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 hurt people, equipment and investments.

Ferraz Shawmut prides itself on delivering problem-solving products, including its Fused Selective Coordination Panels. Each Ferraz Shawmut Fused Selective Coordination Panel is a UL67-listed panelboard that uses the market-leading class CC Ultrasafe(TM) fuse holders with easy-to-see blown fuse indicators (fuses provided separately to suit specific loads during installation). The compact size and removable backpan allow for easier installation by contractors.

The first three P.IQ tests in 2009 were on arc flash hazard protection, solar power circuit protection and overvoltage protection. Archived versions of the tests are available at us.ferrazshawmut.com/PIQarchive. The new P.IQ quiz on Selective Coordination is currently running at us.ferrazshawmut.com/PIQPR.
