Ferraz Shawmut Protection I.Q. Program Tests Electrical Distributor, Contractor, OEM And MRO Knowledge Of Solar Power Circuit Protection
Newburyport, MA - Ferraz Shawmut, a global leader in the field of circuit protection, challenges customers to see if they're up to speed on electrical circuit protection. With the educational Protection Intelligence Quotient (P.IQ) program, design engineers, specifiers, electrical professionals and equipment manufacturers discover how much they know about the hazards that can harm people, equipment and investments.
"It was great to win a prize and learn some very useful information in the process," said Rick Wilson of Oliver Springs, Tenn. "The quiz was very user friendly. The demonstrations made them more memorable."
Other P.IQ test-takers have noted that the tests are "a great way to expose people to electrical protection concerns" and it is "informative, fun and educational." Others felt the test on Solar Power was, in particular, "good and in the right GREEN direction."
The following six winners received a $100 gas card from the P.IQ program drawing: R. Berkshire of San Juan Capistrano, Calif., M. Forakis of W. Jordan, Utah, S. Glidden and F. Shiflett both of Phoenix, Ariz., R. Wilson, Oliver Springs, Tenn., and D. Zachow, Check, Va.
"Based on all the positive feedback we received from last year's P.IQ test, we have made a commitment to feature at least three new tests this year," said Stephen Colvin, Vice President of Marketing at Ferraz Shawmut.
The first P.IQ test in 2009 was on Solar Power circuit protection. An archived version of the test is available at http://us.ferrazshawmut.com/PIQarchive/index.html. A new P.IQ quiz on overvoltage protection is currently running at http://us.ferrazshawmut.com/PIQPR. Additional tests on industrial controls and arc flash are planned for later in the year.
