Casey Porter Editor, Electrical Engineering Magazine
elcome to May’s issue of Electrical Engineering. This May we are taking a look at the journey to net zero and how it is no longer a distant goal, as well as how the electrical engineering world is playing a major role in making it real. In this issue, we’re focusing on the technologies and practices that are helping us get there, from smarter energy systems to more efficient designs. Panel building is a big part of that picture. Whether it’s speeding up installation, improving safety, or adding flexibility for future upgrades, the way we design and build panels is evolving fast. And while we’re thinking about building better systems, we’re also diving into surge and circuit protection; essential elements that often don’t get the spotlight they deserve. With the rise of automation, EVs and digital infrastructure, reliable protection isn’t just nice to have; it’s critical. As always, we aim to bring you a mix of real-world insight, expert advice and new ideas to take back to the job site, workshop, or design desk. Whether you’re in the field or planning for the future, there’s something here for you.
W Enjoy the read!
