Enjoy.
elcome to the December/January issue of Electrical Engineering magazine, where we explore the latest innovations, trends and breakthroughs in the world of electrical engineering. As we close out the year and usher in a new one, we take a look at the technologies and developments that have shaped the industry, and provide insights into what the future holds.
This issue features in-depth articles on cutting-edge research, emerging technologies and applications across a variety of sectors, from Lighting and Lighting Controls and Smart Building and IoT advancements to Arc Flash risks and other matters relating to safety in engineering.
Discussing arc flash is, I feel, specifically important as it raises awareness of a significant workplace hazard in electrical environments. By addressing the risks, organisations can implement proper safety protocols, provide protective gear and train employees on safe practices to minimise incidents. Understanding arc flash hazards also helps in compliance with safety regulations and industry standards, reducing liability and fostering a culture of safety. Open dialogue ensures that workers are prepared and equipped to handle potential electrical risks, ultimately preventing accidents and saving lives. Whether you are an experienced professional or a newcomer to the field, this edition offers valuable knowledge so that you can stay at the forefront of the ever-evolving electrical engineering landscape. Enjoy this month’s look at the exciting changes ahead and how they will impact our 2025.
