May 6-8, 2025
End users, consultants, EPCs and integrators with experience in their field and responsibility for maintaining, specifying or installing power distribution and control equipment (such as switchgear and MV drives).
Take advantage of the opportunity to interact with these Eaton product demos and learn about their latest features:
8:00 - 8:30 am: Breakfast and demos
8:30 - 9:20 am: Arc Resistant Motor Control – Arc Absorbing technology and design
This session will review the standards around arc flash safety for medium voltage motor control centers including IEEE C37.20.7. We will look at the various technologies used to meet this standard and their impact on project design.
9:30 - 10:20 am: Low-voltage motor control centers
This course provides an overview on what an MCC is and the information you can pull from intelligent drives, starters and breakers to prevent failures and diagnose faults. Included in the class will be an overview of new intelligent components now being offered in MCCs (e.g. CTM) and future state component offerings around motor health monitoring.
10:30 - 11:00 am: Demos
11:00 - 11:50 am: Designing for electrical maintenance
This session provides attendees with a brief history of NFPA 70B, why it was changed to a standard in 2023 and key things to know. The focus will be on design improvements that can be added into electrical equipment to facilitate maintenance and safety.
