Kentucky’s Lasting Love Affair with BourbonWeary Kentucky settlers—daunted by the task of getting crops to market over narrow trails and steep mountains—put their heads together and landed upon an inspired solution. Converting corn and other grains to bourbon not only made the goods easy to transport and prevented excess grain from spoiling, but it provided settlers a welcome diversion from the rough and often tedious life on the frontier. Established in 1785, Bourbon County is one of Kentucky’s oldest counties. As an early hub of the whiskey trade, farmers shipped whiskey in oak barrels stamped from Bourbon County down the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers, all the way to New Orleans. The long trip aged the whiskey, while the oak wood provided a distinct mellow flavor and amber color. As whiskey from Bourbon County grew in popularity, the liquor became known simply as “Bourbon”. |
Protecting Your Industrial Control PanelsThe codes are constantly changing, are you prepared? NFPA 70, The National Electric Code (NEC), has many changes in each edition, and each state adopts the most recent edition at a different pace. For example, Kentucky and Ohio have adopted the 2017 edition, Florida uses the 2014 edition, and Indiana still uses the 2008 edition. Combined with the local Authority Having Jurisdiction’s (AHJ) interpretation of the NEC, it gets very confusing very quickly! One of the changes that is slowly being instituted by some local AHJ’s is the Short-Circuit Current Rating (SCCR) being applied to Industrial Control Panels. Basically, SCCR is all about safety. It tells us how much short-circuit current a device can withstand without shocking you, exploding, or causing a fire outside of its enclosure. It is important to note that the SCCR is different from the Interrupting Rating. The Interrupting Rating is the maximum current we normally see and use with overcurrent protective devices such as circuit breakers and fuses. In addition to the Interrupting Rating, breakers and fuses have SCCR values assigned to them that can be easily overlooked, and the SCCR will vary by the type of breaker and fuse. A 600 amp circuit breaker may have a SCCR of 60,000 amps, 50,000 amps, or 42,000 amps, depending on the type of breaker you purchase. |
