We would like to respond to a recent letter to the editor published (Re: Penticton Western News, Feb. 4, Fanning the flames) regarding the FortisBC advanced meter program.
Safety is a priority in every project we undertake. For our Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) project, safety is considered from the testing and certification of our meters, to the safe installation process and the safety of the infrastructure itself.
We are unaware of any reason why the installation of any properly installed and certified electric meter, including an advanced meter, would impact home insurance. Advanced meters go through testing and quality assurance, comply with all safety requirements from professional and safety organizations, such as IEEE and ANSI, are certified by Industry Canada and approved by Measurement Canada.
There was found to be a decline in the frequency of residential structure fires associated with electricity after advanced meters were installed in the Lower Mainland, according to a report co-authored by the Fire Chiefs Association of British Columbia. An important reason we are doing this project is to try to reduce instances of electricity theft, which often involves hazardous wiring that creates safety issues for emergency officials, utility workers and the general public.
We are committed to providing a safe and reliable supply of electricity at the lowest reasonable cost, and the advanced meter program is one way were generating savings for our customers. The program will pay for itself and create savings for customers over the life of the project by preventing electricity theft and reducing the costs of meter reading, while upgrading meters to meet changing Measurement Canada guidelines.
For more information about advanced meters, visit fortisbc.com/ami. You can also call us at 1-866-436-7847.

The Energy Commission from February 25,2015 would ban electricians without wiring certificate from the Commission. It is part of measures to regulate the operations of electrical engineers to uphold professional standards and protect life and property.
"Very soon all electricians would have to be certified by the Energy Commission, go through an exam before you are certified, if you don't have a certificate you cannot parade yourself as such" Victor Owusu, Public Relations Officer(PRO) for Energy Commission said.
All new buildings across the country without wiring certificates will have their power-supply cut off from the national grid.
The commission has in this light instituted a certification scheme for electricians across the country. The PRO, Victor Owusu says electricians who fail to comply with the directive would be prosecuted.
According to Victor Owusu, the initiative is in conjunction with the Fire Service. " We also realise that most of the fire recently was a result of faulty wiring and inferior cables".
Electrical wiring has a lot to do with the safety of persons and property because faulty wiring consequently causes a lot of fire outbreaks among others.
The Electrical Wiring Regulation 2011 (LI 2008) passed by Parliament in 2012 has three key objectives: Who qualifies to engage in any electrical wiring of properties in Ghana, how wiring is done and the kind of materials used to wire properties in the country he said.

With effect from February 25, 2015, newly built structures that are not wired by certified electrical wiring professionals (CEWPs) will not be connected to the national grid.
The Electrical Wiring Regulations, 2011 (LI 2008) come into force on February 25, 2015.
The Executive Secretary of the Energy Commission, Dr Alfred Ofosu Ahenkorah, who made this known in Accra yesterday, said offenders of the regulations would be dealt with according to the law.
At a graduation ceremony for new CEWPs, he said the commission was collaborating with the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) and other service providers to ensure the full implementation of the law.
The Electrical Wiring Regulations, 2011 (LI 2008) was passed by Parliament on February 24, 2012.
The key objectives of the regulations are to guide professionals who engage in electrical wiring and installation works in the performance of their duties and to ensure safety of lives and property.
The regulations specifically provide for issues related to who qualifies to undertake electrical wiring in the country.
Regulation 7 says: A person shall not undertake electrical wiring on premises unless that person is certified by (a) a licensed electricity distribution utility; or (b) a recognised person appointed by the Energy Commission.

From February 25, 2015 all new buildings across the country without wiring certificates will have their power-supply cut off from the national grid.
According to the Energy Commission, this is part of measures to regulate the operations of electrical engineers to uphold professional standards and protect life and property.
The commission has in this light instituted a certification scheme for electricians across the country. The Principal Programme Officer, Solomon Sarpong told JOY BUSINESS, electricians who fail to comply with the directive would be prosecuted.
The certification programme seeks to inject some professionalism into the electrical wiring industry. Electrical wiring has a lot to do with the safety of persons and property because faulty wiring consequently causes a lot of fire outbreaks among others.
The Electrical Wiring Regulation 2011 (LI 2008) passed by Parliament in 2012 has three key objectives: Who qualifies to engage in any electrical wiring of properties in Ghana, how wiring is done and the kind of materials used to wire properties in the country he said.
He added To enforce this, the Commission has tied the exercise to service connections. In this regard, if a facility is not wired by a Certified Electrical Wiring Professional (CEWP), who will eventually, issue an Installation Completion Certificate, the facility will not be connected to the national grid by the Electricity Company of Ghana.

The Chandler Unified School District (CUSD) Governing Board met Wednesday night and approved the K-6 Wireless Expansion Project for all elementary schools throughout the district.
Overview of the K-6 Wireless Expansion Project includes: installation and cabling of 1,000 Access Points; Wireless Management Suite for all devices and Aruba Care Support for one year; and Aruba ClearPass Access Manger Sever, licensing, and support.
Superintendent Dr. Camille Casteel spoke to members of the board about how the K-6 Wireless Expansion Project will be implemented throughout the 28 elementary schools in the district.
Knox Gifted Academys wireless expansion has already been completed.
The K-6 Wireless Expansion Project will cost a little more than $1 million, which will be taken from the bond election and a gift from Intel thats specific to technology expansion within the district.
Weve utilized those funds to help pay for services for our schools and support the technology efforts, she said. We still have money in the gift fund that will cover this. We thought that this was an excellent use, rather than delay this another two years deepening on the success of a bond election.
Casteel anticipates the expansion will be completed before the start of the 2015-16 school year.
The wireless implementation across all our elementary schools allows us to present more viable solutions to having a less-distributive-testing environment on a campus versus hard-wiring, said Dr. Matt Strom, executive director of research and accountability. We can be a lot more innovative with how we schedule assessment, and thats why I think wiring all the elementary schools is a necessary step in becoming ready even though its not necessarily required.

Method of Wiring - for Three Phase DOL Motor
The Main contactor has three NO contacts and one NO and NC Auxiliary contacts. A thermal overload relay is shown in the example but one can use only a contactor without the overload unit. If a thermal overload unit is used, it's rating should correspond to the motor running amperage.
Install the 415 V coil contactor in a suitable enclosure and fix the On/Off Push Button switches at the required operating point.
Wire from a 3 Phase power supply of a 3 Pole MCB or a Main switch of the Power Distribution to the L1,L2 and L3 terminals of the contactor. If a Thermal overload is connected to the contactor's T1,T2 and T3 terminals, then connect the load wires to the motor to the T1,T2 and T3 terminals of the thermal overload.
Now for the control wiring.
Connect a wire to L1 terminal and connect the other end to a terminal of the On Push Button.
Connect the other terminal of the On Push Butto to the terminal of the Off Push button.
The remaining therminal of the OFF Push button should be wired to one of the Thermal Overload's NC contact terminal.
The other terminal of the Thermal Overload's NC contact should be wired to the coil terminal A1 of the contactor.
[ If a Thermal overload is not used, then the remaining therminal of the OFF Push button should be wired to A1 terminal of the contactor.]

What is meant by an Electrical Installation ?
An electrical installation can be simply described as a system consisting of electrical components such as conductors and switchgear to work electrical equipment to fulfill a specific purpose, safely.
Examples for electrical installations are numerous around you.
The Electrical system of your house, the plant room of a swimming pool, a factory with few or many electrical equipment, a workshop with machinery, the services of a multi storied building consisting of Electrical equipment- all these can be cited for electrical installations.
The root of generating Electricity for various requirements of the mankind today is numerous. Major methods of Electrical Power Generation are Thermal, Hydropower, Nuclear ,Solar and Wind Power.
The generated power is distributed through an Electrical Distribution system.
The Power Utility Companies or government Power Utility Institutes take the responsibility of bringing the Electrical Power to the Consumer.A Consumer can be a large Production Industry or a basic Home of a person.
The Consumers requirements vary greatly according to his electrical power requirements or the useage of Electricity.
Electrical Installations are needed for the Consumer to use Electricity for his requirements such as Lighting, Heating and Air Conditioning , running all types of Electrical Equipment , to name a few.
All of us at one time or another, needs the services of Electrical Installers to attend to either new installation work or to maintain existing electrical installations.

If you are looking for pictures of temporary electrical installations, they can be found at another post, Temporary electrical installation picturesandTemporary lighting installation pictures.What you will find below are mostly on permanent installations. Picture 1 Conduit and trunking
The above picture shows how the electrical conduit and trunking installation should be coordinated with water pipes.
Trade subcontractors (water piping sub-contractors, electrical sub-contractors, telephone cabling contractor, computer network contractor, etc) must not be allowed to proceed with the installation of their individual services and equipment on the first come, first served basis.
=== RELATED POSTS:Pictures of electrical wiring|
About the author:http://www.linkedin.com/in/electricalengineerforhire ===================
Prior to the commencement of the installation works by trade sub-contractors, a set of proper coordinated drawings, endorsed by all relevant parties, should be made available to all the sub-contractors involved in a particular area.
Feedbacks from them should be heard because they are the ones who will be doing the works. Many times, what are nicely shown on approved drawings cannot be practically constructed at site.
You will find more pictures on this matter in Electrical conduit and trunking pictures.
