In Episode 57 of “EC&M On Air,” Ellen Parson, editor-in-chief of EC&M, is highlighting some of the most popular technical content we’ve been running recently, but this time brought to you in audio-only form. In case you missed it, this content was originally brought to you in our EC&M Asks Q&A video series.

In this episode, we’re featuring subject matter expert Tommy Northcott, who addresses some of our readers’ most pressing questions about electrical maintenance. Tommy starts with a discussion on the direct connection between electrical safety and electrical equipment maintenance. For background, he provides a brief history of electrical maintenance over the years, which ultimately resulted in the creation of NFPA 70B, Recommended Practice for Electrical Equipment Maintenance, and how this recommended practice officially became a standard as of 2023.
