ission-critical applications such as data centres, hospitals, airports, and military require continuity of power, which is also referred as availability. One means of improving availability of power is to keep the electrical
equipment energized while inserting or removing modules in low-voltage electrical equipment, such as UPSs and PDUs. This practice is commonly known as “energized swapping” and it can help ensure the continuity of power for capacity expansion (scalability) and also reduce mean time to recover (MTTR) if there is an issue. This type of work poses a potential risk to workers and requires electrical safe work practices. There are ultimately three parties with their own contributions to protecting workers.
This paper describes these three parties, their contributions for electrical safe work, and explains the
conditions for energized swapping. In addition to electrical safe work practices, recommended electrical equipment design attributes are also described that help reduce the risk of injury.

Ellis buoyed by Floyd appointment E
llis Patents has strengthened its UK-based export team with the appointment of Alex Floyd as export sales executive.
The Rillington-based cable cleat manufacturer is currently active in 45
export markets; and Alex’s appointment means the company now has a five strong export sales team based in the UK. In addition, it has local distributors in each of its export markets, and a business development manager for Latin America who works out of Montevideo, Uruguay.
Kelly Brown, Ellis’ head of sales, said: “The last 20-months have been
the most challenging I’ve known for export sales, both in terms of Covid and Brexit, but we have come through stronger.”
“Sales are strong, new specification opportunities in the pipeline are
incredibly high, and the nature of our relationship with our distributor network has never been better due to the replacement of irregular face-to-face meetings with regular video calls.
