05a8389dc2503775a3110079eebd0fdCanadian Author Bei La

Canadian writer Bei La, born in Shanghai, recently completed a non-fiction work titled The Tears of the Skylark. This is her first work since she left Shanghai and returned to Canada two years ago. Through a skylark, a farewell song was sung about the prosperity and loneliness, brightness and darkness, disaster and redemption of Shanghai over the past hundred years.

Mike Medavoy and Bei La

This work was completed during her travels, including the Lake Mochizuki in Hokkaido, Beverly Hills, Concord in Massachusetts, Vancouver Harbour, Niagara Town, and an isolated island on Lake Ontario. This is hertribute paid as the meditation on Henry David Thoreau’s Walden.

The Cursed Piano

The book records the thrilling journey of her maternal grandfather as a survivor of the shocking Jiangyashipwreck in December 1948, which had a death toll even far exceeding that of the Titanic. She describes her father, who was a military doctor, taking the risk of hiding more than ten ancestral gold bars and jewelry in the soil of his own iron tree during the Cultural Revolution, avoiding the fate of being confiscated but enduring the hardships brought by wealth. She also depicts the extraordinary significance of the Christian faith of her parents’ family to their lives. And she looksback at the distorted era when she was criticized for peeking at world classics in her youth. She witnesses the human nature revealed by the COVID-19 epidemic around the world……

What made Bei La decide to give up her luxurious life in Shanghai was not her experiences during the quarantine hotel and lockdown period, but rather, as a human being, everything she experienced during those special times has passed away with the wind. She left because she was called and pulled by a free soul. When a writer sees desolation amidst the hustle and bustle, yearning for tranquility amidst the clamor, and seeking her own “Walden”in the endless wilderness, she is awakened by literature.

“The farther away from one’s hometown in terms of geographical location, the closer the hometown in literature,” said Bei La.

She wrote in this book: Humans are immersed in a large sphere, gradually shrouded in anxiety, fear, absurdity, nothingness, and despair. In the ever-changing world, the unpredictability of fate has become a human destiny. This is an era that has become indifferent to tragedy. Any pain is futile. When a person is far away from the hustle and bustle, you will hear your own voice, and your soul will return to the wilderness of freedom.

The girl doesn’t speak

But it tells of sadness;

The silence of the river

Only records the years;

Time daydreaming

But it answered everything

This is the skylark singing: “Please give me the freedom to fall deeply in love with someone, give me the courage to embrace you tightly. Please give me a path to explore truth, and give me the power to find light in darkness,even if it requires sacrificing my life.”

“No matter what she has experienced or is currently experiencing,Bei La can always extract beneficial nutrients from hardships and transform them into valuable literary wealth. The light of brightness and hope has not disappeared in her eyes for a second. She stands at the spiritual pole and her thoughts far exceed those of contemporary writers. This is the best annotation that Shanghai Bei La can become the world’s Bei La,” said her literary agent An Boshun.

French Opera:The Lover of Shanghai

The French opera Shanghai Lovers adapted from Bei La’ novel was accomplished on May 24th at the Fontainebleau Theater. This opera has 13 scenes and is expected to be performed in 2 hours and 10 minutes. The lineup is very strong, reproducing the bustling modernity and true love of Shanghai a century ago. The rivers of this Far Eastern city are full of her spirit of embracing all rivers.

This French opera that reproduces Bei La’s hometown will premiere in Paris and tour the world.

Bei La

Bei La is a Canadian citizen born in Shanghai. As a contemporary writer of romanticism and humanitarianism, she also serves as a Visiting Researcher for the Institute of Arts and Humanities in Shanghaijiao Tong University. She has published over a dozen novels, including “The Cursed Piano”, “Song of Survivors”, “Sentimental Casablanca”, etc. Over the years, Bei La has focused her literary creation and researches on “Jews in Shanghai”. During the past two decades, she has visited Jews across the world who lived or were born in Shanghai, gathering a large number of first-hand historical materials. The “Jews in Shanghai” series is designed to include ten books. Howard Goldblatt, a renowned Jewish American sinologist, is the English translator of her works. “The Cursed Piano”, the last work of British playwright Ronald Harwood who is the Oscar Winner of Best Screenplay for “The Pianist”, is based on Bei La’s novel of the same name, also known as the companion piece of “The Pianist”. Bei La’s work “Song of the Survivors” is regarded as the Shanghai version of “Gone with the Wind”. “Song of Survivors” is based on the experience of Mike Medavoy’s parents in Shanghai during World War II. Mike grew up and became a top Hollywood producer who is an eight-time Oscar Winner of Best Picture with films such as “One Flew over the Cuckoo’s Nest”. With love and faith as the main thread, Bei La’s works portray the humanitarian spirit of her hometown Shanghai by demonstrating the shared emotions and destiny of human beings, and fleshing out the wisdom and humor of the Jews, who showed tremendous optimism and resilience in the face of misery and uprooted existence. With an eye for love and beauty, Bei La tells the stories of Jews related to Shanghai, spreading the seed of love and faith to the world. In addition to her literary creation, as a music and art lover, Bei La also performed the piano solo “Butterfly lovers“ in a concert of the Israeli pianist Yaron Kolberg, and she once gave a concert at the Shanghai Concert Hall as well.

ABR Electric: Prevent Electrical Overloads with Safe EV Charger Installations in McKinney, TX

Published

on

November 28, 2024

By

As the EV market expands and revolutionizes transportation, the demand for reliable home charging solutions is skyrocketing. ABR Electric recognizes that this growth highlights the critical need for technical expertise and cutting-edge infrastructure to deliver seamless charging experiences for EV owners.

McKinney, Texas, United States, 28th Nov 2024 – ABR Electric Highlights Nuisance Tripping Challenges in EV Charging Stations for McKinney, TX Homeowners. As the electric vehicle (EV) revolution accelerates with leading brands like Tesla, Rivian, Lucid, and Ford Mach-E, homeowners are increasingly looking for reliable solutions to support home charging needs. The transition to sustainable transportation is ushering in a new era of EV infrastructure development, but it also comes with challenges. A critical issue arising from updated electrical codes is the nuisance tripping of Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) breakers, disrupting the convenience of at-home EV charging.

ABR Electric, a trusted provider of residential electrical services in McKinney, TX, is stepping up to address these challenges, helping local residents adapt their home electrical systems to meet the demands of modern EV infrastructure. As the EV market continues to expand and transform how we power transportation, the demand for robust home charging solutions is surging. This growth underscores the need for both technical expertise and innovative infrastructure to ensure seamless charging experiences for EV owners.

Collin County’s Populated Areas: Ensuring Seamless EV Charging ABR Electric’s services extend across McKinney, Allen, Plano, Frisco, and surrounding communities in Collin County. Residents in zip codes such as 75071, 75070, 75072 (McKinney), 75013, 75002 (Allen), 75025, 75023, 75093 (Plano), and 75034, 75035 (Frisco) can count on ABR Electric to deliver tailored solutions that meet their specific EV charging needs. With a rapidly growing population in these areas, the demand for reliable EV infrastructure has surged. Homeowners are seeking expert services to upgrade electrical panels, install hardwired chargers, and address nuisance tripping issues caused by updated NEC codes. ABR Electric’s local expertise ensures that residents in these bustling communities can transition to EV ownership with confidence, knowing their charging systems are designed to meet both current and future requirements for sustainable living.

 The Impact of NEC Code Changes on EV Charging The 2020 National Electrical Code (NEC) introduced a significant update with Article 625.54, mandating that all NEMA 14-50 receptacles used for EV charging stations must include Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protection. This update reflects the NEC’s overarching commitment to enhancing safety standards as electric vehicle (EV) adoption continues to rise. By requiring GFCI protection, the code aims to prevent electric shocks and reduce the risk of fire hazards, cutting off power immediately if a ground fault is detected. This safeguard is particularly crucial for EV charging, given the higher electrical loads involved and the frequent use of outdoor or semi-exposed charging setups where moisture or other environmental factors can increase risk.

However, while this update underscores the NEC’s proactive approach to safety, it has introduced a layer of complexity for homeowners and electricians alike. Nuisance tripping—a phenomenon where the GFCI mechanism shuts off power unnecessarily—has become a common frustration during EV charging sessions. This issue is often attributed to the inherent electrical characteristics of some EV chargers, which can generate ground fault currents that are within safe operating levels but still trigger the GFCI’s sensitive protection mechanism.

The code’s intent aligns with the broader industry shift toward making homes and electrical systems safer, but it also highlights the need for education and adaptation. Electricians must now navigate the balance between compliance and functionality, often working closely with homeowners to troubleshoot and mitigate nuisance tripping issues. For instance, selecting the right combination of EV chargers and GFCI-protected outlets, ensuring proper grounding, and adhering to manufacturer guidelines can help reduce the likelihood of such interruptions.

As the EV market expands with models like Tesla, Rivian, Lucid, and Ford Mach-E leading the charge, the NEC’s guidelines will continue to evolve to accommodate new technologies and use cases. This evolution underscores the importance of staying current with code updates and collaborating with licensed electricians who are familiar with the latest standards. For homeowners, understanding these requirements and their implications not only ensures safety but also optimizes the charging experience for their electric vehicles.

.

Why Nuisance Tripping Happens Many Level 2 EV chargers, like the Tesla Wall Connector, already incorporate internal GFCI protection. When this is paired with the external GFCI protection mandated by the code, the overlapping systems can create unintended electrical interference. This redundancy often results in the circuit breaker tripping unnecessarily—even when no actual ground fault exists.

Homeowners may wake up to find their EV only partially charged, or worse, not charged at all, because the breaker tripped overnight. As James Adams, master electrician and owner of ABR Electric, points out: “Nobody wants to go to bed thinking their car will be ready in the morning, only to discover the breaker tripped at 11 PM. It’s a real problem.”

Challenges for Older Homes The issue becomes even more pronounced in older homes. Modern two-pole 50-amp GFCI breakers required for EV chargers are not always compatible with outdated electrical panels. “Some older panels don’t even support these breakers,” Adams explained. “So, if you’re living in a house with a 20-year-old panel, you’re going to face additional hurdles. Upgrading a panel isn’t a small task—it’s costly and requires professional expertise.”

ABR Electric’s Recommendations for Homeowners To address the challenges posed by nuisance tripping of GFCI breakers, ABR Electric offers the following expert solutions to ensure homeowners can maintain seamless and code-compliant EV charging setups:

  1. Hardwired EV Chargers: Opting for a hardwired EV charging station is one of the simplest ways to eliminate nuisance tripping. Unlike NEMA 14-50 outlets, which require GFCI breakers under the 2020 NEC guidelines, hardwired chargers come equipped with internal GFCI protection and bypass the need for external breakers. “This setup adheres to all NEC safety standards while reducing the risk of nuisance tripping,” explains Adams. Hardwired installations can also enhance the aesthetics of the garage by reducing visible cables and outlet wear, making it an excellent long-term investment for EV infrastructure.
  2. Breaker and Panel Upgrades: For homes with older electrical panels, upgrading to a modern panel that supports two-pole 50-amp GFCI breakers is essential to comply with NEC requirements. Many older panels are not compatible with these advanced breakers, making upgrades a necessity rather than an option. Adams notes: “If you live in an older home, this might be the most significant hurdle to overcome. While panel upgrades involve an upfront cost, they prepare your home for future electrical needs beyond EV charging, including potential solar or other energy-efficient systems.”
  3. Expert Consultation: Working with a licensed electrician is critical to navigating the complexities of EV infrastructure. An experienced professional can assess your home’s current electrical system, recommend the most cost-effective and efficient solutions, and ensure proper compliance with the 2020 NEC. Adams emphasizes: “A lot of people assume they can just buy an EV and plug it in, but that’s not always the case. EV owners need to think through the details—whether their car is compatible with the charging system, whether their panel supports the necessary breakers, and what additional work might be required.”
