True North Solutions is proud to announce that their organization has been named one of the 2022 Best Workplaces for Mental Wellness.

The Best Workplaces for Mental Wellness list is based on direct feedback from employees, who are surveyed by Great Place to Work. To be eligible for this list, organizations must be Great Place to Work – Certified in the past year and at least 75% of employees must agree their workplace is psychologically and emotionally healthy. True North received this honour based on a strong overall Mental Wellness Index Index score from their employees as well as the range and quality of programs they offer encouraging mental wellness.

“True North Solutions has worked hard to build a culture and team that has no equal. These efforts have been recognized multiple times through Best Workplaces in Canada (Great Place to Work awards); this year, we were honoured to see this extended to the Best Workplaces award for Mental Wellness,” said Darren Sharpe, Chief Operating Officer. “At True North, we know that self-care — taking the time to preserve one’s overall wellbeing — is critical. We recognize that anxiety, stress, depression, and other mental wellness-related issues can have extraordinary impacts to a person’s family relationships, their physical health, their ability to interact with friends and colleagues, and so forth. This award is humbling, as it recognizes the emphasis True North places on the overall wellness of our staff, and it validates that we still have a lot of work to do to ensure the ongoing supports are in place for all our team members. As we accept this award, it comes with the understanding that this is a mere step in a lifelong journey to ensuring our team members have the support they need and deserve.”

SmartD: VFD Leakage Current & Ground Fault Protection – Ensuring Safety & Compliance

Imagine a bustling manufacturing plant where machines produce thousands of components every hour. The electrical cabinets buzz with energy, and a labyrinth of cables branches out to every corner, connecting motors large and small. In one corner stands a shiny new Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) controlling a high-horsepower motor. Nearby, an experienced technician named Alex notices something on his handheld meter: a small current is flowing to the ground. At first, it might seem like no big deal, just a few milliamps. But is it dangerous? Or completely normal? This is the heart of the story, and it brings up a question that might be obvious to an experienced professional but still makes you think deeply: Why do we place so much emphasis on the small currents? Why do engineers and technicians, meticulously measure, analyze, and sometimes worry about these tiny currents that appear to do no harm? The reason, of course, is because these small currents can be indicators—indicators of normal operation, or signs of a potential problem that could cause serious safety issues. Welcome to the world of leakage current and ground faults in VFD systems. This article will explore these phenomena with a didactic approach, focusing on why they matter, how they behave, and what sets them apart, especially when looking at clean power VFDs. Whether you’ve spent decades in electrical systems or you’re just stepping into this specialized area, this exploration aims to reinforce the concepts and inspire you to dig deeper into the nuances of these tiny but critically important currents.
