Trade-Offs With Arc Flash Safety, Selective Coordination and Protection
Nov 7, 2008,
ON-DEMAND WEBINAR
This presentation explores the relationship between total selective coordination and its impact on arc flash energy in power distribution systems. NFPA 70, the National Electrical Code, prescribes the requirement for total selective coordination with reliability of electrical power systems as a primary goal. Arc flash safety should not be overlooked during the focus on selective coordination requirements. It can be shown that designing a system with total selective coordination in mind can permit high fault currents to persist longer on the electrical distribution system....

Dramatic Changes to the Residential Load Center
Dec 1, 2007,
ON-DEMAND WEBINAR
Starting January 1, 2008, states will begin adopting the new National Electrical Code. Additionally, a series of new regulations governing the residential installation of Arc Fault Current Interrupting (AFCI) circuit breakers will come online. These changes will impact both the functionality of the breakers and how many must be put in the home. These dramatic changes will significantly impact job pricing and overall installation time, as well as having potential ramifications for the homeowner. Come hear Charlie Silverman, Residential Product Manager for GE, explain exactly how these codes will impact you and how you can turn these changes to your advantage in today’s tough housing market....
