Frequently asked questions about electrical engineering, systems, and controls

Our electrical engineering team works closely with clients to go beyond specific requirements, all through our tested design process without the need for oversight.

Plus, you can get answers to the most common questions before, during, and after a building’s renovation or retrofit.

Can we get a facility and energy assessment to estimate savings or costs?

Yes! R.E. Dimond has produced dozens of facility and energy assessments. For most projects in Indiana, solar is the most environmentally sustainable way of creating efficient savings within ten years. However, some project requirements may require the use of other technology.

Can you tell me how many lightbulbs we’d have to replace to notice savings on our energy bill?

It sounds insignificant, but yes! Our electrical engineering teams can identify ways to replace or retrofit existing lighting to save you money. In addition, by analyzing your building’s historical usage we can identify ways new technology — like LED bulbs — can work in tandem with lighting control, motion sensors, and renewable sources.

What are Arc Flash Studies and do we need one?

Any energized electrical system with a buildup of dust or corrosion, insulation issues, or an old insulation system that can no longer withstand the voltage it receives is at risk for an arc flash. Like lightning, an arc flash releases electrical energy and heat that can cause severe burns and death.

Short circuit studies are similar in scope. Short circuit studies measure the amount of abnormal currents flowing throughout a power system at various time intervals after a “fault” occurs.

Arc flash and short circuit studies are done on equipment to determine the risk of injury.

The studies give you actionable recommendations for arc flash protection and improved circuit reliability. R.E. Dimond can also instruct your team and staff about the present dangers and arc flash safety.

What is power factor correction and do I need it?

Power factor calculations help improve the existing power factor in a plant or system. These calculations measure the ratio of real power to apparent power. By maintaining a high power factor, you can avoid costly energy bills. They can also improve voltage profiles and reduce power failures.

One of our electrical engineers can help you identify the potential value of power factor correction studies.

Upgrade your building’s lighting, power, and electrical safety with R.E. Dimond and Associates

Lighting creates a functional environment and enhances a room or structure’s mood, character, safety, and experience.

R.E. Dimond and Associates can help you conserve energy, encourage productivity, and reduce long-term maintenance.

Many new advances in technology, plus renewed interest in sustainability and strengthening energy codes, make lighting designers and engineers critical to any retrofit or building project.

R.E. Dimond and Associates is a member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), Building Industry Consulting Service International (BICSI) and Illuminating Engineering Society of North America (IES).
