Proper Lockout-Tagout Procedures
Increased safety, improved productivity, and reduced costs
We’ve all heard stories of
catastrophic injuries on the job
– even fatalities. It’s a tragedy
for workers and their families,
a disaster for friends and coworkers, and a nightmare for
supervisors, managers, and
business owners.
It is estimated that 10 percent of
industrial accidents are lockout/tagout
related. Because of the frequency and
seriousness of these accidents, OSHA
seeks to improve worker safety with a
special focus on lockout/tagout (LOTO)
standards. LOTO procedures are the
standard most often cited by OSHA for
manufacturers, and lack of procedures or
inadequately documented procedures are
among the most commonly cited LOTO
violations.
OSHA inspectors are specifically
instructed to look for documented
procedures during lockout/tagout
inspections. According to STD
1-7.3 –29 CFR 1910.147, Inspection
Procedures and Interpretive Guidance,
OSHA inspectors are instructed to
“ask the employer for documentation
including procedures for the control of
hazardous energy.”
The world leader in lockout/tagout products and services, Brady offer innovative
solutions that enhance safety, productivity, and cost savings.
How do you choose a
sorbent?
Actually, start at the end, in the trash.
One of the best ways to help pick the
right sorbent is to see what they look
like when you’re done with them. If it
looks like the sorbent is being used in
a high traffic area, you need a sorbent
that is durable. Too much sorbent for
the application - choose a medium or
lightweight pad. Not enough sorbent,
consider a heavyweight pad to increase
performance. Brady/SCP even offers
“green” sorbents to help with your green
initiatives to help the environment and
save costs.

WESCO Utility Solutions Magazine 2009
Whether you’re protecting your
employees or your equipment, SPC
products are your “go to” sorbents. You
can depend on our sorbents to keep
work areas clean and safe from virtually
any spill, drip, leak or greasy build up.

Elster Bridges Solutions for Public Power
Evolution in the primary and secondary metering markets
The metering industry is
experiencing a renaissance
that reflects the rapidly evolving
market place.
Replacement of single phase residential
meters with more functionality,
primarily communications capabilities,
began brewing as early as 2004.
Clearly now, utilities want metering
with advanced functionality as well as
two-way communications. Over the
past few years, utility customers began
transitioning to Advanced Metering
Infrastructure (AMI) systems and smart
metering.
Therefore, the market for standalone
single phase residential meters continues
to decline, from 4.5 million meters
annually to 1 million units in 2008.
In addition, there are an ever-growing
number of used meters in good
condition that are being removed for
AMI projects that have entered the
secondary market. Elster, with electric,
water, and gas metering products and
solutions, will continue to listen and
respond to market challenges and needs.
With the downward trend of noncommunicating single phase meters,
Elster is excited to offer two solutions to
this changing market segment.
The electromechanical single phase
meter has been the work horse for the
metering industry for over 100 years.
The combination of a declining market,
rising costs of raw materials, and the
need to better utilize the large number
of stand alone single phase meters being
removed from service, has caused Elster
to address the situation.
Given this list of circumstances, Elster
would like to introduce a single phase
standalone “green” meter.
Elster’s solutions for the
secondary market is the certified
AB1G single phase meter.
Elster’s solution for the secondary
market is the certified AB1G single
phase meter.
Elster will use a pre-qualified meter
chassis and new parts in offering a new
warranted meter that fully complies with
ANSI and other metering standards. We
will replace the rotor, bearings, disc, and
name plate with new Elster parts.
Think of this approach as restoring a
vintage automobile, where the body will
be used, but the engine, transmission,
and other critical parts will be replaced.
The AB1G meter will be available as
a Class 200, Form 2S, standard clock
6
WESCO Utility Solutions Magazine 2009
dial 13 8/9 RR register and we will
have the option to supply either a glass
or polycarbonate cover. Elster will
also support current OEM module
installation.
To meet Elster’s existing quality
standards, Elster will calibrate and test
AB1G meters and we will offer the
same warranty, manufacturing quality
controls, calibration standards, and
calibration reports that are normally
supplied with our products. Elster will
continue to support customer-specific
serial numbers as in the past.
Elster prides itself both in the quality
of its products supplied and in being
a good steward of the environment.
Recycling good electromechanical
meters not only fulfills our responsibility
and commitment to the environment
but also meets the needs of the new
secondary meter market.
Elster solutions for bridging to
the future
Many of our customers have stated that
they intend at some point to install AMI
communicating meters and systems
but have not determined the specifics
for the business case or have budget to
proceed. Elster has an exciting suite of
products to offer customers who face
this dilemma.
We can provide to the customer a
REX2-EA™, single phase or urban
network meter that has communications
technology installed, but can be used
as a non-communicating meter. When
the customer decides that the time is
right for a systems deployment, they
only have to install the collectors and
the MAS communications server and
AMI functionality can be realized.
There is no need for the meters that have
been installed to be revisited, therefore,
eliminating the need for costly visits
back to the field locations. Moreover,
the customer can use this approach to do

Carhartt Launches FR Knit Program
The National Electric Safety
Code’s, newly regulated policy
requiring all electrical utility
workers to wear protective
Flame-Resistant (FR) clothing,
is driving more consumers to
purchase FR apparel in order
to meet the safety codes of
their occupations.
Carhartt, a Michigan-based
manufacturer of premium workwear,
offers a full line of FR workwear
products that will meet the needs of
any electrical utility worker on the job
during any season.
Carhartt also offers three knit styles
for women, specifically designed to
fit the female form. Provided that care
instructions are followed, all Carhartt
knits are inherently flame-resistant and
will remain flame-resistant for the life of
the garment.
Carhartt FR workwear serves
electricians and workers in the utility,
oil, gas and petrochemical fields who
are at risk of exposure to electric arc
and flash fires.
With warmer months approaching,
Carhartt launched an FR knit program
last February. Carhartt’s FR knit
garments are not only comfortable and
breathable, but provide the user with
HRC 2 level protection at 9.8 Cal/CM²
in interlock T-shirts, and 18.5 Cal/CM²
with sweatshirts.
The Carhartt FR knit program bridges
the gap for comfortable and durable
FR apparel, new and loyal Carhartt
consumers who are now required to
wear FR can find their favorite styles
from the Carhartt core line available
in FR styles.
Carhartt currently offers three styles
of long-sleeve knit tops and one style
zip-front sweatshirt. The knit longsleeve line includes a T-shirt, a Henley,
and a mock turtleneck – all 6.5-ounce
knit blend of 55 percent modacrylic
and 45 percent cotton. The FR Hooded
Zip-Front Sweatshirt is a 10-ounce knit
blend of 55 percent modacrylic and
45 percent cotton. All Carhartt knit
options come in a variety of sizes and
colors with clearly marked HRC labels.

Improve reliability and safety with low
cost maintenance!
The first polymer housed metal
oxide varistor (MOV) surge
arresters were introduced more
than 20 years ago. The evolution to polymer housed MOV
arresters brought two major improvements
to surge protection over the older porcelain
housed silicon carbide technology –
improved surge protection and safety.
Gapless MOV technology is a steady
state technology that does not require a
large series of internal gaps, unlike silicon
carbide technology. With the elimination
of gaps, and the superior electrical turn on
characteristics, MOV arresters are able to
limit surges to lower levels and provide
significantly better protection for equipment
and insulators. For example, a typical
10kV silicon carbide arrester limited a
10,000 amp surge to 65kV where as a
typical MOV arrester limits the same surge
to 41kV. Based on the ANSI application
guide, silicon carbide arresters provide
46% protective margin versus 132% for
MOV arresters. Nearly three times better
protection!
The vast majority of the porcelain
housed distribution arresters used were
not designed with a pressure relief or fault
withstand capability. Consequently, when
porcelain arresters reach their end of life,
the available fault current at their location
may be great enough to cause the housing
to fragment, and the resultant pressure can
cause pieces to propel in all directions.
Porcelain housed substation arrester were
designed with pressure relief capability,
however the aging of the components
can cause fragmentation under high fault
currents. Polymer housed arresters, both
distribution and substation, have nonfragmenting housings and meet the latest
requirements for fault withstand capability.
Distribution arresters typically withstand
20,000 amps of fault current, and substation
arresters up to 80,000 amps, with only the
potential for polymer material expelling.
Polymer housed arresters clearly provide a
safer operating environment!
These two features have now been taken
for granted. Every new arrester installation
has these benefits. What is forgotten is that
every old porcelain arrester still out there
provides less protection than is available
today, and typically on the oldest equipment
that needs better protection than new
construction. During periods like today,
when housing starts are at their lowest
level in decades and the economy is in a
recession, the tendency is to halt nearly all
construction work. The proactive utility
will use this time to accelerate preventative
maintenance! Replacing old silicon carbide
arresters with Polymer Housed MOV
arresters is the most effective means of
improving reliability and safety, affordably!
NEMA has developed an information
website to assist utilities with understanding
this opportunity and how to identify old
porcelain silicon carbide arresters at www.
NEMAARESSTERS.com.

Structure and Stability Define TORK’s 5200
Series Utility Grade Electronic Photocontrols
This series has a FAIL ON
mode for use where the extreme
accuracy of an electronic
photocontrol is required.
In the event of failure, lights will stay
ON for safety reasons. ON and OFF are
stable regardless of ambient temperature
change. Delayed turn OFF of 3-5
seconds reduces false switching from
stray light or vehicles, and operation
is consistent across the operating
temperature range. Rugged and reliable
DC operated relay provides chatter-free
operation, and there is minimum power
dissipation across the light sensor. The
5231 and 5237 turn ON at 1.5FC with a
silicon photosensor, and are a superior
choice for lower total life cycle costs.
Speaking of costs, there are applications
requiring a little more energy saving
capability. The flexible 5737TM fits
ordinary turn-lock sockets providing
far greater energy savings. Acting like a
photocontrol AND time switch, 5737TM
turns ON at dusk, OFF at your selected
time, ON at your selected time, and OFF
at dawn. It even re-learns and resets
itself after a power outage, so that no
maintenance is ever needed!

Reconditioning: Cost Effective Solution
for the Utility Industry
Aging and outdated
equipment directly
jeopardizes a utility’s
ability to safely and
reliably deliver high
quality power.
Auditing existing infrastructure
and replacing and refurbishing key
system components, especially
power breakers, are an essential
part of maintaining a robust
electrical delivery system.
Eaton’s Class 1 Reconditioning
for breakers helps to restore the
integrity of electrical protection
equipment to its required level
of reliability. It extends breaker
life, improves system reliability,
and provides an opportunity to
enhance system coordination. A
world leader in breaker engineering
and technology, Eaton uses the
most advanced equipment and
state-of-the-art testing standards to
ensure that a breaker maintains its
maximum capability.
Eaton’s Class 1 Reconditioning
method is an exclusive 6-point
process that begins with a
rigorous inspection and testing
on all incoming breakers. After
testing, the breaker is completely
disassembled to ensure that
any hidden cracks or defects
are detected and repaired or
replaced. Harsh cleaning methods
can damage or even remove
silver plating from surfaces and
improper lubrication can result
in mechanism and latch failures.
Therefore, the critical next step
is a careful cleaning of all parts
and lubricating of bearings. Once
the breaker is thoroughly cleaned
and refurbished, it is reassembled
according to OEM documentation,
regardless of whether the original
manufacturer is Eaton or another
manufacturer. Finally, each breaker
is tested to the manufacturer’s and
ANSI/IEEE standards. As a follow
up service, each breaker is entered
into Eaton’s database, which
provides instant, accessible history
and maintenance information on
the breaker.
Before
Eaton has five Aftermarket Centers
of Excellence (ACE) in North
America to perform its
Class 1 Reconditioning. Each
ACE strictly adheres to Eaton’s
program of standards and quality
processes, which means that
customers with multiple sites
will have all their breakers
reconditioned in exactly the same
manner.
Safety, reliability, and power
quality rely on all the components
and equipment in an electrical
delivery system performing at
optimum capability. Class 1
Reconditioning of breakers is an
essential step in safeguarding the
integrity of your power system.
After
Eaton offers full support to all
low voltage and medium voltage
circuit breakers regardless of
original manufacture.

Be Prepared for Burn Emergencies with
Water-Jel Fire Blankets and Burn Kits
There are fundamental requirements
of the NFPA 70E standard concerning
arc flash, but equally important is the
emphasis on assuring “Best Practices”
in assuring preventative personal
protection. When that is not enough,
WATER-JEL burn care products are
there to help.
WATER-JEL has been used for many
years by utility companies that want to
be prepared – when seconds count – on
the job. WATER-JEL Fire Blankets
and Burn Dressings are gel-soaked to
immediately extinguish flames (blankets)
and smoldering clothing while cooling
the skin, and dissipate the heat
preventing deeper damage to the

gel that consists of 96% water. In one
quick step, it cools burn injuries to
provide effective pain relief while
covering and protecting the injury.
It does not contain any drugs, it won’t
stick to burns, and because it does not
evaporate, it does not increase the risk
of hypothermia. It rinses off with water
at a medical facility and it has a
five-year shelf life.
All WATER-JEL products are
FDA-regulated and approved; they are
manufactured in an ISO -13485 and

The BURNDY HIW716ENF ENFORCER™
– A Revolutionary Wrench
®
What makes this wrench
revolutionary? The HIW716ENF
is the lightest, most ergonomic,
precision machined impact
wrench in its class with the
highest output torque. How is
this so?
For the past 40 years hydraulic impact
wrenches years have been made from
cast aluminum because it was the most
economical means of manufacturing.
Today, however, with advancements in
CNC machining and the availability of
high quality aluminum billet, critical
components such as the main body and
handle, can be precisely machined in a
cost effective manner, with the utmost
focus on quality and performance.
output torque of 515 ft-lbs will provide
utilities and associated construction
crews the most benefit whether doing
standard maintenance on roadside poles,
or reconductoring and reinsulating.
The daily task of drilling holes and
torquing down hardware just got a
whole lot easier with the HIW716ENF
ENFORCER™.
The ability to meet the variety of flow
rates always needs to be considered a
factor when it comes to low pressure
hydraulic systems. The HIW716ENF
ENFORCER™ was designed to handle
a wide range of flow rates from 4–12
GPM. In addition, the ENFORCER™
has a gear motor that is not affected by
back pressure and will not rub against
the housing causing premature wear and
tear. It also has a pressure compensated
flow control valve that allows excessive
flow to by-pass back to the tank. So no
matter how much fluid is being pushed
through the system, the ENFORCER™
is protected by the by-pass valve and
will run cooler, providing longer life.
“Rattle-guns,” as these impact wrenches
are known to be called, can produce
significant vibration and fatigue to
the hands of daily users. Weighing in
at just under 6 lbs, the HIW716ENF
was designed to be the lightest in its
class. Couple this with a trigger design
that doesn’t require full extension of
the users hand to squeeze, even with
lineman’s gloves, and you have a more
ergonomically designed wrench that
can help lessen carpal tunnel syndrome
ailments. This lightweight tool with its

are better for the environment. These
lamps are available in two popular color
temperatures: 3000K and 4000K.
These many attractive features
make these lamps an ideal choice
for downtown areas, colleges, and
universities, or anywhere visibility and
