ReliaGear White Paper - bolt on vs. plug in | Glynn Newby Product Marketing Manager |
Help enhance the safety, efficiency and longevity of power panel installations. A new white paper compares the benefits of plug-in versus bolt-on connections and finds that plug-in breakers can maintain contact pressure over a wider effective area and do not loosen over time. Learn why this is the case and what it means for you. | |||
| October 27 @ 2pm | Arc Flash solutions for new and existing applications | Mark Johnson Senior Power Systems Engineer |
Performing an Arc Flash Study is the first step in determining ways to reduce the arc flash exposure risk to personnel working around electrical equipment, minimize damage to equipment if an arc even occurs, and shorten loss of production time if repairs are needed. | |||
