The whole process is done by moving from a strength-training exercise to the next without stopping, then repeating the set at least one more time. This principle can be applied in swimming and calisthenics. In swimming the advice of aquatic masters is to “Play for effort over distance: short distance fast, short easy.” They suggest “pyramid sets”, which consists of 25 yards fast, then 25 yards easy. Then followed by increasing the distance to 50 yards fast and 50 easy to 100 yards fast then 100 yards easy resting 10 to 20 seconds in between sets. Calisthenics is a form of exercise consisting of a variety of simple movements without the use of equipment. They are intended to increase body strength and flexibility with movements such as bending, jumping, swinging, twisting or kicking, using only one’s body weight for resistance. Usually they are used with stretches. Calisthenics is used vigorously and with variety can benefit both muscular and cardiovascular fitness, in addition to improving psychomotor skills such 2 as balance, agility and coordination. Start with a three to four minute warm-up by doing 30 seconds of jumping jacks, 30 seconds of high knees, 30 of glute kicks, and 30 of jumping jacks. From there, go into a series of 15 squats, 15 lunges with your right leg and 15 with your left. Go to the floor and do 20 to 25 full or modified push-ups. Next turn over and sit, hands on floor behind you and raise your hips off the floor for 20 to 25 triceps dips. Repeat this sequence and this time pick up your pace. You are building up stamina. The third time around make it a sprint doing jumping jacks as fast as you can, high knees as fast as you can. Then finish with a ab work out. Go to the floor and do a plank for 30 seconds to a minute. Then turn onto your right side and do a side plank. Repeat on the left. In 20 minutes by doing intervals in this fashion you can really feel spent and that’s a good workout. As always check with your Dr. before starting any exercise program. Our classes consist of Interval training not difficult moves to do or difficult to learn. Check our Smoke Signals for scheduled class times. All of the classes are now held in the A.M. when it is still cool. Hope you join us. If you have any questions you can contact Susan at 675-2189, Mary at 287-8700 or Tina at 675-2093.

While the article goes into a more technical nature for most readers the information may help those who are planning to service their docks and may have power sources nearby swimming areas. Please visit their web site for more information related to this story. www.iaei.org Ground-Fault Protection for Marinas and Boatyards By Cari Williamette | September 30, 2010 | IAEI September-October 2010 Two young boys are excited about being at the lake for the first time that summer. While the parents unload the car, they quickly don their swimsuits and run down the dock. The first boy dives in, oblivious to the cold water. The second boy stops to consider if he should dive in also, or wade in slowly. Suddenly the first boy screams, begins thrashing in the water, and goes under. His friend dives in after him, feels the electric current flow through his body, causing his muscles to contract. He can’t force his body to swim, or even to stand up. He also goes under. By the time the parents can get to the dock, both boys are dead. While this particular scenario is fictitious, electric shock drowning happens far too often. The hazards of electric shock drowning were explored in a July–August 2007, IAEI News article by Jim Shafer. At that time, at least 42 drowning deaths in the southern United States had been attributed to electric shock. Monitoring of ground-fault currents in the water of marinas was recommended to mitigate the problem. The 2011 NEC, in a first step to address the problem of electric shock drowning, now requires ground-fault protection on all electrical feeds for marinas. The new code section, proposed by Joseph Fello of Eaton 6 Corporation, will mandate ground-fault protection with a trip setting not exceeding 100 mA. First, where would this new code section apply? Article 555, according to the scope, covers “fixed or floating piers, wharves, docks and other areas in marinas, boatyards, boat basins, boathouses, yacht clubs, boat condominiums, docking facilities associated with residential condominiums, and any multiple docking facility, or similar occupancies, and facilities that are used, or intended for use, for the purpose of repair, berthing, launching, storage, or fueling of small craft and the moorage of floating buildings.” This would seem to indicate that anytime power is taken from the shore out onto any structure in the water associated with boats or floating buildings, with the exception of private residential boat docks, it would have to comply with these requirements. Mooring areas for larger ocean-going vessels and barges, down to public piers and boat docks are all subject to the requirements of Article 555. Second, what equipment can be used to fulfill this requirement? GFCI protection, using a standard Class A GFCI breaker or device, is permitted as one option. UL standards require a trip setting of 4 – 6 mA on these items. Equipment Smoke Signals Monthly Newsletter • August 2012 ground-fault protective devices (EGFPD) vary from 6 – 50 mA trip ratings and are currently used for electric snow melting and deicing cables and similar installations. Ground-fault protection-for-equipment (GFPE) devices usually have a variable trip setting starting at around 30 mA. This last type of device is normally used to fulfill Section 230.95 requirements for services. All three of these options would meet the specifications of 555.3, providing the adjustable trip setting of the GFPE is set at not more than 100 mA. One other possibility, depending on the strict interpretation of the code section, would be a remote ground-fault sensor, set at not more than 100 mA, connected to a shunttrip breaker. While the main overcurrent protective device in this option would not actually have ground-fault detection, the overall system would be GFCI-protected. Second, what equipment can be used to fulfill this requirement? GFCI protection, using a standard Class A GFCI breaker or device, is permitted as one option.

While the main overcurrent protective device in this option would not actually have ground-fault detection, the overall system would be GFCI-protected. But how well would any of these options work? Nuisance tripping of GFCIs can be a frustrating problem. Most electronic devices, computers, TVs, and so forth, are limited to not more than .5 mA of leakage current to ground. By adding up the number of appliances on a single houseboat that could each have a leakage Visit Shawnee Lake's web site: www.shawneelake.org 7 SHAWNEE HILLS SAFETY ALERT current of .5 mA, it wouldn’t take long to exceed the 4 – 6 mA threshold of a standard GFCI breaker. Even the 50-mA trip rating of an EGFPD would soon be exceeded if the feeder is serving an entire pier of yachts. Using a GFPE main breaker for the feeder to a larger oceangoing vessel, with only a 100 mA trip setting may still create nuisance tripping issues. Layout of marina power will need to consider this issue. Using several smaller feeders, rather than one large feeder, with an EGFPD at a 50-mA setting may help minimize some of these problems. Running a separate branch circuit to each slip, with its own GFCI breaker, would limit the effect of tripping to only that one boat. Third, why is the Code requiring this? A quick Internet search for “electric shock drowning” will bring up a long list of deaths, and near deaths, that resulted from people coming in contact with electrified water. The source of the electricity in these situations can come from several different sources. Frequently, the source is power brought out from shore to power boat lifts, lights, receptacles, and so forth. The system was either never properly wired and grounded to start with or it deteriorated over time due to exposure to the elements, allowing energized conductors to come into contact with the water. But the source of the power can also be from on-board generators. If the generator becomes grounded to the metal hull of the boat, accidentally or on purpose, any unbalanced neutral current will be directed into the water around the boat. GFCI protection on the feeders and circuits going out onto the dock can protect from leakage currents on these systems. But the required GFCI protection called for in this Code article will not detect current in the water created by generators on boats. While this new Code requirement is 8 a move in the right direction, it may not actually accomplish its intention. Most authorities agree that it takes less than 100 mA of current flowing through the heart to cause death. This number can be much lower in women and children, and depends on the exact path through the body and the duration of the exposure. Muscles will contract at as little as 15 mA of current, making swimming impossible. But the Code requirement is a minimum 100 mA trip setting, which would not necessarily shut off the power before a person was electrocuted, or drowned due to their muscles seizing. This new Code requirement, while increasing marine safety, is not a cureall for guaranteeing freedom from electrical hazards. Extra consideration when designing electrical systems for marinas will be required to minimize nuisance tripping of the GFCI protection, and additional monitoring of the area for leakage current may be desirable. http://www.iaei.org/magazine/2010/09/ground -fault-protection-for-marinas-and-boatyards/ Smoke Signals Monthly Newsletter • August 2012 Policy: Classified ads in Smoke Signals are available as space allows FREE to all SHPOA members with current paid-up dues.
