    operation albeit with less airflow. Some power supplies adjust the power on the Fan Only circuit by case temperature. If your Molex-style fans run too loud, install a fan controller in a drive bay. You ll find them on major reseller sites such as Newegg (www.newegg.com) as well as on enthusiast sites...
  • Tackling the Dirty Dozen
    circuits, on the other hand, add cost and can lead to nuisance tripping. Keeping the following tips in mind will help avoid these mistakes. Specifying the wrong type of circuit breaker: This is the number one mistake. There are four basic types of breakers: thermal, magnetic, thermal magnetic...
  • Putting out the spark
    deionize and cool the gases emitted during an arc flash. The Masterpact arc-flash circuit breaker from Schneider Electric protects against both overcurrent and arc flash. The unique design opens quicker than traditional breakers. This reduces flash duration and lessens the likelihood of serious injury...
