This Disclaimer governs your use of the website located at americanpowerengineers.com (the “Site”), operated by American Power Engineers (“American Power Engineers,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). By accessing or using the Site, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to the terms of this Disclaimer. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the Site.
1. General Information Only
The content published on this Site — including blog articles, service descriptions, case studies, FAQs, and any other written or visual material — is provided for general informational and educational purposes only. It is intended to help visitors understand power system engineering concepts, industry standards, and the scope of services American Power Engineers provides.
Nothing on this Site constitutes, and should not be relied upon as, professional engineering advice, a formal engineering opinion, or a substitute for a project-specific engineering study, analysis, or stamped and sealed design deliverable prepared for a specific project.
2. No Professional Engineer–Client Relationship
Viewing, downloading, or interacting with content on this Site does not create a Professional Engineer–client relationship, a consulting relationship, or any other professional obligation between American Power Engineers and the visitor. A professional engineering relationship is established only through a signed proposal, engagement letter, or contract specifically defining the scope of services, deliverables, and terms for a particular project.
3. No Substitute for Licensed, Project-Specific Engineering
Power system studies, substation design, interconnection engineering, NERC compliance guidance, and every other topic discussed on this Site involve site-specific, project-specific, and jurisdiction-specific variables that cannot be fully addressed in general web content. Before making any engineering, financial, regulatory, or construction decision related to a power system, generation facility, substation, or interconnection project, you should consult directly with a licensed Professional Engineer (PE) who can evaluate your project’s specific conditions, applicable codes, utility requirements, and regulatory obligations.
Do not rely on general commentary published on this Site — including blog articles, FAQs, or guides — in place of a formal engineering study, a stamped design package, or direct consultation with our team or another qualified licensed engineer.
4. Power System Analysis Toolbox & Calculators
The calculators and tools available in our Power System Analysis Toolbox, including the Three Phase Power Calculator and Power Factor Correction Calculator, are provided for general educational and preliminary reference purposes only. These tools use simplified formulas and assumptions and do not account for the full range of variables present in an actual project (including equipment tolerances, code requirements, utility-specific standards, environmental conditions, and system configuration details).
Results generated by these tools must not be used as the basis for equipment selection, procurement, construction, permitting, or any final engineering deliverable. Any design decision must be verified through a formal engineering study performed and stamped by a licensed Professional Engineer.
5. No Guarantee of Accuracy, Completeness, or Currency
Power system engineering is governed by evolving standards, including NERC Reliability Standards, IEEE standards, National Electrical Code (NEC) requirements, and utility- or ISO/RTO-specific technical requirements, all of which are subject to periodic revision. While we make reasonable efforts to keep content on this Site accurate and current as of its publication date, American Power Engineers makes no representation or warranty express or implied regarding the accuracy, completeness, reliability, or timeliness of any information published on the Site.
Standards, regulations, and requirements referenced in our content may have changed since publication, and you should independently verify current requirements applicable to your project.
6. Case Studies and Project Examples
Case studies, project summaries, and testimonials published on this Site are provided to illustrate the type and scope of work American Power Engineers performs. Where permitted by client agreements, project details may be shared with client identification; where confidentiality applies, project details are generalized or anonymized.
Outcomes described in case studies are specific to the facts and circumstances of each individual project and do not guarantee or predict similar results for any other project, client, or set of circumstances.
7. Third-Party Links and References
This Site may reference or link to third-party websites, standards bodies (such as NERC or IEEE), regulatory agencies, or other external resources for convenience and informational purposes. American Power Engineers does not control, endorse, or assume responsibility for the content, accuracy, or practices of any third-party site. Inclusion of a link does not imply endorsement, and you access third-party sites at your own risk and subject to their own terms and privacy policies.
8. No Warranty; Limitation of Liability
The Site and all content on it are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, American Power Engineers, its principals, employees, and affiliates shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages arising out of or in connection with your access to, use of, or reliance on any content published on this Site, including any decisions made or actions taken based on such content.
9. Jurisdiction and Regulatory Variability
Engineering requirements, permitting processes, interconnection procedures, and compliance obligations vary significantly by state, province, utility, and ISO/RTO territory. General discussion of standards or processes on this Site (including NERC, IEEE, NEC, or ISO/RTO-related content) is provided as a general overview and may not reflect the specific requirements applicable in your jurisdiction or interconnection territory.
Always confirm current, jurisdiction-specific requirements with the relevant utility, regulatory authority, or a licensed engineer familiar with your project’s location.
10. Changes to This Disclaimer
We may update this Disclaimer from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, services, or applicable legal requirements. Any changes will be posted on this page with a revised “Last Updated” date. Your continued use of the Site following any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated Disclaimer.
