Summary

Historically, electrical distribution systems have been somewhat basic in design, comprised of simple breakers, switches, and a handful of protective relays. Much of the system has been manually operated and only served to respond in the event of abnormal conditions. Over the years, systems evolved to include some remote operation capabilities and improvements in protection scenarios. Today, “smart” technology has worked its way into distribution equipment delivering improved safety, efficiency, maintainability, reliability, and sustainability. Whether you’re talking lighting panels, power panels, motor control centers (MCCs), breakers, switches, or switchgear, if your electrical system designs don’t include “smart” technologies, you will soon be left in the dark.

In this webinar, attendees will:

• Learn about some of the smart technologies available today.
• Explore the benefits of incorporating these technologies into your next system upgrade.
• Understand the positive return on investment (ROI) these technologies provide your organization or your clients.

Our best tool in providing the best solution is knowledge.
