Last year, the Ford Escape outsold the Honda CR-V and the Toyota RAV4. In its final full year of production, Ford sold more than 250,000 examples of its small crossover, a feat made all the more remarkable—fleet sales and incentives notwithstanding—by the fact that all those Escapes were essentially the same vehicle that Ford introduced for 2001. There were some cosmetic and mechanical updates along the way, but the Escape was getting old. Still, with such strong sales, Ford didn't particularly need to completely remake the Escape. But it did just that. The 2013 Escape marks a complete departure from the crossover SUV it replaces.

The Brazilian petroleum and chemical industry had basically used medium-voltage (MV) power assemblies based on ANSI/NEMA for many years. However, in the last three decades, due to the Brazilian Standard Association orientation, the users and manufacturers have been changing their philosophies to the IEC culture. As there has been an everyday increase in the opportunity and also in the need of MV electrical power distribution in petrochemical facilities, there is the chance of adopting an MV switchgear or controlgear design based on ANSI or IEC standards, according to each plant specifications. Although the use and design of MV assemblies are based on the electric power system needs and characteristics, they are also a result of the current scenario and experience of a specific petrochemical facility. Since both ANSI and IEC universes have strong experience, knowledge, and huge safety concerns in electrical equipment design and application, the fi...
