Lightning striking the Eiffel Tower (1902)
I would like to share a problem I face when I have to install a surge protection device type 1 in high power electrical switchboard.
The situation is very “unconfortable” for me as a quality provider, because if a short-circuit of high value happens, though luckily probability is low, it would mean very serious safety risks …
For 2010, I’d like to continue to make this place more visible, invite more of you to share their point of view on my blog, keeping the focus on technical and business exchanges around panel building profession.
To support this development, I am considering different ideas :
1/ create a limited space opened to advertizing (limited size, on the side)
2/ open a possibility to “donate” (anybody who finds this blog interesting can give any amount, and I would in return add the logo of these donors on a dedicated page of the blog)
As this place is also yours, just quickly add a comment to say if yes or no you are OK with these ideas, or any other suggestion
