this new environment, electrical designers and installers will need to have a solid grasp of the frameworks, lexicons, protocols and regulations surrounding PoE and IoT networks.
Although PoE has been around for some time, until recently the technology was only capable of powering small devices with a low power demand of 15.4 to 30W, such as keypads, telephones, or alarm systems. However, the last few years have seen PoE technology develop to such an extent that one cable can provide up to 100W of power as well as high-speed data exchange, extending the reach of PoE to computers, televisions,

According to the police, crime fell by 28% when Britain went into lockdown to battle the coronavirus at the height of the pandemic. While many have been spending more time at home in lockdown, burglaries have been significantly reduced –but this could all change as restrictions are lifted. Now with the easing of lockdown and people returning to work and going out more, experts are warning of the return of the burglars taking advantage of empty homes. Among the top tips that are recommended to keep homes and gardens safe is good security and this is where smart technology can come into play. ESP is advising installers to talk to vigilant during this vulnerable period which will extend through to the dark evenings of winter, when historically most burglaries tend to take place. Being able to advise their customers about a range of security solutions that are available to protect their homes puts installers in position of trust. It will allow them to make recommendations based on the householder’s requirements, whether for a whole new system approach or the upgrade of tired and worn out equipment. Many householders are already adopting technology to enhance various aspects of life and will be keen to embrace smart security as a measure to protect their premises. Smart doorbells are an increasingly popular security option, allowing users to see who is at the door before answering it. A Wi-Fi door station connects directly to a smart phone, o ering instant front door security ESP’s latest Aperta for a wide range of applications and o er a benefits to make them an ideal choice for providing superior protection. They come in a kit form, containing everything required for the installer to quickly and simply get the system up and running. For a quick and straight forward installation with primary functions, there is a rechargeable battery version available. For installs which require lock release, low voltage wired version is available. As well as Wi-Fi function, the wired version also provides an alternative Ethernet connection if Wi-Fi is unavailable. 1080p live view, visitor recording, automatic motion detection, and clear two-way audio are some of the key features available via the subscription-free ESP Smart App. Both the wired and battery powered models feature expandable storage capacity – up to 128GB (8GB supplied). The battery powered model now includes a system hub which sits between the door power demanding features such as Wi-Fi connectivity, video record and remote door station’s battery is dedicated to activations only, thus improving battery performance and e ciency. The new models are o ered in two colours – black and silver –and are complete with internal RF door chimes. With lockdown restrictions easing as we head into the winter, ESP is recommending that installers educate their customers on the need for home security solutions. Here we find out why.

A partnership between the Government and industry to secure essential talent in the UK construction sector –the Construction Talent Retention Scheme – has been announced. Consisting of an online portal that supports redeployment of sta at risk of redundancy across the sector, while also enabling temporary employee loans between businesses, the Scheme gives displaced workers from other sectors a route to find new employment in construction. ECA CEO, Steve Bratt, commented: “ECA supports the Construction Talent Retention Scheme as a further mechanism for keeping people employed and retaining valuable skills within the industry. “The key to ensuring this works for employers will be in the detail, which we look forward to contributing to. “Engineering and electrotechnical skills are vital for delivering housing and infrastructure, as well as decarbonising and digitalising the economy. It is therefore key that as many skilled workers as possible are retained in employment or active work within the industry.” The not-for-profit programme now has funding secured until the end of the financial year, providing a free online platform for any organisation looking to hire, while ensuring that candidates’ skills and experience are given a prominent platform within the industry. A new assessment process to recognise electricians’ existing skills and experience has been launched by the electrotechnical industry. The ‘Experienced Worker Assessment’ (EWA), which will replace the JIB Mature Candidate Assessment, accredits occupational competence for people who have been working as an electrician for typically over five years, but haven’t been able to complete an apprenticeship or achieve an equivalent Level 3 vocational qualification. Available from City & Guilds and EAL training centres, the new EWA is based on the same content as the current electrotechnical apprenticeship, so both new entrants and existing workers are assessed and accredited to the same industry standard. Before embarking on the EWA, candidates have to complete a Scan’ to help them consider the route is right for them, before working with a training provider to complete the Experienced Worker qualification via combination of assessments and portfolio building. To complete the whole assessment process, learners will have to gain the updated Experienced Worker Qualification, which comprises six practical performance units, plus units for BS 7671:2018 and Initial Verification. Once the qualification is gained, learners must undertake the AM2E assessment, which mirrors the AM2S End Point Assessment taken by apprentices at the end of their training.

After all, not all issues with installations can be seen by the naked eye. In this regard, thermal imaging equipment has become a much-needed staple of an electrician's tool-kit. Being able to find equipment, such as swithgear or motors, that's running at excessive temperatures could mean they're subject to fail, or even catch fire in some circumstances. Some higher-end models of thermal imaging equipment can run into thousands of pounds, so the Bosch GTC 400 C provides more entry level route into the market, particularly for those electricians who may be new to the technology. That said, it's functionality far outweighs it's price point, and the resolution quality is comparable to those at the higher end of the equipment market. One thing particularly liked about the product was the easy point and shoot method of taking thermal pictures, utlising the unit's pistol grip design. This makes it just as easy as using digital camera, even with a 3.5” screen showing the user their field of vision. Having an on-board Wi-Fi hotspot is another nice feature, as this allows you to transfer the pictures from the camera whilst on-site without having a Wi-Fi connection available. Alternatively, you can simply transfer them by attaching the included USB lead to a laptop or a computer. From my own personal work, being able to show hotspots on switchgear has been an invaluable tool these past couple information and supporting pictures to show the client what the issue is and what they can do to remedy it. This is particularly useful, because if it’s something that might cause a fire, that particular part of the installation can be isolated, meaning damage to a client's premises can be minimised or downtime for a company can be reduced. Because you can pointpoint an issue clearly, this allows you and the client to factor in a shutdown at a more convenient time. It also helps enormously with the communication aspect of the job as showing clients clear evidence of your findings is half the battle won. The camera comes in tough case which is pretty-much electrician-proof and is the sort of thing you'd want to see your valuable piece of equipment In future, I'd like to see the addition of a padded sleeve that you can put the camera into while you're on-site as this would mean less trips to/from the tool-kit when you're out on the job. The option of Steve Hewish, Approved Electrician at Turrell Ltd (Electrical Contractors), turns up the heat this month as he tries out the Bosch GTC 400 C thermal imaging camera.

The rapid digitisation of industry, smart buildings, data centres, and energy grids o ers businesses huge potential to turn data into a business opportunity. By the end of 2018, there were an estimated 22 billion Internet of Things (IoT) connected devices in use around the world, while Industrial IoT (connected devices in factories, warehouses etc.) is expected to add an astonishing £10.7 trillion to the global economy by 2030. Two in one For the electrotechnical sector, Power over Ethernet (PoE) technology o ers a number of benefits. PoE means passing electrical power through an Ethernet cable alongside data. Devices which are PoE capable can therefore be connected to both a power source and a network through a single cable. With IoT networks predicted to grow exponentially, power and data infrastructures will become increasingly complex. Clients will very soon need a solution that converges both power and data, which is why PoE will most likely shape the network ecosystem of tomorrow. To thrive in
high-power wireless networks, LED lighting, and more. Eventually, PoE is set not only to underpin the expansion of the Internet of Things (IoT), but it may go on to encompass the industrial, commercial and domestic sectors. Progress with PoE is continual. Manufacturers are now producing PoE systems that minimise power losses across the length of the power chain, from conversion at the PoE power sourcing equipment (PSE) output, through to delivery to the powered device (PD), and conversion back to the various required voltages. Furthermore, significant e ciency (and cost) savings are possible when PoE is used on IoT networks in Building Energy Management Systems – a key consideration for building managers and electricians alike. More (DC) power to you The electrotechnical JPEL/64 BSI Committee continues to work for the inclusion of DC power over IT cables for Part 7 of the Wiring Regulations (BS 7671). ECA is closely involved in this work, and we will update members as we make progress in this increasingly important arena. To make the most of this emerging ensure they're in position to advise clients on how to e ectively utilise PoE in their buildings. TECHNICAL & TRAINING POWER OVER ETHERNET –WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS?
