder said. We are dedicated to providing the best quality product and service.

LMIs work is mainly done from two 80-foot boom lifts chained down on a barge 90 feet long and 30 feet wide. Working through last winters months, the crew now only has a few locations left to complete of the 46 piers.

In addition, LMIs crews work include hanging off structures from above, which do require special lane closures. An inconvenience to motorists but key to the safety of the workers.

With this project particularly, safety is key and I am onsite frequently, LMIs Safety Manager John Rudasill said. Special harnesses and lanyards, especially lanyards we are using to attach our tools so they do not fall off the bridge are just a few of our efforts.

The jobs remaining are very high and can only be accessed with a combination of lifts, suspension cables, catwalks and ladder systems, LMI Lead Foreman Gillian Billey said.

With the harsh environment on the Chesapeake Bay in the fall and winter months, these repairs are absolutely necessary now, but have proven to be challenging to all that are working to complete the job.

The weather plays a large part in our schedule due to high winds and rough waters, Billey added. We are trying to hit an early January completion date. Thanks to our crew, were on schedule as long as the wind, the waves and the temperatures work with us too.

"game consoles and a plethora of smart home lights, security cameras, alarms, deadbolts, and a small army of Alexa-capable devices) all connected by both wired and wireless connections. Yeah, it's all wonderful, when the network holding it all together works consistently.The area behind my workbench looked like a rat's nest with all the NAS boxes, smart hubs, and wall warts plugged in to different power strips and cables running every direction. The NAS boxes and hubs also took up a LOT of space on my workbench and shelves. And to make things worse, some devices were connected to several 'Gigabit' ethernet switches, and some to mere 'Fast Ethernet' switches, that were then connected to other Gigabit ethernet switches. In effect, I paid a lot of money to buy fast equipment that I then slowed down by connecting it to old stuff. In case you hadn't figured it out yet, networks aren't my forte... I was beginning to have problems accessing the internet in certain areas because of conflicts with the new AlticeOne system... (which I got in an attempt to resolve wireless connectivity issues) but Optimum's tech support wasn't much help at all. In fact, I'm sure their configuration of my Altice mini box wireless extenders created many of the problems. In short, everything network-related in my home was a complete mess.Cut back to the PC and printer issue. Because of their location, I was relying on wireless connections to get the offending PC and printer to even talk to each other. But the signal dropped every few minutes and the PC could never locate the printer, which, because it couldn't find the PC either, kept going offline. It was horrible. I figured the best way to fix it was to run two new ethernet cables to provide direct connectivity. I used Thumbtack and was provided the names of several cabling and network companies. I selected a company named, 'Cables First' Why? I have no idea. But I'm glad I did. While we were talking over the details, Chris, the owner, asked me if I had a patch panel for the existing internet cables. Being a relative network neophyte (duh), I asked, "What is a patch panel?" When he explained what was and its usefulness in a network environment, I became fairly excited at the possibilities for improving my network situation beyond what I'd originally planned. Then, before we'd even settled on terms of the original work, Chris tried to get in touch with me about solving a specific network connectivity problem I mentioned having. He had his network engineer on a conference line and they were going to talk me through resolving my immediate problem. I was unavailable at the time he called, but I was impressed with his extra effort to help solve my problems. So I decided to ask Chris to help me straighten out my self-inflicted network problems.We worked together to design a wall mounted rack that would hold all my NAS and hub equipment, and then the true magic began. I was NOT looking forward to undoing the wiring mess that I had created over several years, but Chris said, "Don't touch anything, we'll sort it all out and get it put back together in perfect order..." And the short version of the story is... they did. Now my entire network is humming along perfectly, problems were solved that I didn't even know I had. And Chris and his guys went above and beyond the call to make sure everything was neat, well labeled, and in perfect working order. While we were troubleshooting the wired connection to my Onkyo receiver, the network engineer even helped straighten out the configuration errors I'd inadvertently created, and in the process fixed the sound problem I was having with my Rega Planar 3 turntable. Am I happy? In a word. Extremely."

The 10 Best Wiring Installers Near Me (with Free Estimates)

Receptacles come in different amperage ratings such as 20 amp (left) and 15 amp (right).

Courtesy of Home-Cost

All electrical wiring and devices have an amperage, or amp, rating. This is the maximum amount of electrical current they can safely carry. Most standard household circuits are rated for 15 amps or 20 amps, while large-appliance circuits (such as for electric dryers and ranges) may be rated for 30, 40, 50 amps, or even more.

When installing or replacing wiring or devices, all of the parts you use must have the appropriate amperage rating for the circuit. For example, a 20-amp circuit must have 12-gauge wiring, which is rated for 20 amps. If you install 14-gauge, 15-amp wiring on that circuit, you create a fire hazard because the 20-amp circuit breaker protecting that circuit might not shut off before the 15-amp wiring overheats.

Choosing the Right Amperage

When replacing a switch, light fixture, or outlet receptacle, make sure not to install a device that is rated for more amperage than the circuit carries. This is especially important when replacing receptacles. A receptacle rated for 20-amps has a unique prong shape in which one of the vertical slots has a T shape. This shape allows 20-amp appliances, which have a matching T-shaped prong, to be inserted. Installing such a receptacle on a 15-amp circuit makes it possible to possibly overload the circuit if you plug such a 20-amp appliance into it.

Note, however,that there is no danger to installing 15-amp receptacles in 20-amp circuits since it is perfectly fine when a plug-in device draws less power than the circuit amperage. In fact, it is quite normal for 20-amp general-use circuits to be wired with 15-amp receptacles.

5 Essential Tips for Safe Electrical Repairs

You may be able to mount your flat screen TV above your fireplace for a more streamlined look in your living room. In fact, TV mounting professionals can hang your flat screen TV flush with a wall or from a tilting or full-motion bracket mount in any room in your home. A tilting or full-motion mount may be the best option above a fireplace so you can tilt the TV down for the best viewing angle. Whether the wall above your fireplace is brick, drywall, concrete, stone or plaster, most television mounting services can accommodate your needs. Hardier wall surfaces like concrete or brick will require more labor and expertise to mount, and will likely have a higher price range.

If you want your AV and cable wires hidden in the wall, you will also pay a higher price due to the added time and skill to properly drill the holes and run wires. Before mounting your TV above your fireplace, consult with the manufacturer about necessary distance from heat sources. If the space above your fireplace gets too warm, another location could be better for the longevity of your TV. Your television mounting services may take between one and two hours, or more depending on your home theater setup.

What is Electrical Wiring?

Electrical Wiring is a process of connecting cables and wires to the related devices such as fuse, switches, sockets, lights, fans etc to the main distribution board is a specific structure to the utility pole for continues power supply.

Wiring (a process of connecting various accessories for distribution of electrical energy from suppliers meter board to home appliances such as lamps, fans and other domestic appliances is known as Electrical Wiring) can be done using two methods which are

They are discussed as follows:

In this method of wiring, connections to appliances are made through joints. These joints are made in joint boxes by means of suitable connectors or joints cutouts. This method of wiring doesnt consume too much cables size.

You might think because this method of wiring doesnt require too much cable it is therefore cheaper. It is of course but the money you saved from buying cables will be used in buying joint boxes, thus equation is balanced. This method is suitable for temporary installations and it is cheap.

This method of wiring is universally used in wiring. Lamps and other appliances are connected in parallel so that each of the appliances can be controlled individually. When a connection is required at a light or switch, the feed conductor is looped in by bringing it directly to the terminal and then carrying it forward again to the next point to be fed.

The switch and light feeds are carried round the circuit in a series of loops from one point to another until the last on the circuit is reached. The phase or line conductors are looped either in switchboard or box and neutrals are looped either in switchboard or from light or fan. Line or phase should never be looped from light or fan.

There are additional types of conduit wiring according to Pipes installation (Where steel and PVC pipes are used for wiring connection and installation).

This system of wiring comprise of ordinary VIR or PVC insulated wires (occasionally, sheathed and weather proof cable) braided and compounded held on walls or ceilings by means of porcelain cleats, Plastic or wood.

Cleat wiring system is a temporary wiring system therefore it is not suitable for domestic premises. The use of cleat wiring system is over nowadays.

Casing and Capping wiring system was famous wiring system in the past but, it is considered obsolete this days because of Conduit and sheathed wiring system. The cables used in this kind of wiring were either VIR or PVC or any other approved insulated cables.

The cables were carried through the wooden casing enclosures. The casing is made up of a strip of wood with parallel grooves cut length wise so as to accommodate VIR cables. The grooves were made to separate opposite polarity. the capping (also made of wood) used to cover the wires and cables installed and fitted in the casing.

Single core or double core or three core TRS cables with a circular oval shape cables are used in this kind of wiring. Mostly, single core cables are preferred. TRS cables are chemical proof, water proof, steam proof, but are slightly affected by lubricating oil. The TRS cables are run on well seasoned and straight teak wood batten with at least a thickness of 10mm.

The cables are held on the wooden batten by means of tinned brass link clips (buckle clip) already fixed on the batten with brass pins and spaced at an interval of 10cm for horizontal runs and 15cm for vertical runs.

The type of wiring employs conductors that are insulated with VIR and covered with an outer sheath of lead aluminum alloy containing about 95% of lead. The metal sheath given protection to cables from mechanical damage, moisture and atmospheric corrosion.

The whole lead covering is made electrically continuous and is connected to earth at the point of entry to protect against electrolytic action due to leaking current and to provide safety in case the sheath becomes alive. The cables are run on wooden batten and fixed by means of link clips just as in TRS wiring.

There are two additional types of conduit wiring according to pipe installation

If conduits installed on roof or wall, It is known as surface conduit wiring. in this wiring method, they make holes on the surface of wall on equal distances and conduit is installed then with the help of rawal plugs.

If the conduits is hidden inside the wall slots with the help of plastering, it is called concealed conduit wiring. In other words, the electrical wiring system inside wall, roof or floor with the help of plastic or metallic piping is called concealed conduit wiring. obliviously, It is the most popular, beautiful, stronger and common electrical wiring system nowadays.

In conduit wiring, steel tubes known as conduits are installed on the surface of walls by means of pipe hooks (surface conduit wiring) or buried in walls under plaster and VIR or PVC cables are afterwards drawn by means of a GI wire of size if about 18SWG.

In Conduit wiring system, The conduits should be electrically continuous and connected to earth at some suitable points in case of steel conduit. Conduit wiring is a professional way of wiring a building. Mostly PVC conduits are used in domestic wiring.

The conduit protects the cables from being damaged by rodents (when rodents bites the cables it will cause short circuit) that is why circuit breakers are in place though but hey! Prevention is better than cure. Lead conduits are used in factories or when the building is prone to fire accident. Trunking is more of like surface conduit wiring. Its gaining popularity too.

It is done by screwing a PVC trunking pipe to a wall then passing the cables through the pipe. The cables in conduit should not be too tight. Space factor have to be put into consideration.

Following conduits are used in the conduit wiring systems (both concealed and surface conduit wiring) which are shown in the above image.

Metallic conduits are made of steel which are very strong but costly as well.

There are two types of metallic conduits.

A solid PVC conduit is used as non-metallic conduit now a days, which is flexible and easy to bend.

The common conduit pipes are available in different sizes genially, 13, 16.2, 18.75, 20, 25, 37, 50, and 63 mm (diameter) or 1/2, 5/8, 3/4, 1, 1.25, 1.5, and 2 inch in diameter.

Below is the table which shows the comparison between all the above mentioned wiring systems.

We will discuss the step by step method of different wiring systems in coming posts.. So stay tune and dont forget to subscribe to our blog. Thanks
