About The museum is dedicated to telling the story of the African American experience in Arkansas. Center’s name is taken from the Mosaic Templars of America, black fraternal organization headquarters sat on the prominent West Ninth and Broadway location. Like many businesses throughout the United States, the Mosaic Templars of America organization was forced out of business during the Great Depression. Originally, the Center planned to restore the 1913 Mosaic Templars of America National Grand Temple, but the original building was destroyed by re in March 2005. new 35,000-square-foot interior is stateof-the-art museum complex with exhibits, classroom, sta o ces and an auditorium that seats 400 people. façade of the new structure is facsimile of the 1913 building complete with the Annex building façade, which burned in 1984. mission of the Mosaic Templars Cultural Center is to preserve, interpret and celebrate African American history and culture in Arkansas. e museum’s exhibits highlight fraternal organizations, African American entrepreneurs as well as integration. MOSAIC TEMPLARS CULTURAL CENTER 501 W. 9th Street Little Rock, Arkansas 72201 501-683-3593 www.mosaictemplarscenter.com 2 With the 2018 release of the lm by the same name, there’s been increased interest in what exactly the “Green Book” was and what sort of presence Arkansas businesses had in the guide. e Green Book was rst introduced in 1936 to provide African American that would serve them. From the introduction to the 1949 edition of the book: “With the introduction of this travel guide in 1936, it has been our idea to give the Negro traveler information that will keep him from running into di culties, embarrassments and to make his trips more enjoyable.” e introduction concludes thus: ere will be day sometime in the near future when this guide will not have to be published. at is when we as race will have equal privileges in the United States. It will be a great day for us to suspend this publication for then we can go to wherever we please, and without comes we shall continue to publish this information for your convenience each year.” e guide was published until 1965, although publication was temporarily halted during World War II. e 1949 issue of the Green Book contained dozens of listings in Arkansas, including properties in Arkadelphia, Brinkley, El Dorado, Fayetteville, Fort Smith, Hope, Hot Springs, Little Rock, North Little Rock, Camden, South Camden, Pine Blu Fordyse (sic), Helena, Russellville and Texarkana. e types of businesses included in the guide included restaurants, hotels, tourist homes, service stations, beauty parlors and beauty schools, barbers, night clubs, service stations, garages, sanitariums and more. For example, Velvatex College of Beauty Culture was listed in the guide as early as 1947. Velvatex was established in Little Rock in 1929 by Mrs. M. E. Patterson. business has 90-year history of female African American entrepreneurship. In 2018, Velvatex collaborated with Mosaic Templars Cultural Center to create an exhibit celebrating the history and culture of black hair. Following the exhibit, Velvatex donated numerous artifacts from its collections to the the museum. Ninth Street black business district, near where Mosaic Templars Cultural Center sits today, are also included in the guide. e building, which housed the Farun Restaurant (listed in the guide from 19491953), is one of the few West Ninth Street buildings of that era still standing today. Although most of the businesses listed in the Green Book are no longer in operation, and many of the buildings are gone, few still remain. One such place is the Latimore Tourist Home in Russellville. e Latimore is notable as it was the only Little Rock and Fort Smith. Today, the home still stands but has become derelict and condemned. Preserve Arkansas included the Latimore Tourist Home on its 2018 list of Most Endangered Places. 22

Keith Lofland by: Joseph Wages, Jr. by: Bill Brooks, P.E. by: Mark Hilbert by: FEMA Best practices for long life PV installations By Shawn Shaw or many years, photovoltaic (PV) plants were designed to a 20-year system life based on the length of PV module warranties. It was generally assumed that when these (formerly) expensive components reached the end of their life, the remainder of the plant would likewise be ready for decommissioning. However, as margins decrease and equipment becomes more reliable, PV plant designers and installers are being asked to provide plants that will remain operational for 35–45 years, and it’s likely that 50+ year PV plant lifetimes are not far behind. As the price of key components like modules and inverters continues to fall relative to the costs of siting, permitting, and development, we can expect system owners to try and stretch lifetimes even further by repowering plants with new (presumably cheaper) modules and inverters. This could possibly add decades to the overall plant lifetime. Though the National Electrical Code NEC is very clear that it is not a design standard, code officials who inspect modern PV plants face the very real possibility of future interactions with the project. They must consider not only the system’s current condition, but also how that condition will change over the coming decades. For example, inspectors may find PV system installers using components with design lives that are not commensurate with planned 35-year (or longer) lifetime for modern commercial- and utility-scale PV projects. By a considered enforcement of key articles, code officials can do their part to support the safe and effective operation of PV plants for their full lifetimes. PERSPECTIVES ON PV 52 JANUARY 26
CHEAT SHEET The human body is good conductor of electricity. As a result, electrical current can easily travel through it. There are three main types of electrical hazards: electric shock, electrical burns, and arc blasts (the effect of blasts). Understanding the basics of these hazards is critical in enforcing electrical safety in the workplace. Electric shock occurs when body becomes part of an electrical current. Examples of electric shock include: A person may come in contact with both conductors in a circuit. Touching a live wire and an electrical ground. A person may provide a path between an ungrounded conductor and the ground. ● A person may provide a path between the ground and conducting material that is in contact with an ungrounded conductor. The severity of electric shock is related to four elements. If the combination of these four elements is just right, the shock can be severe or lead to electrocution. ● Amount of current Length of time current is present Path of current through the body Frequency of the current (Hz) The amount of the current depends on the potential difference and the resistance. The effects of current on the human body range from a temporary mild tingling sensation to death. Voltage is important only in that it determines how much current will flow through given body resistance. The current necessary to operate 10 watt light bulb is eight to ten times more current than the amount that would kill person. A pressure of 120 volts is enough to cause a current to flow which is many times greater than that necessary to kill. Effects of Electrical Current on the Human Body If the current is strong enough, the blast effect that can result from arcing can cause injuries and start files. The power arc is a discharge of electricity through a combination of ionized air and vaporized conductor material. The conductive material is vaporized by temperatures in an arc which can be as high as 35,000°F. Low-energy arcs can cause violent explosions or blasts in atmospheres containing explosive gases, vapors, or combustible dusts. ● High-energy arcs can also damage equipment causing metal to fly in all directions. While there is no equipment that can completely protect electrical workers, there are several safe practices that can help. Limit Exposure. Reduce the amount of time spent around high energy equipment. Maintain Distance. Always stay as far away as possible from high-energy equipment unless there is specific need. Increase Mass. Try to keep some type of sturdy material between you and a potential blast. Wear Protective Clothing. PPE such as flash suits may offer some protection to minimize burns resulting from blasts. The most common shock-related injury is an electrical burn. Burns suffered in electrical accidents can be of three types: Electrical Burns — the result of the electric current flowing in the tissues. These burns may be skin deep or may affect deeper layers such as muscle and bones. Arc Burns — the result of high temperatures produced by electric arcs or by explosions close to the body (see electrical arc blasts). ● Thermal Contact Burns — burns normally experienced from the skin contacting hot surfaces of overheated electrical conductors, conduits, or other energized equipment. Tissue damage is caused by heat generated by the current through the body and is often immediately classified as a third-degree burn. If the energy delivered by the electric shock is high, the body cannot dissipate the heat, and the tissue is burned. Typically, such electrical burns heal slowly.

Extraordinarily large wildfires are causing many to install energy storage systems on their homes to provide power when the utility grid is not available or has been turned off to prevent further wildfires. Utilities are adding energy storage to complement the gigawatts of renewable wind and photovoltaic energy systems that they are installing. 53 JANUARY CANADIAN PERSPECTIVE WWW.IAEI.ORG 38 IAEI MAGAZINE NOVEMBER DECEMBER 2020 IAEI_NovDec_2020_uploading.indd 38 After wrote an article about the selection of the overcurrent (O/C) protection and conductor sizes for transformers, received significant feedback (questions and comments) from the readers. Some questions in this feedback have been related to the Canadian Electrical Code, Part Code requirements for loading (and overloading) of a transformer. Let’s take look at the applicable provisions of the CE Code in this regard. As was indicated earlier, transformer is not piece of utilization equipment. It is the piece of equipment that allows providing the necessary interface between supply and utilization voltages. As such, transformer is inserted into feeder or circuit for sheer purpose of such voltage interface and transformation. It means that a transformer is part of circuit or feeder and that continuous load connected to transformer cannot exceed the rating of the circuit in which such transformer is inserted. Rule 26-258 of the CE Code states the following: 26-258 Transformer continuous load (see Appendix B) For the purpose of transformer overcurrent protection and conductor sizes selected in accordance with Rules 26-250 to 26-256, the continuous load as determined from the calculated load connected to the transformer secondary shall not exceed the values specified in Rule 8-104 5) or 6).“ Appendix B Note on Rule 26-258 offers the following clarification: Appendix B Note on Rule 26-258 The intent of this requirement is to provide for coordination between loads connected to transformer secondary and the rating of the transformer circuit (i.e., rating of the transformer overcurrent device and ampacity of transformer conductors). Compliance with this requirement allows the proper selection of the minimum acceptable conductor size under the applicable provisions of Rule 26-256 and selection of the transformer overcurrent device under the applicable requirements of Rules 26-250 to 26-254. Because selection criteria for the overcurrent devices and conductors are based on the rated (primary or secondary) current of the transformer, the actual calculated load connected to the transformer may not necessarily fully correlate with the transformer rated primary and secondary currents, in which case the intent of this requirement could be met by increasing the rating of the overcurrent device under the relaxation permitted by Rule 26-254 3). This Rule would also have to be considered when conductor size is permitted to be reduced under the provisions of Rule 26256 3).“ It means that the load connected to the transformer shall not exceed the rating of the circuit (or feeder) in which the transformer is installed. Subrules 8-104(1) and (2) provide the following statement regarding a rating of the circuit and correlation between the circuit rating and the maximum calculated load allowed to be connected to the circuit (and in this case to the transformer, which is inserted into the circuit): By Ark Tsisserev, P.Eng.

Hildreth New year, new Code cycle! The NFPA Standards Council issued the 2020 version of the National Electrical Code® (NEC®) in August 2019. In January 2020, states may begin the process of deciding whether to adopt the new NEC-2020 or another edition of the Code Massachusetts, which historically has been the first state to adopt the latest NEC near the beginning of the Code cycle year, is poised to adopt the 2020 NEC in January. Other states and local jurisdictions are adopting older, existing versions of the NEC California, for example, begins enforcement of the2017 in January 2020. IAEI News is debuting a new column starting in January 2020 called Code Watch In this column, we are presenting code adoptions across the United States and elsewhere. While this article simply can’t cover every single jurisdiction (that would be a book), we want to give a forum where both local and state/provincial jurisdictions can announce the enforcement of new electrical codes. First, Understanding the Lingo In Canada, most of it not all of the regional provinces adopt the latest version of the Canadian Electrical Code In the United States, every state has its own practices with regards to adoption, enforcement, and so forth. Thankfully, the terms and enforcement procedures are 42 JANUARY relatively consistent across the board. Here are a few to help you get started. Just be careful to double-check with your local jurisdiction to find out exactly what rules you need to follow. Code Cycle. The NEC is revised every three years; this three-year period is called the NEC Code Cycle The term also applies to local jurisdictions as to when they adopt and begin enforcement of specific code. It does not always follow the NEC Code Cycle period. For example, Colorado adopted the NEC-2017 in July 2017 and most likely will adopt the NEC-2020 in July 2020. They traditionally have a three-year code cycle, just with varying dates. The simplest way to look at it is that the code cycle is the time between the adoption of one version of the NEC and another. Statewide adoption. The NEC is enforced across all local jurisdictions within the state. Some jurisdictions may elect to adopt local amendments. Hybrid adoption. Often this term refers to when a state department adopts the NEC for state-owned buildings, unincorporated areas, or even licensing. Local jurisdictions can adopt and enforce a different version of the NEC. Sometimes this term gets mixed up with statewide adoption, as in the state adopts a minimum code, but local jurisdictions can adopt more stringent codes. Local adoption. The state does not adopt any version of the NEC and leaves adoption up to local jurisdictions. Sometimes individual departments within state may adopt a code just for use within that department, but local jurisdictions can adopt whatever code they want.

More than 1,500 individuals participated in this workforce survey, which was conducted online in November 2019. IAEI received responses from 608 authorities having jurisdictions, 311 electricians, and 643 other electrical professionals who shared information on variety of topics. We wanted to understand better how inspectors and other professionals felt about their careers in the industry and allow them to share valuable insight on which to make career decisions. In the charts that follow, you’ll find details concerning salaries, professional development, and training, required licensing, and additional information from work-life balance to tips for career advancement. Average salaries are also broken down by industry average and region. Overall, electrical authorities are happy, feel well-compensated, and feel professionally challenged. In part one, we’ll take look at the local authority having jurisdiction — everything from their job duties and continuing education requirements to their reported annual salaries.

Additionally, with the increased use and availability of on-site generation of electrical power, such as photovoltaic (PV) power sources or energy storage devices, the lack of access to safely secure all electrical power generation devices to a residence is made even more challenging. To that end, similar requirements were also added for an emergency disconnect at a readily accessible outdoor location at dwelling units for the following equipment in the 11 Client: International Association of Electrical Inspectors Project: IAEI Editorial Design Project Items: Conceptualization, Layout, Graphic Illustration, Infographic and Typography 27
