Please describe the publication's mission and readership:
EC&M magazine is the technical authority for 130,000+ electrical professionals who design, construct, and maintain electrical systems for all types of businesses and industries. The EC&M audience includes consulting electrical engineers in private practice; electrical contractors with in-house engineers, designers, estimators, and project managers; and plant facility personnel working in industrial plants and/or commercial and industrial facilities. The magazine serves its audience through a mix of in-depth technical articles, market and construction forecasts, and comprehensive product reviews.
Please describe the enterprising work that went into this entry and its significance or impact on readers:
Most facilities managers think busway is maintenance-free. There are no moving parts, so what could go wrong? This piece, presented in photo gallery form, demonstrates how you can prevent system components from becoming the next example of catastrophe. Failures can be prevented when busway is maintained according to the OEM maintenance instructions and industry-standards recommendations. In the long run, the costs to perform proper busway inspection and maintenance are substantially less than the costs and business disruptions resulting from an unexpected arcing ground fault. This piece takes technical information and makes it more digestible in an easy-to-read format with captions and 13 photos, helping readers ensure that all maintenance is performed at recommended frequencies to prevent catastrophic damages and business interruptions. This photo gallery complements the full article, “Understanding Electrical Busway Vulnerabilities,” which ran in the August 2015 print issue, by giving readers a visual format for a very technical subject in order to demonstrate the key points of the content more effectively.
