Agenda

7:45 - 8:30 am: Breakfast and demos

8:30 - 9:20 am: Advanced arc-flash protection, monitoring, & control in LV Switchgear applications

As the energy distribution market continues to evolve by promoting safer, more reliable, and more digital solutions – real-time monitoring and intelligent control continue to emerge as critical components to success. Join for a discussion around current and future trends in low voltage switchgear applications, codes and standards, and technology which enable this transition.

9:30 - 10:20 am: Power density in medium voltage systems: trends, applications, and design considerations

This presentation uncovers the surge in power density reshaping medium voltage systems.  Fueled by electrification, grid modernization, and industrial expansion, we will explore how rising voltage classes and current demands are transforming infrastructure.  From data centers to mega-factories, discover design consideration including insulation, footprint, and smart monitoring to help power the future..

10:30 - 11:20 am: Optimize large industrial projects by using sync transfer systems 

Sync transfer systems allow one VFD to control multiple motors.  Learn how to design and implement synch transfer architecture to reduce equipment costs and improve efficiency.

11:20 - 11:50 am: Demos

11:50 - 12:30 pm: Lunch 

12:30 - 1:20 pm: Modern Motor Control Centers

Discussion on what is a modern Motor Control Center and why it is not what came out 75+ years ago

1:30 - 2:20 pm: Power Factor Correction 

This presentation explains the fundamentals of power factor correction, including the relationships between active power (kW), reactive power (kVAR), and total power (kVA), and how poor power factor increases electrical demand, system losses, and utility penalties. It demonstrates how properly applied capacitor banks and harmonic considerations can improve power factor, reduce costs, free up electrical capacity, and deliver measurable financial payback for facilities.

2:30 - 3:20 pm:  Improving Maintenance Decisions Through Electrical Asset Health Monitoring 

This presentation introduces how integrated power and energy software, analytics, and services connect OT and IT assets to improve safety, reliability, efficiency, and sustainability across industrial facilities. It shows how these digital solutions support NFPA 70B compliance, predictive maintenance, energy management, and operational outcomes by turning electrical and asset data into actionable insights.

3:00 - 3:50 pm: Power Quality

An overview of Power Quality and its impact on facility operation, with special consideration given to grounding, lightning protection, and switching transients.    

3:20 - 3:30 pm: Wrap-up
