It’s hard to overstate the importance overcurrent protection devices can play in safe guarding equipment and people while minimizing downtime in today’s industrial and commercial environments. Recent changes in the NEC®, in NFPA 70E, and in UL Standards have created challenges for those responsible for designing and maintaining electrical equipment and electrical power systems. Mersen’s Overcurrent Protection Basics for Designers and Specifiers seminar will provide you with an up-to-date understanding of key overcurrent protection issues and will offer practical solutions to some of today’s most pressing problems. Here is a brief outline of the topics covered during this 4 hour seminar:
Current–limiting Fuses
Arc Flash Considerations In an Industrial Environment
Short Circuit Current Ratings
Selective Coordination
