NEWBURYPORT, MA (January 30, 2012) - Mersen, formerly Ferraz Shawmut, announces that it recently published a new Protection Intelligence Quotient (PIQ) Quiz on thermal protection. This is the latest quiz in an ongoing program which challenges participants to see if they're up to speed on the best practices in electrical safety. The quiz is online at ep-us.mersen.com/PIQ.

"We are clearly filling a need for electrical protection and safety information," said Stephen Colvin, vice president of marketing at Mersen.
