Instructor Jimmie Slemp Published in EC&M Magazine

Thursday, May 31, 2018

Our very own Instructor Jimmie Slemp had an article called "The Safety Net of Grounding and Bonding: Lack of a system bonding jumper produces shock hazard on a transformer" published in EC&M Magazine this past month! 
 
The article delves into a recent experience Jimmie had with an alumni, where: 
 
His company was performing a tenant improvement (TI) project at a strip mall when one of the construction workers received an electric shock. However, it was unclear what the worker was doing at the time he received the shock, and this obviously made it difficult for the team to locate the source of the voltage.
 
The rest is a mystery solved in the article, available online here , and also featured in the current print edition! Congratulations Jimmie, and we look forward to solving more mysteries with you, soon!
